About the Product
The compact form of the Synthe Mips slips through the air with ease across multiple yaw and head angles, and offers impressive cooling power. Key features include the Roc Loc Air fit system with 2-way fit tuning and Aero Mesh Panels with a dedicated port for securely docking sunglasses as you ride.
The Giro Aeon marks a new era in helmet design. Starting with a full roster of our best features, we optimized the design of every component in the helmet and even the shape of the helmet itself to reduce weight by 28% overall.

What customers say about "Features"
Giro Synthe Bike Helmet
  • Look pretty good. Latest safety system.
  • Well made. Very good ventilation for hard riding.
  • Good price for the features and general quality.
  • Very light, easy to adjust, fits well.
  • Very comfortable helmet. The fit is easily adjusted, even to my fairly large head.
Giro Aeon Road Cycling Helmet
  • The ventilation is unreal on this helmet, at least in my experience.
  • Wearing it for a couple of rides I find the wind easily brushes over you head through the helmet's many generous gaps.
  • It was comfortable and it also felt cool to wear both literally and figuratively.
  • The RocLoc 5 system is a vast improvement over the older systems. It lets you micro dial-in the tension adjustments.
  • Hitting downhill speed at 45mph and tucked, I noticed the airflow channeling effectively.
