Why are the helmets huge?

oldsprinter

Unlike track riders elsewhere in the world, these guys race in all weather. In fact, the biggest races of the season are held in December/January, when there can be snow around. The tracks are super grippy, like sandpaper, but that means crashing on them can turn you into bacon.

Keirin riders all have to have the same kit, so it makes sense to make the helmets as protective as possible - afterall, if no one can have an advantage, why opt for unprotective helmets? The best ones are made by the motorcycle helmet maker Arai, and basically are slightly smaller versions of a motorbike helmet.

With the kevlar body armour on, they look like gladiators, hmmm, or maybe bumblebees. Gladiatorial bumblebees!! Tatakau hachi

Great thread Tomity.

oldsprinter

Thanks Tomity. Some of these tracks look like they are in a beautiful area.

Do amateur riders race on HACHIOJI TAKIGAHARA flat cycling track still?

Tomity

Thanks for the information.
By the way, the chainring is excellent.
Not noisy at all.

Tomity

Hi!! oldsprinter-san
This track is not being used at all now.
It has not been used for 20 years.

The track hurts because it doesn't use it at all.
The soccer stadium that exists in track is used.

I brought information on the bicycle racetrack together because I got a lot of inquiries from the people of an overseas keirin bicycle fan.
It is glad when interested in the cycle race for many people.

I am glad if it can be useful.
