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.
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
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.
