Giro Synthe MIPS Helmet

The new 2015 Synthe MIPS is the pinnacle of road helmet design. All Giro helmets are designed to reduce as much energy as possible while meeting and exceeding stringent safety standards. The goal of Giroā€™s MIPS-equipped helmets is to reduce rotational forces. Giro believes that helmets equipped with this technology can reduce the amount of rotational force that may be transferred to riderā€™s brain in certain impacts. Learn more about MIPS in the video above.

The difference is clear in the wind tunnelā€”our extensive testing reveals that the Synthe is nearly as efficient as the fastest time trial helmets. But the Syntheā€™s greatest attributes are comfort and ventilation. At itā€™s heart youā€™ll find our Roc Loc Air fit system. Micro adjustments allow you to custom tune tension and fore-aft tilt with one hand and a patented design suspends the helmet over the top of the skull, allowing airflow to pass freely over your head. Cooling power is further boosted by elaborate internal channeling and a series of massive vents; the Synthe sets a new bar for ventilation
