Giro Athlon Bicycle Helmet
The Giro Athlon bicycle helmet is a high performance bicycle helmet designed for mountain bikers. Like its twin brother, the Giro Saros, it comes with all of the same features and benefits, plus one – Giro’s newly improved P.O.V. (Point of View) Visor, which adjusts on the fly, up or down 15º, without any of those annoying rattles heard from so many other MTB helmet visors when one blazes down a decent stretch of single track.
The Giro Athlon Bicycle Helmet offers:
- well vented, lightweight, highly protective helmet
- In-mold EPS interior shell fused to a thin polycarbonate outer shell
- Giro’s Roll Cage technology, which fuses a web of tough DuPont Nylon into the EPS foam liner
- 23 vents
- Wind Tunnel ventilation to guide the wind through a network of channels over the top of your head
- Giro’s improved P.O.V. Visor providing 15º of on-the-fly, rattle-free adjustment up or down
- Roc Loc 5 fit system that is micro-adjustable on fly via a single dial
- Giro’s Strap Lock Levers for perfect adjustment of the helmet strap in front and back of your ears
- Tremendously lightweight – 312 grams
- CPSC and CE EN1078 certification for bicycle helmets
The Giro Athlon comes with Giro’s Roll Cage technology, which adds a level of protection to your bicycle helmet that you’ll never know is there. Inside the Athlon’s EPS foam liner is a layer of DuPont Nylon that makes the EPS more durable and resistant to impact from a crash. You can’t see it, but it’s there… and it’ll work for you if you need it to. Add to the Roll Cage a wonderful P.O.V. Visor and the Athlon is set to provide you with quality head protection and creature comforts that you’ll appreciate for years to come.
