Another day, another conspiracy :)

The hump and the foil on the back of the helmet both have clear aerodyn explanations. The hump is also functional (water and some protection).
If you want to think that they serve no practical purpose, it's up to you (and fine to me) :)

Also, people that buy race-replica helmet do not even care if it is the same helmet (most of the time, it is not): they just buy the same colors/graphics.
It's surely not the little foil on the back of the helmet (that by the way could be made available on a 60GBP helmet) that pushes them.

Oh I'm sure they can measure some benefits from these protrusions, but of any "real" significant benefit? I'd truly like to see the genuine data on that before I believe what they say over what I see as their product promotion reasons.

Don't you just love a good old conspiracy theory, Max?

Not really. Just this morning on the radio I was listening to a report about how youngsters just gobbles up *any* stupid theory the see on the internet and then just live by that.
It is taking some seriously embarrassing proportions.

Crap, we've hijacked another thread ... didn't we use to have a moderator around ? :)

Yeah I tend to agree with you on that, but some theories do seem to ring true in some aspects, if not totally true. But an open mind is a good mind, eh.  ;)

Hijacking? Hmmm....  I wouldn't quite go that far. After all, we were talking mostly about the helmet slipstream design aspects and it's relevant other(rider/bike slipstream issues) tangent subjects .... But anyway I'll step-off my soap-box for now before we get our wrists slapped. Lol  ;D 8)
