KASK Unveils Mistral 3.0: A New Era of Aerodynamic Efficiency for Time-Trial and Triathlon

CHIUDUNO, ITALY, 4th June 2026 – KASK, the premium designer and manufacturer of high-quality helmets, announces the launch of the Mistral 3.0. Engineered to meet the evolving demands of elite time-trialists and triathletes, the Mistral 3.0 represents a significant leap forward in aerodynamic management and compliance.

While retaining the proven shell geometry and high-performance materials of its predecessor, the Mistral 3.0 introduces a refined aesthetic and a radical leap in optical technology: the Aero Pro Visor 3.0.

Press Kit HERE

Optimized for the “Extreme” Position

The modern aerodynamic silhouette has changed. With athletes adopting increasingly aggressive “head-down” positions, where the face is often partially shielded by the hands and forearms, managing airflow around the lower face and shoulders has become the new frontier of speed.

The Mistral 3.0 addresses this via a widened, cylindrical profile of the visor that minimizes turbulence in these critical zones. To ensure stability at high speeds, the chassis features three new lateral magnets integrated into the shell to secure the new Aero Pro Visor 3.0.

The Aero Pro Visor 3.0: Engineering Watts

The heart of the Mistral 3.0 is the all-new Aero Pro Visor 3.0. Developed and validated in a virtual environment and a physical wind tunnel with INEOS Grenadiers’ Filippo Ganna—and fresh off his dominant time-trial victory at the Giro d’Italia—the visor is a masterclass in marginal gains.

Constructed with a 3D-printed Nylon frame and a Polycarbonate lens, the entire assembly weighs just 70 grams, offering significant power savings over a standard visor:

• 6 watts saved at 45 km/h

• 8 watts saved at 50 km/h

• 11 watts saved at 55 km/h

Press Kit HERE

Design Without Compromise

The Mistral 3.0 debuts with a bold, refreshed graphic identity. Featuring prominent KASK branding on both flanks, the helmet is available in two timeless colorways: Black and White.

“The Mistral 3.0 is not just a refinement; it is a tactical response to the current racing landscape. By optimizing the interaction between the rider’s position and the air flowing toward the shoulders, we’ve managed to find speed where others see obstacles.”, appoints Marco Galli, KASK Marketing director.

The Aero Pro Visor 3.0 features an increased offset from the rider’s face, promoting airflow to eliminate condensation without sacrificing the laminar flow across the helmet’s surface. This ensures that even under maximum physical exertion, vision remains sharp and unobstructed.

Data-driven racing performance: meet Fulcrum’s Gravel Race platform.

Gravel is evolving: speeds are increasing, races are becoming more and more challenging and requirements have changed. This was the driving force behind the creation of Sharq GR and Soniq GR, two new wheels designed specifically for today’s Gravel Races, where riders compete over demanding terrain using wider tyres.

Sharq GR and Soniq GR do not replace the current Sharq and Soniq: they are a natural variant, an extension focused on a precise discipline. In line with Fulcrum’s philosophy, there are no compromises or forced adaptations: every product is designed to express maximum performance and reliability in its specific use.

Press Kit Here

Connecting the dots

The GR project has grown out of an in-depth analysis of race data
and direct experiences from high-level gravel races.

The objective was clear: to create a wheel able to support high speeds over rough terrain, whilst maintaining control, precision and a concrete aerodynamic advantage.

The heart of the project is the new 2-Wave Rim with an inner rim width of 30 mm, and mini-hook, designed to work in perfect synergy with wide tyres, optimising their shape, contact patch and stability. The variable wave profile, with a height of 47/52 mm, improves air flow management and reduces the yaw moment and frontal drag.

The wheel-tyre system has been developed to work in perfect synergy with 47-50 mm wide tyres, which have not only become standard in today’s fastest gravel races but are also the ideal solution for every day rides, where control, efficiency and comfort make the difference. Naturally, wider tyres can also be used, in compliance with the applicable ISO standard.

Specific 45 mm tyres, that in certain contexts have revealed themselves to be technically valid and to perform very well, are also compatible. This combination, which is not currently covered by the ISO standard, has been validated by Fulcrum for certain tyres, following rigorous compatibility tests performed in-house and by tyre manufacturers.

