Giro Athlon Helmet

The Athlon was developed with a single purpose in mind—XC racing. This helmet combines 23 generous Wind Tunnel™ vents plus smooth style, a compact shape, minimal weight, and an updated, low profile P.O.V.™ visor.

You’re not going to find a better performing, more comfortable, competition-specific MTB helmet.

The Athlon will keep you on top, whether it’s a world cup XC, a 24-hour race, a local short track or a high speed Super D. At the very least, you’ll look good trying.


Features:

- Suggested Use: MTB XC Race, MTB Endurance/Marathon, MTB Trail Ride

- Updated low-profile P.O.V.™ adjustable visor w/ 15° vertical adjustment


Technology:

IN-MOLD CONSTRUCTION In-mold construction fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell with the helmet’s impact-absorbing foam liner. The fusion process allows us to sculpt better ventilation systems, so In-mold helmets can be lighter and cooler than traditional helmets.

WIND TUNNEL™ VENTILATION Giro helmets are developed utilizing our proprietary Wind Tunnel™ ventilation system, which combines active vents with internal exhaust channels that thrust cool, fresh air over and around the riders head-while forcing heat and stale air out. This significant increase in air channeling makes a difference that riders will immediately feel and appreciate.

P.O.V.™ VISOR Point Of View visors are anchored by a patented internal clutch mechanism that allows 15-degrees of tool-free, on-the-fly vertical adjustment while preventing the visor from rattling and coming loose over rough and technical terrain.

ROLL CAGE ™ Roll Cage reinforcement is a tough web of DuPont ® Nylon® molded inside a helmet’s EPS foam liner. It provides an extra measure of strength and integrity that you’ll never notice…unless you need it.

SUPER FIT™ ENGINEERING FOR BIKE HELMET A great helmet is so comfortable that once it’s on, it virtually disappears. Our proprietary three-size Super Fit system is based on “human scale factors” data and over 20 years of crafting helmets for the best bike riders in the world. The result is pure Skull Hugging Luxury™, a helmet that fits 98% of the world’s population, yet looks (and fits) like it was custom made just for you.

ROC LOC® 5

After more than two-years of development, Giro introduces Roc Loc 5. This groundbreaking fit system provides an entirely unique user experience with an unmatched level of comfort, stability, adjustability and weight savings. With Roc Loc 5, you can easily dial-in both fit tension and adjust vertical position with a single hand.

Just twist the dial for a tighter feel on rough terrain, then back it off a notch and relax across the flats or a warm climb. Even with these remarkable features, Roc Loc 5 is still nearly 40-percent lighter than its popular predecessor, Roc Loc 4.

Micro Dial: The heart of Roc Loc 5 is this ratcheting, micro-adjusting dial. A simple, two-finger twist of the Micro Dial opens or closes the retention system and each click is audible.
