At \u003cstrong\u003e240g in a size small\u003c\/strong\u003e, it sits at the performance end of the road helmet category — built for riders who treat weight savings and heat management as meaningful advantages on long climbs and hot days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:417;390-806\"\u003eWhat separates the updated Velocis from its predecessor is a refined airflow channel system that accelerates ventilation across the head, benefiting both comfort and sustained effort in warm conditions.