The complete list of 45 mm tyres validated by Fulcrum is constantly growing and can be found at fulcrumwheels.com

The combination between the 30 mm inner rim and the new-generation of wider gravel tyres, opens new pressure management possibilities. The larger air volume of the system allows for a wider adjustment range, to optimize the setup and find the best balance between speed, control and stability in relation to terrain, conditions and riding style.

It is fundamental, however, not to exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the rim (3.5 bar).

Two models, a single vision

Sharq GR and Soniq GR share the same design philosophy and the same performance objective, but provide different technical solutions to meet different requirements.

The Sharq GR represents the maximum expression of Fulcrum’s performance for gravel races: FF100 carbon fibre, hubs with Cup & Cone bearings, flat profile A3RO spokes and 2:1 lacing pattern, for maximum reaction, precision and aerodynamic advantage. Total weight of the system: 1.550 g.

The Soniq GR uses FF80 fibre, which is less competition-orientated compared to FF100, but that is in any case able to provide excellent overall performance. The wheel is completed with sealed cartridge bearings hubs, with adjustable preload, and round spokes, for a total weight of 1.695 g.

Both models use the 2-Way Fit™ technology with non-drilled rim bed, ready for tubeless installation without tubeless tape, for a perfectly sealed, more solid structure, which ensures long-term reliability.

No adaptation, just development

Sharq GR and Soniq GR confirm Fulcrum’s approach: developing specific solutions for every discipline, designed without shortcuts and based on objective data and real-world tests.

We don’t adapt existing projects, but we continue to create new ones, designed to respond with precision to the constantly evolving real world scenarios.

Series Highlight: The Expedition Handlebar System

At the heart of the update is the all-new Handlebar System - at it’s core sits the Expedition Handlebar Pack that features a clamp-free design that guarantees stability without heavy hardware, freeing up handlebar space while enabling flexible capacity options.

Central to the system are the BarSpace Modules, these position the pack away from the bars to ensure your hands natural riding position’s are never compromised. The modules connect directly to the Handlebar pack via the integrated BarSpace Plate maintaining pack form and stability. Dedicated 3-prong mounting points on the BarSpace modules allow for the systems GPS mount and Accessory Arm to be mounted off the bars for a clean, organised cockpit setup.

Stability is achieved through the combination of Stability Cord and Tension Strap, which work together to eliminate movement under load. By removing the need for clamp-based hardware, the system delivers the same secure performance with significantly reduced weight and mechanical complexity.

This approach reflects Apidura’s original design philosophy: creating universal, ultralight bikepacking gear in a market once dominated by cumbersome hardware and pannier systems. Continuing this approach, the Expedition Handlebar System does not use clamp-based hardware, resulting in a pack that is 45% lighter than the competition:

Apidura Expedition Handlebar Pack

• Capacity: 13L

• Weight: 448g

• 248 USD

• 170 GBP

• 198 EUR

Tailfin Bar Bag System

• Capacity: 12.5L

• Weight: 817g

• 345 USD

• 250 GBP

• 315 EUR

The Expedition Handlebar Pack balances stability, modularity, and an ultralight bikepacking ethos, delivering significant benefits in weight, simplicity, and accessibility.

The modularity of the Handlebar System is further extended through the Expedition Front Cargo Mesh and Expedition Front Accessory Pack. These optional components expand carry capacity , integrating seamlessly with the Expedition Handlebar Pack and quick removal to convert into wearable, on-body storage. This allows riders to keep essential items close at hand when off the bike.

A Decade in the Making

In 2016, Apidura launched the world’s first welded, waterproof bikepacking bags - originally named the “Dry” Series and later known as the Expedition Series. It set a new standard for performance bikepacking products.

The 2026 relaunch marks the first major design overhaul since its inception.

In the ten years since, bikepacking has evolved dramatically. Multi-surface riding, and all-road exploration are now the norm. The updated Expedition Series reflects these shifts - refining stability, integration and fit while preserving the simplicity that made the original a benchmark.

Stable To Its Core

Stability is built into every contact point between rider, pack and bike.

