Giro Syntax Helmet (MIPS)

When it comes to head protection the Syntax Road Cycle Helmet (MIPS) is at the cutting edge of design. The tough In-Mold polycarbonate shell is paired with an EPS liner to absorb impacts and between these two layers is the integrated MIPS technology. While all Giro helmets are designed to reduce as much energy as possible while meeting and exceeding stringent safety standards the addition of Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) redirects energy and provide more protection in certain impacts, boosting protection in the event of a crash. 

What is MIPS?

• MIPS is a Brain Protection System

• Rotational motion can cause brain injuries

• The low friction layer allows a sliding movement of 10–15 mm, in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain during impact

• MIPS adds protection

Cool and Comfortable

Thanks to the unique MIPS design Giro has been able to maintain unrestricted airflow inside the helmets despite the high degree of protection. 25 Wind Tunnel vents over the helmet, all leading to internal channelling, forces air across the scalp meaning you'll enjoy a cool head even in the warmest conditions or during the heat of a race. 

Roc-Loc® 5 fit system

The Roc-Loc® 5 fit system is an industry benchmark in comfort, stability, adjustability and weight savings. In addition to enhancing the fit and comfort of helmets, Roc Loc® 5 allows you to easily custom tune the fit tension and the fore-aft tilt of the helmet in seconds using a single hand. And it’s lighter than comparable systems too, making it the ultimate in skull-hugging luxury.

Giro Crash Replacement Scheme

If you have an accident in any helmet it's a good idea to replace it. Giro offers the peace of mind that if you have an accident wearing one of their helmets they will replace it at a reduced price. Find out more here.
