Giro Bicycle Helmet Line Up

As a company, Giro manufactures the most comprehensive line of bike helmets available today. Generally speaking, Giro offers helmets in six different categories:

Road– for road racers, triathletes, and serious cyclists Mountain bike– for cross-country, all-mountain, and recreational mountain biking Full-face– for downhill, 4X/Dual Slalom, and freeride mountain biking BMX– for BMX, dirt jumping, trick riding, and urban cruising Recreational– similar to road racing helmets, but at lower price points Youth– for kids ages 1-10

XSportsProtective stocks the following Giro cycling helmets:

Giro Road Bike Helmets

This is the proving ground for advances in bicycle helmet technology. As such, Giro road bike helmets are, for the most part, at the vanguard of head protection science and at the top end of price point. Giro road bike helmets include:

Giro Mountain Biking Helmets

Giro mountain biking helmets have evolved over time from their Road counterparts but employ many of the advances in road helmet technology. However, mountain bike helmet shapes and features are a bit different than those of road helmets to accommodate the different needs of mountain bikers. Giro mountain biking helmets include:
  • Giro Athlon– very lightweight, well vented, designed for cross-country MTB
  • Giro Hex– lightweight, well vented, designed for more general MTB riding
  • Giro Phase– well vented, more general MTB riding, without latest Giro features

Giro Fullface Bike Helmets

This is the most specific category of Giro bicycle helmets. Fullface bike helmets need to be worn by mountain bikers who participate in downhill, 4X/Dual Slalom, and freeride trick jumping. Due to the nature of their design, Giro fullface bicycle helmets are the most protective helmets in the Giro bicycle helmet line. XSportsProtective carries two Giro fullface mountain biking helmets:
  • Giro Remedy CF– extremely lightweight and strong due to its carbon fiber hardshell
  • Giro Remedy– similar in strength to the Remedy CF only not as lightweight

Giro BMX Bike Helmets

The BMX helmet category includes what are often skidlid helmets. BMX’ers, dirt jumpers, and half pipe trick riders don’t need helmets that are tremendously well vented because they don’t typically ride at threshold heart rates for extended periods of time. These riders tend to wipe out frequently but at low impact speeds, so BMX’ers need helmets that provide excellent head protection with a high degree of durability. The answer? An EPS foam liner like a road helmet, but with a thick, durable ABS plastic or polycarbonate exterior hardshell that can deflect multiple low-energy impacts. Giro BMX helmets include:

Giro Commuter Bike Helmets/Recreational Bike Helmets

The helmets in this category are similar in style to Giro road bike helmets and pass the same tests for head protection certification. However, they do so without all of the latest advances in lightness, venting, and features. That also means they’re comparatively less expensive. Excellent for recreational cyclists and commuters, Giro commuter bike helmets include:
  • Giro Rift– well vented, lightweight, universal fit
  • Giro Indicator– not as many vents as the Stylus or Rift, universal fit
  • Giro Skyla – same as the Indicator, but styled for women
  • Giro Venti – same as the Indicator, only for extra large heads

Giro Youth Bicycle Helmets

Giro youth bicycle helmets offer the same level of protection as recreational Giro bicycle helmets but in a size and weight for active kids. XSportsProtective carries:
  • Giro Flume– lightweight, vented, universal fit up to 57 cm head circumference

Giro bicycle helmets – the marriage of fit, form and function

Giro’s Super Fit engineering process is the foundation of every Giro helmet—bicycle helmet, ski helmet, or snowboard helmet. Every model is scaled and shaped for its intended wearer using a database of cranial measurements and rider input compiled from hundreds of people large and small, young and old, from around the world. Conceptually speaking, this means that if there is a perfect fitting bicycle helmet out there made specifically for you, it’s most likely a Giro helmet.

The breadth of the Giro bicycle helmet lineup speaks to the commitment Giro has made to outfit each and every cyclist with a level of head protection unsurpassed by any other manufacturer in the business today. With more than 20 different models in the Giro bike helmet lineup, you are practically guaranteed to find a Giro bicycle helmet that will fit you perfectly – man or woman, adult or child.

No matter if you’re a road rider, a mountain biker, a cyclocrosser, a BMX’er, a trackie, a triathlete, or a commuter, chances are you’ll find a Giro bicycle helmet that fits your head and your style.

Giro Helmets – maker of the world’s finest bicycle helmets

Giro, based in Scotts Valley, CA, is a worldwide leader in the design, development and marketing of premium, high-performance protective gear and accessories for action sports and active lifestyles. Since 1985, Giro has been at the vanguard of helmet design and protection. Helmet technology has improved steadily since the mid-1980s.

Ski racing helmets and bicycling helmets used to be clunky things that were heavy and poor fitting because helmet construction technology lagged significantly behind the science of head protection. Thus the cyclist or skier who wanted head protection was limited to heavy motorcycle-like helmets with little or no vents. Then in 1984 came a new protective standard, ASTM F2040, and an ingenious designer by the name of Jim Gentes who had a vision to create lightweight, well-vented yet highly protective headgear that could achieve this new ASTM F2040 standard.

Gentes founded Giro Sport Design in 1985 and introduced the first Giro bicycle helmet to market in 1986, an oversized, expanded polystyrene (EPS) bicycle helmet that came with interchangeable bright-colored Lycra cloth helmet covers. Because it had no hard shell, this new Giro cycling helmet was incredibly lightweight. It was also extremely well vented. And with the interchangeable covers, Giro brought style into the mix. One day you could ride wearing a red Giro helmet, the next day you could wear a blue one. Over the next two decades, Giro continued to advance its bicycle helmet designs. Giro was able to apply much of its experience in constructing bicycle helmets to manufacturing ski helmets and snowboard helmets. With more units sold than any other manufacturer, Giro is quite simply the leader in the development of protective gear for your head.
