Innovative and sustainable, our revolutionary Wingdream aero-helmet sets new benchmarks in cycling aerodynamics and safety. Developed with the Bahrain Victorious Team, the Wingdream underwent extensive real-world and wind tunnel testing, achieving a 16.6W improvement in air penetration at 45 km/h over a classic cycling helmet, and surpassing The Wing by 13.9W. It combines rigorous safety standards with comfort features like the RSR 11S Retention System and Fidlock® magnetic buckle system, making it an indispensable weapon for competitive cyclists aiming to dominate against the clock.

AERODYNAMIC BENEFITS
The result of two years of development and numerous indoor and outdoor tests, the Wingdream takes the studies of aerodynamics applied to cycling helmets to a new level, improving the management of turbulence at the athlete's back, as well as its air penetration coefficient. Wingdream's unique shape directs the airflow towards the athlete's shoulders, enhancing your aerodynamics.
Wind tunnel tests results show a massive energy savings of almost 10 watts which translates to about four seconds saved every 10 kilometers!
"The world of helmet development is similar to Formula One: it requires engineering creativity, 3D studies, prototypes, wind tunnel tests, and athlete testing. There is a lot of research behind a product like this, which is subjected to continuous verification by the UCI and certification bodies. And, of course, there are significant economic investments. Many models currently available on the market do not feature holes. Both Wing and Wingdream, however, have central holes to ventilate the cranial cap area. Our challenge was precisely to create a helmet that allowed maximum aerodynamic savings, but at the same time was also cool & comfortable. Managing head temperature is crucial: cyclists push at speeds over 45 km/h for 40 minutes during a time trial, triathletes even longer. The advantages of aerodynamic penetration are quickly nullified if there is excessive head heating."

We performed an independent test of the Rudy Project Wingdream Aero helmet recently and the review, seen below from our Fast or Fiction YouTube channel, features 5 athletes being tested using their own aero helmets against the WingDream (because those helmets had already tested fastest for them). The results speak for themselves. They’re not a surprise as the design was a collaboration with SwissSide, who certainly know their stuff and have their hand in many new aero-related products you might not realize.
As always, this was a completely independent test. Not paid, not sponsored. Rudy Project did send the helmet for us to test (we usually buy the products ourselves) with the understanding we’d post the results no matter what. They didn’t even get a preview of the video and they’re seeing the details of our tests at the same time all of you are."

I love the feel of the helmet! Extra light and comfortable. There is a beautiful sleek look that is better in person. I am looking forward to wear this helmet on race day.
For anyone thinking about upgrading to the Wingdream, do it! I’ve taken it on a few rides this week and it is fantastic in the aero position and the visibility/ventilation is incredible! I highly recommend it!
I previously used the Giro Aerohead and the RP Wing helmets. The former was heavy and had limited visibility. The latter was a very tight fit and, because the Wing sat very tight to ears the helmet made it difficult to hear while riding.
By contrast, The Wing Dream is the most comfortable aero helmet I’ve ever tried. Visibility, cooling, great fit/adjjustabilty, ease of use — all fantastic. So what if the helmet makes you look like a Starwars Stormtrooper? That’s also part of the appeal.
The Rudy Project Egos helmet is outstanding. The air flow and ventilation is superb for a hot summer ride. Excellent fit and comfort. The new magnetic FidLock® buckle is easy to open and close with one hand. I highly recommend this helmet!
I purchased the pacific blue matte frame with black photochromic Impact 2 lenses. The frame and lenses are fine. Where I'm not sold is the side coverage, and I am on the fence about keeping them. I'm only 5', with a 21.5" circumference head. My nose bridge does stick out pretty far, so most glasses have to sit far forward of my eye sockets. The angle of the wrap on the frame is good, but the lenses just don't seem to go far enough back on the sides. The photo shows how much of my eye socket is still exposed. I live in an area with a lot of wind, and having 40mph sustained winds with debris coming at me from the side on a run isn't fun. They are better than standard glasses for protection, but aren't enough to make me fall in love with them. Add the cost of the prescription inserts I'll need to buy and well... it's hard to call this a 5-star product, at least for someone with my head shape. Maybe there's another style that will fit better, but it's hard to tell just how far back the lenses go.
Hi Amy! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and providing such thorough feedback. We truly appreciate it. We understand your concern regarding the side coverage and we recommend adjusting the nose piece to allow the frame to sit closer to your face, which should provide more coverage on the sides. If you've already tried this and it's still not working, we suggest trying our new Astral Sphere shield, which offers deeper side coverage and allows for prescription inserts directly in the lenses. We're here to work with you and find the best solution. Thank you for considering Rydon and we hope to make your experience a 5-star one.
Just replaced my Sterling helmet with this one. Can’t be happier. I’ve had 3 Sterling helmets over the years and it was time to upgrade. Looks great and light weight. Feels faster. The only thing is that I wish it had the mesh net lining to keep the bugs, bees and pebbles out. The fit is good.
