Cinelli x Kask: The Art of Velocity
We teamed up with premier cycling helmet brand, KASK, on two special-edition helmets of the Utopia Y and Protone Icon models for both road and gravel.
This bold new collection redefines performance aesthetics through a striking collision of graphic language and racing heritage. Drawing inspiration from the hypnotic chaos of “razzle-dazzle” naval camouflage and the fluid elegance of color gradients, the design direction creates a visual tension between geometry and motion. The result? A dynamic, futuristic aesthetic where bold angles dissolve into smooth fades — engineered to mirror speed itself.

For the Utopia Y, a radiant gradient flows from high-gloss silver to a distinctive Peloton Pink — a nod to cycling’s grand tours and the iconic leader’s jerseys. Meanwhile, the Protone Icon adopts a vibrant Blue Riviera, evoking the sun-soaked curves of coastal routes and the spirit of Cinelli’s legendary all-terrain racer, the “Riviera.”

Each helmet becomes a canvas for movement: color that melts rearward, echoing the velocity of the rider, with silver flashes beneath as though peeled back by the wind. Precision meets poetry in a collection where design doesn’t just follow function — it races ahead of it.

PROTONE ICON
The elements are in perfect equilibrium: performance, aerodynamics and safety. The design leaves you in no doubt: Protone Icon is KASK's new classic, an exceptional helmet for road, gravel, cyclocross and MTB cross-country. Every aspect has been redesigned to push performance to the limits.
A redesigned internal frame gives the wearer greater safety. Seamless technology joins the lower and upper parts of the shell to give it a refined, elegant look and improved aerodynamics. The new OCTOFIT+ adjustment system optimizes the helmet’s comfort and stability, while a vertical stabilizer across the nape of the neck provides ergonomic neck support and delivers enhanced balance and a customized fit. The internal lining is made of CoolMax® fabric which, as well as being comfortable and quick-drying, is also removable and washable. As is standard with all KASK helmets, the Protone Icon has been developed in accordance with the KASK ROTATIONAL IMPACT WG11 TEST protocol, an objective, scientific approach to measuring the helmet’s performance against rotational impacts.

UTOPIA Y
This helmet is faster, there’s no doubt. Welcome to the new era of aerodynamics and ventilation: speed and comfort in their pure essence. The original Utopia was unique, but the Utopia Y pushes the engineering and design boundaries even further. This updated, redesigned helmet is a new, fresher version.
The original Utopia helmet raised the bar for optimized aerodynamics and ventilation, which remain central to the Utopia Y. The updated edition has introduced the OCTOFIT+ adjustment system, which guarantees improved fit and stability. The Utopia Y also delivers enhanced comfort thanks to its Resistex Carbon padding – a breathable material that promotes moisture dissipation to the outer shell.
