New Giro MIPS Helmet: The Montaro & Montara

A new helmet option for you, just in case your old one is dented or hugely unfashionable this month. It looks to us like a Poc influenced Giro Xen, but with MIPS inside – all positive attributes as far as we are concerned but we’ll let you know more when we actually get hold of one for proper testing.

Here’s some bullet points from the promo blurb we have here.

• Montaro MIPS for men and Montara MIPS for women.
• Maximum ventilation concept featuring Roc Loc Air system
• Superior sweat management with hydrophilic pads that absorb ten times more sweat
• Full goggle integration with P.O.V. Plus visor, as well as a GoPro/headlight mount

They’ve even published a handy promo video to go with the launch.

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
