Our fastest helmet ever
Ballista is the fastest helmet in Trek's lineup. Its aerodynanic efficiency saves riders 10.1 watts of power and more than one bike length during a final sprint versus Velocis in a standard 1-hour test.
Unexpectedly light
Ballista is light. At 275 grams, its minimalistic, low-profile design makes for a faster helmet that's lighter than ever before.
Cool is fast
Insight from computational fluid dynamic analysis helped optimize vent and channel design for more efficient airflow, creating a cool helmet.
Mips Air safety system
Less weight, seamless integration, improved sweat management, and rotational force management technology from Mips provide better performance and a better experience on the bike.
A better fit
For that Goldilocks fit, Ballista features a single-lace, 360° BOA® fit system with two lace height positions and three yoke positions — offering complete customization.
Secure storage
Ballista’s rubberized side vents make it easy to stow away your sunglasses when you’re not wearing them.
A clear view
Ballista features a beveled edge above the brow that opens up your field of view and lets you easily see the road ahead — even when tucked in the drops.s.