Integrated, lightweight attachment systems eradicate movement without relying on heavy hardware, with the new Expedition Handlebar System exemplifying this design approach.

Refined Frame Pack shapes and expanded sizing improve compatibility with modern frame geometries, delivering distraction-free performance across rough gravel, smooth tarmac and everything in between.

The redesigned Saddle Packs enhance stability through a new Stability Channel that conforms to the seatpost, supported by silicone grip strips to increase hold. A newly developed Hypalon Cradle compresses contents toward the base of the pack, working in conjunction with the Stability Channel to create a stable ride.

Gobik takes another step forward in textile innovation with the launch of the X bib short. Under the claim “Get in the zone”, the brand introduces a garment designed to eliminate any interference between the cyclist’s body and their performance, allowing cadence, focus, power, and breathing to flow without distractions.

The X is built on a philosophy of absolute refinement and maximum performance, offering high-end features within a mid-range price segment. This model positions itself as one of the brand’s essential pieces, defined by technical minimalism, true lightness, and absolute comfort.

158 grams of precision

Weighing just 158 g (size M), the new X bib short delivers a genuine “second-skin” experience. Its wraparound pattern has been optimized to reduce seams almost entirely, eliminating friction points and unnecessary pressure.

One of the most notable innovations is the raw-cut leg finishing. Unlike conventional bib shorts, it eliminates internal silicone grippers, achieving a firm and stable fit through the fabric’s own tension. The result is secure support without aggressiveness, leaving no marks on the skin and ensuring total freedom of movement.

Material engineering: DUALKNIT PRO, OEKO-TEX®, Elastic Interface® and Graphene

At the core of the garment is DUALKNIT PRO, a double circular-knit polyamide fabric that balances three key pillars: elasticity, durability, and superior breathability. Certified OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and featuring 50+ UPF sun protection, it is designed to perform in a temperature range of +15 to +35 °C, making it a versatile option for both road and gravel riding.

In the upper section, the ergonomic raw-cut seamless straps incorporate graphene yarn. This cutting-edge material plays a key role in thermal regulation and odor neutralization, limiting moisture buildup during peak effort. In addition, the brand continues to focus on designs that enhance efficiency and comfort, incorporating a rear magnetic closure in the women’s version and a thermosealed opening in the men’s version.

For saddle contact, Gobik relies on Elastic Interface® technology, integrating the K10 graphene chamois (for men) and K9 (for women), ensuring absolute comfort on long-distance rides.

The ultimate technical wardrobe staple

The X bib short enters the market with a vision of permanence. Although the initial launch features two colors as a seasonal preview, the color range will expand throughout the summer to offer multiple tones, allowing cyclists to create versatile outfit combinations.

“This bib short doesn’t add superfluous elements — it removes them. It doesn’t compete with performance, it supports it. It doesn’t distract, it disappears,” say Gobik’s design team.

With this launch, Gobik presents a garment that aims to become the essential bib short in any technical cycling kit: a solid foundation on which to build style and speed. Because when everything flows and you get in the zone, the only thing that matters is pedaling.

Gobik launches Glitch Mode, the first drop of Summer 2026: a collection that takes digital aesthetics as its starting point to reinterpret movement on the bike. Inspired by color fragmentation and the logic of bitmaps, the collection transforms blocks and distortions into a visual language uniquely applied to cycling.

In Glitch Mode, fragmentation is not a graphic effect—it is rhythm. Dynamic, tense, and precise surfaces accompany the speed and energy of pedaling. Distortion becomes control, and color becomes drive.

“We are not chasing digital nostalgia. We are pursuing contemporaneity. This is not a decorative glitch—it is controlled energy.”

Decoding Movement.

Glitch invites riders to decode color through motion. Fragmented patterns come to life in action, as the garment interacts with the road and the design activates while cycling. Each piece is engineered to translate this visual language into real performance: ultralight fabrics, high breathability, and summer-optimized fits. The digital becomes tangible.

Aesthetic Evolution.

With this first drop, Gobik strengthens its position as a brand that evolves in language and aesthetic ambition without compromising its technical essence.
The collection includes key models such as the CX Pro 4.0 jersey, Attitude, Magnitude, and Vanquish.

