| February 6, 2012

When looking to purchase a high performance helmet for mountain biking, appear no further than the Giro Indicator Helmet. Not merely is protecting your noggin a high priority, but doing so in an appealing and well ventilated should be too. Giro has engineered this mountain bike helmet with you, the rider in mind. If you take this out and take your to begin with glance at it, you are going to notice the Acu Dial FIT system and also the EPS liner with polycarbonate shell. Not simply that, but you may also see that the visor snaps on for mountain bike use and can be pulled off for use other than riding the trails. Right after placing this helmet on your head and riding with it for the very first time, in particular on a hot and humid day, the twenty vents that are strategically placed into this product are there to keep your head cool on those nasty summer days.

I personally own a Giro helmet as well as though I do not own this one, I can see that this item is produced towards the identical standards as the Giro Atmos helmet that I own. If I purchase a Giro helmet within the future I will unquestionably be purchasing a Giro helmet, on account of the way these helmets are constructed, the style of them and that they’re incredibly comfortable. When I’m out mountain biking and also cycling, it really is really often that I see other riders wearing helmets produced by Giro. Not just do several of my friends and other people that I see own a Giro helmet, but there are plenty of pro cyclists, pro mountain bikers and pro triathletes that opt for to wear this brand and you’ll be able to too!

A Review Of The Popular Giro Monza Cycling Helmet

| September 27, 2011

The Giro Monza is another mid-price range helmet from Giro which features cutting-edge road-helmet technology at a price that any self-respecting cyclist is going to find accessible. Stylingwise, it’s a little sharper and racier than its stablemate the Giro Saros, although carrying many of the same features. Although it would not look out of place at all in town, the styling is definitely “road”.

It’s possibly the case that some people new to the world of cycling feel that they do not need a helmet – “I only ride a little, I don’t need one”. Ironically, the need is probably greatest for the inexperienced. In our opinion a helmet is always to be advised. Why choose a Monza?

Advanced in-mould manufacturing techniques bond the inner polystyrene body to the polycarbonate outer shell in one step as the helmet is moulded. The area around the vents and ribs is reinforced for greater impact resistance and shock absorption.

Consequently, 24 large vents and internal ventilation channels can be designed in, maximising the cooling airflow. The efficient ventilation is one of the features most complimented by users in their reviews. At only 256 grams the Monza is also comfortable to wear.

There’s a small criticism quoted by some, that the front vents do not have netting, as some models do, to keep out insects.

Three sizes are available:Small (51-55cm), Medium (55-59cm) and Large (59-63cm). Fine adjustment is by use of the Coolmax adhesive pads supplied, and finally with Giro’s RocLoc system. This is a way of tightening the internal straps with a dial fitted to the rear of the helmet. This is great, as you can adjust the size to accommodate a hat in the winter without extensive modifications.

Four colours are available; black, blue, titanium and white.

The Giro Monza is in accordance with CE EN1078 standards, so you can rest assured of the best protection.

So if you’re into doing your cycling on the road, the Monza has been designed with you in mind. But for fast street riding on the commute to work, it’s excellent as well.  This helmet looks smart and performs well, so anyone can be comfortable wearing one.
