A team that makes their sport beautiful to watch is one that is appreciated by all, regardless of sport, regardless of success.  Such teams represent sport in its truest form. They show that it is not only winning that makes a team and they demonstrate that the spectacle of pure competition is so alluring.

In the WorldTour, EF Education-EasyPost has long been that team.

The team has been—and continues to be—the natural home of cyclists who dare to be different, who forge their own paths. It’s the team that has kept the romance of this great sport truly alive.

Characters like Alex Howes and Taylor Phinney, who famously chose to ride without a power meter, were able to flourish within the team. Personalities like Rigoberto Urán continue to bring vivaciousness to the peloton, animating races and fans in an inimitable way.

The team’s approach to what it means to race is something that has appealed to us since the very beginning of our journey into the world of road cycling protection. And it’s what has appealed to so many others around the world. It’s one of the many reasons we have been so happy to work alongside them for so many years.

Seeing the team nurture the likes of Ben Healy and Magnus Cort Nielsen, who electrify races, makes watching the peloton (and the breakaway) so addictive.

But racers require support. Not only from their official team, but from a much larger team of loyal supporters who are there at all times, cheering them on through thick and thin, through the good times and the bad, giving energy and purpose to all they can do on the road.

With the release of the EF Education-EasyPost edition Ventral Air Mips, we pay tribute to this broader team, to the people who are there for the team to celebrate the highs and support through the lows. Without you, racing would be empty; success would be meaningless.

This is the helmet you have asked for for many years; finally, we have made it. This helmet is identical to what the riders on EF Education-EasyPost use, giving you the same protection the pros trust as they race.

The helmet’s internal airflow channels provide thorough ventilation at both low and high speeds, which helps the pros keep a cool head through every heated tactical effort in the mountains.

Developed with a focus on extreme levels of ventilation, minimal weight and high levels of protection, the Ventral Air Mips has been proven at the highest levels of World Tour racing. Now, it can be proven by the team’s loyal supporters.

In creating the team replica helmet, we wanted to ensure fans could share the innovation and technology relied on by the team, not just the colourway. While the iconic pink makes it easy to show your support, it’s the protection that will keep you riding.
