MAAP x KASK Protone Icon Revisited: The Limited Edition Collaboration Gets a New Look

  • A fresh aesthetic for KASK’s iconic Protone Icon helmet in two new limited edition MAAP colourways
  • Duo return for third iteration of its popular collaboration following last year’s Elemento SE and former Protone Icon designs

11:00 CET, 24 March 2026, Melbourne: Leading premium cycling and lifestyle apparel brand MAAP has reignited its collaboration with helmet manufacturer KASK to launch their latest special edition Protone Icon helmet.

Two brands united in their obsession with performance, design and detail. The collaboration marks the third release between MAAP and KASK, reintroducing the iconic Protone Icon in two new limited-edition Charcoal and Silver colourways.

When working on the Protone Icon with KASK, MAAP looked to balance KASK’s sharp performance DNA with their own signature creative defiance. Drawing inspiration from fluid aerodynamic patterns for the graphics while providing a pop of vivid colour with Lavender and Blue accents and webbing.

The MAAP x KASK Protone Icon features an innovative internal strengthening frame, vertical stabiliser for ergonomic neck support, and KASK’s OCTOFIT+ adjustment system - as featured in the previous Elemento SE - to deliver improved safety, comfort and stability.

Performance remains at the core of the design, with seamless technology joining the helmet shell’s lower and upper sections providing improved aerodynamics, whilst a COOLMAX® inner fabric lining helps regulate temperature and maintain comfort. Additional safety features include a highly visible reflective insert at the rear.

Intricate attention to detail also makes the difference in the new Protone Icon, with the rear enlarged rotation cap coated in a special rubber finish to increase grip at your fingertips for quick adjustments at speed.

Merging aesthetics and performance, the new MAAP x KASK Protone Icon is available in two colourways - Charcoal / White / Purple Webbing and Silver / Blue / Blue Webbing, from maap.cc at AUD $495, €355, USD $375, £295.
