Pablo Hernandez remembers the day he and the two brothers first saw Invasor. Invasor was bought as a two-year-old by Pablo Hernandez and brothers Juan Luis and Luis Alberto Vio Bado, Uruguayans who brought him to their home country. Quendom and Invasor's maternal line are at Haras Santa Ines, Duggan, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Candy Stripes was also the sire of such notable horses as Criollito, Different, Leroidesanimaux, Lundy's Liability, Sweetest Thing, and Victory Stripes. In 2013 he was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, New York.Ī bay stallion with a small white star, Invasor was foaled in Argentina, sired by the famous Candy Stripes out of Quendom (ARG) by Interprete (ARG). He was voted the Eclipse Award for American Horse of the Year and led the year-end World Thoroughbred Racehorse Rankings in 2006. He finished racing with a record of eleven wins in twelve starts and career earnings of $7,804,070. His two biggest wins were the 2006 Breeders' Cup Classic, in which he defeated heavily favored Bernardini and highly fancied Lava Man, and the 2007 Dubai World Cup, the world's richest horse race. The winner of the 2005 Triple Crown in Uruguay, he was later purchased by Sheik Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who paid approximately US$1.4 million for the horse. Invasor (foaled August 3, 2002) is a Thoroughbred racehorse bred in Argentina by Haras Clausan (Haras Santa Ines).

It’s become my go-to helmet for road and XC.Argentine-bred Thoroughbred racehorse Invasor At $249.99, it’s not cheap, but if you’re looking for a top end helmet with great features and superb comfort, it’s worth a test run. There’s a lot that I like about this helmet, nothing I don’t – great fit, doesn’t overheat, looks good and, of course, the NeoVisor. Best part? It’ll probably work in a number of other helmets, too. Where a traditional cycling cap would trap heat and sweat against your head, the NeoVisor keeps things open and flowing. It weighs next to nothing, works just like a regular visor to block sun/rain/whatever, but doesn’t put a barrier between you and the vents. It’s a removable visor that simply Velcros in between the pads and helmet using existing Velcro panels. The NeoVisor is the final trick feature that really sets the Velocis apart. Nice to see they’re thinking of such things. So, it may fade a bit over time, but I can live with that. Why? Because those chemicals are bad for the planet. The yellow isn’t as obnoxiously bright as some others, but it comes with a note saying they avoided chemical UV protectors for it that would otherwise brighten and prolong it’s color life. I may not have felt the breeze blowing through my locks, but the heat certainly wasn’t sticking around.įive colors are offered: Black/Gray, White/Silver, White/Red, Factory Team (Black/Red/White) and this day-glow yellow and black. Still, my head never felt like it was overheating, even in 90º+ (F) temps and drenching humidity. Oddly, even with a day-old short summer hair cut, I didn’t notice the wind blowing over my skull like I usually do after a fresh clip. Bontrager does make a big deal about its cooling, and all I can say is it’s not a hot helmet.
It then runs through the channels over your head and out the equally large exit ports on the back. And it looks better when it’s not bulbous.įront vents are big, which help bring air in.
There are no specific aerodynamic claims about the Velocis on their website or in the materials we received, but anytime you can reduce your frontal footprint, it helps decrease drag.
Fit is very good with a wide range of adjustment.įit is fairly low profile, which theoretically helps it cheat the wind a bit. I usually wear a medium in most helmet brands and the Bontrager’s no different. These combine to hold the helmet together in a crash and provide the structural integrity required for such large vents. Inside the EPS are both Aramid and composite skeletons.
