The helmet appeared hot on the heels of a spate of very aero-looking and clearly timetrial-inspired helmets that were being used by pros in gasp!-mass-start races. It also spurred some interesting conversations at Bicycling. A few brave folks on staff spoke up in defense of the helmets in the name of keeping time-trial tech weird. However, the general reaction was negative and, in my understanding, primarily focused on aesthetics.
