Giro Helmets
Giro Montaro MIPS Helmet - Enduro World Series Collection
The search for a new bike helmet can be tricky, with hidden, unfamiliar terms like MIPS, EPS and Rotational Impact Protection used by brands.
What does it all mean, and why do we recommend Giro Helmets at Ivanhoe Cycles?
Let’s look at a few categories to explain the features and benefits.
GIRO YOUTH HELMETS
Childrens bike helmets need to built tough.
They tend to receive rougher handling, so the outer shell should be made of proven materials.
Also, as we know, a bicycle helmet for a growing youngster would be better value if it could grow as well. That’s why these are some options we’d recommend:
As well as being tough and adjustable from 50-57cm, the Tremor and Elixir have excellent coverage. The shell comes down deep on the cranium and temples, actually covering most of the head and not sitting “ontop” of the head. Lastly, both have In-Mold construction, offering improved safety and protection. Both are great product and excellent value.
GIRO RECREATIONAL HELMETS
Looking for a comfortable adult Giro bike helmet that’s safe and well ventilated?
The Giro Verce (adults/girls) and Giro Elixir (adults) are good options to consider.
Giro’s Verce is one-size and it’s adjustable from 50-57cm. The Elixir is bigger, with a range of 54-61cm. Note that Giro’s Fixture is the same helmet. For bigger heads, the Giro Fixture also comes in an XL (which is MUCH larger than most other brand’s XL helmets) and ranges from 58-65cm.
Both helmets use Giro’s super-adjustable RocLoc Sport system making it easy to fine tune the fitment.
GIRO MOUNTAIN BIKE HELMETS
You may wish to ride in a mtn bike helmet that keeps your head cool, or at least doesn’t make you feel like you’re in an oven. A top-quality open face bicycle helmet will have plenty of vents, designed to move air without slowing you down.

Giro has developed the Wind Tunnel Ventilation system to do just that. It’s brilliant, very comfortable and efficient. https://ivanhoecycles.com.au/products/giro-hex-mtb-helmet-blue-lime
Next, the shell should be a tough in-mould EPS (Expandable Polystyrene), which offers superior shock absorption, which means better protection for your skull essentially.
Your helmet needs to fit you perfectly and ideally be as light as possible. The Giro MTB Helmets have the Roc 5.0 MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System), which allows for precise fit and world-class, science-backed brain protection. Fantastic options in bike helmets.
For serious riders, who wear MTB goggles and require deeper coverage, the Giro Montaro MIPS will deliver.
Unbeatable value.
Giro has designed a female-specific helmet, with deep coverage for serious off-road riders which is the Giro Cartelle.
This model MTB helmet has a compact shape, is MIPS equipped, has an adjustable visor to allow for MTB goggles and is amazing value.
GIRO ROAD HELMETS
Giro is perhaps best known for its fantastic road bike helmets. Since 1985, the California company has been chosen by many of the leading Pro Tour race teams. It is perhaps the best-selling road cycling helmet worldwide, for many well-deserved reasons.
Unbeatable performance is a good start. They also look amazing. Eye-catching models like: https://ivanhoecycles.com.au/products/giro-foray-road-helmet-fluro-yellow
Comes with Roc Loc 5 for micro adjustability, In-Mold shell with EPS liner and 21 vents.
Then there’s a helmet that can be used for multi-surface riding, with deeper coverage, Roc Loc 5 MIPS, tough hardbody wrap, and it only weighs 300gms in Medium. Gravel and road riders take note of the Giro Agilis MIPS.
GIRO HELIOS PRO HELMET
Last, but definitely not least, the ultimate helmet for protection, safety, comfort, style and performance. Ideal for serious Gravel, Adventure and Road riders, or simply if you place a high value on protecting your brain, the Giro Helios offers a flawless premium solution.