Gobik presents the new kit for its flagship team under the banner The Art of Celebration, a collaboration with African artist Karabo Poppy that goes beyond the launch of a new kit to sit at the intersection of art, identity and competition. A project that offers a cultural reading of sport, deliberately moving away from the conventional codes of sports communication.

The collaboration is born as a genuine dialogue between two ways of understanding celebration: one that emerges from art and another that arises from competitive effort. This is not an aesthetic exercise, but a shared narrative that connects emotion, belonging and collective expression.

Karabo Poppy is a South African illustrator, graphic designer and urban artist based in Johannesburg, widely recognised for a contemporary visual language deeply rooted in African identity. Her work combines colour, geometry and storytelling to celebrate community, pride and collective memory, and has been applied both in urban spaces and in cultural projects and international brand collaborations with names such as Nike, Google, Coca-Cola and Netflix. Her artistic practice consistently moves between the symbolic and the collective, using design as a tool for cultural expression.

The creative starting point is Karabo Poppy’s work and her research into African Portrait Cloths: traditional African textiles that act as vehicles of identity, pride and shared memory. Far from being mere decorative patterns, these fabrics tell personal and collective stories and are used to mark moments of unity, celebration and community. This symbolic weight is transferred to the design of the jersey for the new Gobik Factory Team kit for the 2026 season.

In parallel, competitive cycling shares a very similar impulse. Competing is not simply about crossing a finish line; it is about being part of a team, sharing codes, embracing collective effort and celebrating everything that comes after the tension. The collaboration between Gobik and Karabo sits precisely at this point of convergence: when art and competition speak the same language without the need for explanation.

Under the claim The Art of Celebration, the campaign is built around a clear central idea: celebration is not the end of effort, but an essential part of competing. Art celebrates through colour, line and rhythm; cycling does so through self-improvement, emotion and shared experience. The new kit is conceived as a visual translation of this idea.

At its core is the unisex CX Pro 4.0 jersey, conceived as the canvas on which Karabo develops her artistic proposal, translating the language of African Portrait Cloths into the world of competition. A garment designed to perform at the highest level, while also communicating something deeper than performance alone. The set is completed by the X bib shorts, available in men’s and women’s versions, providing a sober and balanced technical foundation that reinforces the competitive character of the kit.

With The Art of Celebration, Gobik positions itself as a brand capable of uniting high performance, design and emotion, understanding competition as a cultural and human phenomenon. Because, ultimately, competing is also a way of celebrating who we are.

MICHE PRESENTS DEVA RD, THE MOST AERODYNAMIC AND LIGHTWEIGHT MICHE WHEELS YET.

“Deva” is a Sanskrit word meaning “shining one” — a word that embodies harmony, balance, and the bond that connects sky and matter.

For Deva RD, this vision takes concrete shape: carbon is moulded into essential profiles, giving life to Miche’s most aerodynamic and lightweight wheel yet, and the first with carbon spokes.

Deva RD is the ultimate expression of the Miche Formula, a method combining engineering, data analysis and outstanding cycling expertise. The project includes 28 CFD simulations, wind tunnel tests and dedicated prototypes developed in collaboration with the Groupama–FDJ Cycling Team, with a single goal: to turn numbers and measurements into a tangible advantage.

THE FORMULA FOR PERFORMANCE

The new rim profile reduces turbulence and improves stability in crosswind conditions, while carbon spokes increase the stiffness-to-weight ratio and reduce rotating mass, bringing the wheelset down to 1305 g (52 mm rim profile). Two rim profile options will be available: 52 mm and 62 mm, allowing riders to choose between all-round efficiency and maximum aerodynamic performance for high-speed racing.

The updated spoke configuration and hub geometry ensure immediate power transfer and precise control.

Developed on the roads of the World Tour with input from Groupama–FDJ Cycling Team riders, Deva RD springs from the experience of those who live and measure speed every day, turning it into performance.

DEVA RD will be available in two color options.

Midnight Black is the nocturnal essence of the DEVA universe: a deep, absolute black that absorbs light and defines every line with silent precision. Essential and rigorous, it is a presence that does not seek attention but naturally commands it.

