Limar is known for producing the lightest helmet in the world at just 175g for the Ultralight model. It goes without saying that these exceptionally light helmets are favoured by a number of top professional cycling teams including: Astana, Direct Energie and the Topeak Ergon team.<\/p>\n

Whilst a light helmet is a bonus, Limar continues to ensure very high safety standards are met as well as ensuring the helmets have superior ventilation, an ergonomic fit and added safety through the addition of a red LED light to some of the models.<\/p>\n

Riders such as Fabio Aru, world champion Alban Lakata and our very own Erik Kleinhans are proud to be associated with the brand and have enjoyed the protection the helmets offer, whilst going on to win some of the biggest races in the world.<\/p>\n

\nBikalot will carry the following helmets, helmets can also be viewed on their site, www.bikalot.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Road\/MTB:<\/strong> Ultralight, Lux, 778, 545
Aero and TT:<\/strong> Speed King and 007
MTB and Enduro:<\/strong> 888 and 848DR
Youth and Children:<\/strong> Champ and 224<\/p>\n
