Introducing Arche-Type, a new limited-edition look available for each model in the fizik Helmet Collection. Designed with a translucent PC shell that reveals the underlying EPS core, Arche-Type helmets combine a dark gray colorway with contrasting matte and glossy finishes. Outlined fizik logos add subtle styling, along with technical text that highlights the functions of different parts of each helmet. As the Arche-Type name suggests, these unique helmets serve as a representative model—a moment in the process—from which our complete helmet range was developed. Like a freeze-frame in the design and development phase, picture Arche-Type as a prototype that has reached its final form.

Kudo is a high-performance, half-shell cycling helmet designed for road, gravel, and cross-country MTB riding. Prioritizing ventilation and weight reduction, Kudo is built for intense efforts on hot days, long climbs, and high-output rides while adhering to the highest safety standards.

Kudo’s sleek, round profile minimizes volume, reducing wind resistance and providing optimal thermoregulation. Integrated vents ensure superior cooling, making it ideal for maintaining performance during tough efforts. Additionally, Kudo is certified to both EU and CPSC standards, providing top-tier impact protection. Top side vents securely hold sunglasses when not in use.

The helmet’s smooth, rounded shape is crafted to reduce surface grip during impact, potentially lessening the force's intensity in the event of a crash. A crossbridge element embedded into the EPS foam further enhances impact protection by efficiently distributing forces across the helmet, contributing to a full and comprehensive approach to safety.

Kudo features the latest MIPS Air Node safety system, seamlessly integrated into the padding. This ultralight, low-friction layer dissipates rotational forces during a crash while remaining low-profile and easily removable for cleaning.

Kudo’s fit system offers advanced adjustability with a micrometric dial at the occipital stabilizer, allowing for tilt adjustments for a personalized fit and eyewear compatibility. The retention system includes a bespoke crown adjustment feature, enabling riders to fine-tune the fit to the exact shape of their head. Lightweight ripstop webbing around the ears adds to adjustability and comfort.