Daylight Silver represents awakening: a luminous finish that captures light and reflects it back, alive and in constant motion. Bright, dynamic reflections enhance the wheel’s shapes, turning lightness into color and natural elegance.

DEVA RD will make its official debut at the Santos Tour Down Under on January 16, bringing the new Miche Formula to the roads of the World Tour.

For Wilier, speed is not just about performance, but about interpretation. The Grip is born from this vision and brings it into the gravel world, transforming it into a recognizable, competitive project that is entirely consistent with the brand’s racing DNA.

Created as an incubator for Wilier’s gravel activities, The Grip integrates top-level competition, product development, aesthetic research, and storytelling. It is a project aimed at building a strong and consistent presence in the international gravel landscape, positioning Wilier as an authentic and credible reference in a constantly evolving scene.

This vision takes shape in the team’s aesthetic identity and in the Rave SLR ID2 with a dedicated The Grip livery, which will accompany the team throughout the 2026 season.

The visual language is built around the concept of connection through contact, expressed through bold textures, glitch gradients, and distorted typography. A livery inspired by 1990s/2000s imagery—already at the core of the Rave SLR ID2 launch campaign—portrays gravel without filters, capturing and expressing its most authentic nature.

Leading The Grip will be Mattia De Marchi, a benchmark athlete on the international gravel scene, who will take on the dual role of team manager and rider. The Grip was born from a shared journey with De Marchi from the very early stages: a project developed together, step by step, starting from a shared vision of gravel racing. After committing to the Wilier project, Mattia contributed directly to shaping the team’s sporting and technical identity, becoming a foundational part of it.

Alongside him is Eddy Le Huitouze, a young and talented rider coming from the WorldTour, who has chosen gravel as the ground on which to relaunch his sporting career, bringing strong racing culture and great competitive ambition to the project.

Completing the roster is Jordy Bouts, an established athlete in international gravel racing with direct experience in the most important competitions. Bouts has chosen The Grip as the definitive step in his career, recognizing in the project the structure and vision needed to compete consistently at the highest level.

“The identity of The Grip and the way Wilier interprets gravel are what convinced me. It’s a new project with a clear direction and a bike designed for modern gravel. Having an active role in the team’s development makes this challenge even more exciting.”

— Mattia De Marchi

The Grip will follow an international calendar, confirming the project’s global nature. The season debut is set for February 14, 2026, at Santa Vall, the first stop in a journey that will continue with The Hills, Sea Otter Classic (USA), The Traka, Unbound Gravel, The Rift, and other top-tier events. A program spanning Europe and the United States, to measure up and compete in the benchmark races of the global gravel scene.

Wilier already boasts an outstanding gravel palmarès, with victories at The Traka 200 and Unbound Gravel. These results underscore the brand’s credibility in this discipline. The Grip represents the definitive step toward a consistent and structured presence at the highest level of gravel racing.

“With The Grip, we are not starting a new adventure: in gravel, we have already proven that we can win the most important races. This project represents the definitive step toward a consistent and coherent presence in gravel racing, alongside a product offering that is receiving very positive feedback, as demonstrated by the success of the Rave SLR ID2. Competition and product grow together, true to the Culture of Speed and to the way Wilier interprets off-road riding.”

The GRIT 2.0 redefines the concept of cargo bib tights by combining storage capacity, durability and a new chamois developed to tackle more than 12 hours in the saddle.

Gobik expands its long-distance cycling range with the launch of the new GRIT cargo bib tights, a garment designed for cyclists seeking performance, comfort and functionality on demanding routes, whether on the road, gravel or off-road terrain.

Capacity, stability and durability for long distances

Its pattern and fabrics ensure freedom of movement, abrasion resistance and effective breathability, making it an ideal garment for cyclists who prioritize self-sufficiency and performance on long-distance adventures.

G10 chamois: a new standard in long-lasting comfort

The real qualitative leap of the GRIT comes with the introduction of the new G10 chamois, specifically designed for cyclists who spend many hours in the saddle and demand maximum comfort without sacrificing performance.

