Choosing an aero cycling helmet is about more than speed. Riders want aerodynamic efficiency, lightweight comfort, a secure fit, and—above all—protection they can trust.
The P2R A70 PRO was built around that balance. It combines a 4-Star Virginia Tech Helmet Rating, the Mips® Safety System, wind-tunnel-tested aerodynamics, and everyday comfort in one performance-focused package.
For riders looking for a helmet that delivers more than a sleek aero profile, the A70 PRO brings independent safety testing into the conversation.
What Is the Virginia Tech Helmet Rating?
Most bicycle helmets sold by reputable retailers must meet required safety certification standards. But certification is usually a pass-or-fail requirement: it tells you whether a helmet meets the minimum standard.
The Virginia Tech Helmet Lab goes further.
Instead of simply determining whether a helmet passes a standard, Virginia Tech evaluates how helmets perform across a range of impact scenarios. Its testing protocol measures both linear acceleration and rotational velocity, two key factors used to estimate concussion risk in cycling-related impacts.
The result is a star rating that helps riders compare helmets beyond basic certification requirements. Virginia Tech recommends helmets rated 4 or 5 stars, as these offer higher levels of protection under its testing protocol.
That's where the P2R A70 PRO stands out.
At the time of writing, the A70 PRO earned:
- ★★★★ Virginia Tech Helmet Rating
- Recommended by the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab
- Ranked #101 among all helmets tested
- Ranked among the Top 10 Aero Helmets in the Virginia Tech database
For riders, that means the A70 PRO is not relying on marketing claims alone. Its safety performance has been independently tested and rated by one of the most widely referenced helmet testing programs in cycling.
Protection Starts on the Inside
Independent testing shows how a helmet performs. But that performance starts with the structure and safety technologies built into the helmet itself.
Mips® Safety System
The A70 PRO features the Mips® Safety System, which is designed to help reduce rotational motion transferred to the head during certain angled impacts.
In many cycling crashes, impact forces do not hit the helmet straight on. Angled impacts can create rotational motion, which is one of the reasons modern helmet design increasingly focuses on managing both linear and rotational forces.
By allowing a small amount of relative movement between the helmet and the head, the low-friction layer helps redirect rotational forces while working together with the helmet’s impact-absorbing structure.
Dual-Density EPS Construction
The A70 PRO also features a dual-density EPS liner, engineered to help absorb and manage impact energy.
By combining two EPS densities, the helmet is designed to balance impact management, weight, and comfort. The goal is not only to protect, but to create a helmet riders actually want to wear every day.
Because the safest helmet is the one you choose to put on before every ride.
Independently Tested in the Wind Tunnel
Safety is the foundation, but the A70 PRO was also built for performance.
In addition to its Virginia Tech rating, the A70 PRO was independently tested at the Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub in the United Kingdom, where its aerodynamic performance was evaluated under controlled wind-tunnel testing conditions.
Together, these independent evaluations reflect the core idea behind the A70 PRO: a helmet should deliver confidence through both protection and performance.

Aero Performance Shouldn’t Have to Cost $300
Many premium aero helmets sit in a much higher price range. The A70 PRO was designed to challenge that expectation.
At $99, it brings together:
- Virginia Tech 4-Star safety rating
- Mips® Safety System
- Wind-tunnel-tested aerodynamics
- Dual-density EPS construction
- Lightweight 270 g design, Size M
The A70 PRO is not about choosing between safety, aerodynamics, comfort, and value. It was built to deliver all of them in one helmet.
More Than a Helmet Rating
A Virginia Tech rating is an important achievement, but it is only one part of what defines a great cycling helmet.
The A70 PRO was developed as a complete riding system: safety technology, aerodynamic shaping, lightweight construction, and everyday usability working together—not as separate features, but as one integrated design.
Backed by independent helmet safety testing and refined through aerodynamic development, the P2R A70 PRO reflects a simple belief:
Riders should not have to choose between protection, performance, comfort, and value.
