This area works synergistically with the lower shell, which uses the same principle to reduce turbulence in the area between the helmet and shoulders, and by efficiently directing air above them, it feeds the flow generated by the upper shell.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of these two phenomena directing airflow ensures reduced drag and optimal airflow around the cyclist\u2019s body, improving aerodynamic performance. This reduces drag and improves aerodynamic efficiency, making \u201cAlien\u201d a truly innovative helmet in time trial cycling.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2024-Limar-Alien-wide-aerodynamic-time-trial-helmet_Silverstone-wind-tunnel-screen-grab.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"4b575c\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #4b575c;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2024-Limar-Alien-wide-aerodynamic-time-trial-helmet_Silverstone-wind-tunnel-screen-grab.jpg\" alt=\"Limar Alien wide aerodynamic time trial helmet, Silvertone wind tunnel testing screengrad\" class=\"lazyload not-transparent wp-image-360212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2024-Limar-Alien-wide-aerodynamic-time-trial-helmet_Silverstone-wind-tunnel-screen-grab.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2024-Limar-Alien-wide-aerodynamic-time-trial-helmet_Silverstone-wind-tunnel-screen-grab-297x223.jpg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2024-Limar-Alien-wide-aerodynamic-time-trial-helmet_Silverstone-wind-tunnel-screen-grab-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2024-Limar-Alien-wide-aerodynamic-time-trial-helmet_Silverstone-wind-tunnel-screen-grab-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"4b575c\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #4b575c;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2024-Limar-Alien-wide-aerodynamic-time-trial-helmet_Silverstone-wind-tunnel-screen-grab.jpg\" alt=\"Limar Alien wide aerodynamic time trial helmet, Silvertone wind tunnel testing screengrad\" class=\"lazyload not-transparent wp-image-360212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2024-Limar-Alien-wide-aerodynamic-time-trial-helmet_Silverstone-wind-tunnel-screen-grab.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2024-Limar-Alien-wide-aerodynamic-time-trial-helmet_Silverstone-wind-tunnel-screen-grab-297x223.jpg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2024-Limar-Alien-wide-aerodynamic-time-trial-helmet_Silverstone-wind-tunnel-screen-grab-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2024-Limar-Alien-wide-aerodynamic-time-trial-helmet_Silverstone-wind-tunnel-screen-grab-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>In the end, Limar claims a full 10W drag reduction over their already conventionally-aero short <a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/limar-air-king-evo-tt-helmet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Air King Evo<\/a> time trial helmet.