Developed by Elastic Interface® exclusively for Gobik, the G10 chamois delivers consistent support even on rides lasting 10 to 12 hours.

A premium experience for long-distance cyclists

With the new GRIT cargo bib tights and the G10 chamois, Gobik reinforces its commitment to developing technical apparel designed for adventure, durability and extreme comfort.

The INEOS Grenadiers team, together with Gobik as its technical textile partner, proudly presents its kit for the 2026 season—marking a milestone in the team’s visual identity. The major innovation arrives in the form of a brighter palette highlighted by a pure orange, free of dark undertones: a strategic shift aimed at boosting the team’s visibility and strengthening its recognition within the WorldTour peloton.

For the first time in the history of INEOS Grenadiers, orange becomes the core of the team’s visual identity. The choice is no coincidence: no other WorldTour team embraces a similar aesthetic, allowing the Grenadiers to stand out clearly and decisively. This pure tone, complemented by a white base, delivers energy and brightness while maintaining the elegance and restraint that have long defined the team.

The design was created with a clear purpose: immediate recognition. The exclusive use of this orange ensures a striking presence in the peloton, while the white panels on the lower sections add balance and clarity, allowing the leading colour to shine with harmonious strength. The result is a sophisticated, functional and memorable kit.

“The INEOS Grenadiers 2026 kit has been designed for the team to stand out like never before in the peloton. Orange, an iconic colour for the team, reinforces its identity and is paired with a light grey bib short developed in close collaboration with team management, the riders themselves and our designers. We wanted a colour that not only offered visibility and modernity, but also turned the kit into a trend-setting fashion statement within the peloton. This collaborative effort has been key to creating a kit that reflects the spirit of INEOS—the shared drive to innovate,” explains Alberto García, CEO of Gobik.

Precision, performance and identity

The design is not only aesthetic but also highly functional. The new kit incorporates the Reactive 2.0 jersey and Lancer Diamond bib shorts, developed within Gobik’s most advanced racing collection to guarantee precision, performance and comfort in every stage.

With this launch, INEOS Grenadiers reaffirms its commitment to innovation and visual identity, delivering a sophisticated, functional and memorable kit designed to ensure the team stands out instantly within the WorldTour peloton.

ABOUT INEOS GRENADIERS

INEOS Grenadiers Cycling Team is a part of the INEOS Sport network owned by INEOS, a world leading global petrochemicals manufacturer. In 2020 INEOS launched INEOS Automotive Ltd to design, build and bring to market a utilitarian 4X4. The Grenadier was born.

This road racing cycling team was founded in 2010, by Sir Dave Brailsford, with the vision to be the first team to win the Tour de France with a British rider, which it achieved in 2012 with Sir Bradley Wiggins. It went on to win the Tour de France six more times over the course of a decade. The Team has regularly been considered a pioneer in sporting innovation, research and development.

ABOUT GOBIK

Gobik was founded in 2010 when the cycling club of Yecla, Murcia (Spain) needed a cycling kit to compete. Since then, the customization of cycling apparel has been a major part of its DNA, dressing professional teams such as FDJ United Suez, UAE Team Emirates, or Movistar Team, and from 2024, the INEOS Grenadiers cycling team.

An unforgettable journey perfectly encapsulated in its new brand claim, What a ride.

FDJ United SUEZ and technical partner Gobik are officially releasing the team’s 2026 jersey, following its first appearance during the 2025 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. The kit was launched at the Tour to align its debut with the sport’s most visible moment, allowing the new design to enter competition at the peak of global attention rather than waiting for the traditional end-of-year launch cycle.

After its premiere at the Tour, the jersey now enters the market as teams begin presenting their 2026 collections. The approach creates a full season of continuity for FDJ United SUEZ, strengthening recognition among fans and partners while offering a clearer, more streamlined transition between competitive years.

From shadow to light: this is how the 2026 design can be defined, inspired by the team’s DNA and founding values. Woven in an inky, deep black, the jersey reflects the unseen hours of the sport: training sessions before dawn, rides in the rain, the fear and doubts of a jour sans. In contrast, a vivid halo of light rises on the chest, symbolizing the inner spark that transforms sacrifice into brilliance at the moment of victory.
