New KASK helmet designs for 30th Maratona

KASK creates two striking, limited edition helmets for legendary Gran Fondo

KASK is once again supporting the Maratona dles Dolomites, one of the world’s most challenging and picturesque one-day Gran Fondos which celebrates its 30th edition this July. The 2016 Maratona will be extra special as the route is shared with Queen stage of this year’s Giro d’Italia (Stage 14).

To celebrate this fantastic event, KASK has created limited edition versions of two of its most popular road helmets; the Mojito Maratona dles Dolomites (black and white) and the Protone Maratona dles Dolomites (black). The helmets incorporate the bright colours of the iconic Maratona logo and will be available via stores globally* all4cycling, and at the Maratona itself.

KASK will be showcasing these helmets for the first time at the Maratona exhibition area ‘La Villa’ from 30th June to 2nd July in San Leonardo, Badia. Both helmets will be available in either medium or large and will come in their own Maratona-Edition box.

About Maratona
The Maratona dles Dolomites was first run in 1987, and its challenging route and spectacular scenery has seen it grow in popularity since then.

Voted one of the top 17 best international Sportives to ride by Cycling Weekly, it’s no wonder all 9,000 places are quickly snapped up as cyclists prepare to tick off such ‘must do’ climbs as the Passo Giau (2,236m over 9.9km at 9.3%) and Passo Valparola (2,200m over 11.5km at 5.8%).
