Giro Syntax MIPS Road Bike Helmet

The Giro Syntax MIPS is equipped with multiple features in a sleek and aesthetic design. This all-round cycling helmet consists of a so-called In-Mold build which combines a polycarbonate outer shell with a shock-absorbing foam lining on the inside. The MIPS system makes this helmet extra safe! Thanks to Giro’s Roc Loc 5 Air MIPS system you can adjust the fit so that you barely feel the helmet. The pads are antibacterial and provide a cooling effect. The Syntax MIPS helmet has high breathability due to its Wind Tunnel ventilation, which combines active vents with internal ducts to improve ventilation.

MIPS System
The MIPS System consists of a low friction middle layer between the EPS lining and the padding, which has elastic fittings. This allows the helmet to move slightly (shift and rotate) relative to the head, which absorbs the lateral and rotational forces that occur during a crash. In contrast, a non-MIPS helmet only absorbs shock with its EPS lining.

In-Mold Construction
The In-Mold Construction combines a sturdy polycarbonate outer shell with a shock-absorbing foam lining on the inside. Due to the fusing process it’s possible to create an efficient ventilation system, which allows the In-Mold helmets to be lighter and more cooling than traditional helmets.

Roc Loc 5 Air MIPS
After more than two years of development, Giro introduces Roc Loc 5 Air. This groundbreaking fit system offers a completely unique user experience with an unprecedented level of comfort, stability and adjustability. With Roc Loc 5 Air you can change the fit tension and vertical position with one hand. You only need to rotate the dial for a tighter fit on rough terrains, or twist it back for a looser fit during a steep climb. Even with this unique feature, the Roc Loc 5 Air is almost 40% lighter than its predecessor, the Roc Loc 4.

Wind Tunnel Ventilation
Giro helmets were designed with the help of Giro’s Wind Tunnel ventilation system. This system combines active vents with internal exhausts. This combination ensures that fresh air flows over and around the head, while warm and stale air is carried off. The innovation of these vents turned out to be a huge success. Cyclists are raving about this feature because they love the cooling effect of the increased airflow around their head.

Coolfit
This material transports perspiration to the surface. This creates high breathability, which results in a dry and comfortable feeling.
