Julbo Sprint helmet review: Strong aero option for a low price but lacking in other areas

The Julbo Sprint helmet is the brand’s aerodynamic offering alongside its two other, more ventilation-focused, race day road helmets. The men’s professional team Groupama-FDJ wear Julbo’s helmets in the WorldTour, after switching from long-time partner Giro.

Very little info about the helmet is provided by the brand, with optimally tuned air vents and aerodynamic performance across multiple wind angles being the main claim for this helmet.

We recently took the Julbo Sprint to the wind tunnel to compete against the other aero road helmet competitors and found it performed pretty strongly. Coming in at €149.00 (international pricing varies), it is also one of the cheaper aero road helmets available along with the Van Rysal FCR, and finished ahead of several more expensive competitors. However, the performance of a helmet is not solely based on its aerodynamics, so we took to the road with the Julbo Sprint to see how it performed elsewhere.
