I just assumed you were kidding about it being a helmet because it's so out of line with "revolutionizing biking". This would be marketing malpractice because even the most revolutionary change in helmet technology is going to seem like such a let-down with that build-up.

Where are you getting this from?

Exactly. There's nothing wrong with my current helmet. It worked well for my ancestors and it's doing a fine job by me.

Specialized was announcing something on the radio this morning. Sorry I don’t remember what it was. Maybe just a Shimano undercut? Snooze.

I figured it out. It’s a semi translucent frame with internal LED backlighting that is woven into the frame and it changes color and intensity with the force measured by a power meter. It will also have larger Trek logos that are always backlit day or night, that will be marketed as a visibility feature. The lighting will also ionize the air around the bike creating a bubble of charged air that reduces the drag coefficient by .000000024% thus making the bike more aero and faster. Corresponding ionizing socks that is only available from Trek will increase pedaling cadence by an equall percentage making this a day to remember.

If it is a new helmet that Trek says will change cycling forever; they've jumped the shark.
