Giro Agilis MIPS helmet review

Giro's Angilis helmet has been designed for 'road and multi-terrain' riding - does that come with sacrifices?

Cycling Weekly Verdict

I can see the merit in a helmet like this if you're tackling the trails and want to know your helmet provides extra coverage in the event of a crash. However, for me the lack of breathability when pushing the pace was distracting.

Reasons to buy
  • +

    Extra safety for off-road rides

  • +

    Rounded front end profile

  • +

    Quality straps and fittings for the price

Reasons to avoid
  • -

    Not very breathable

Giro's Agilis helmet aims to bridge the gap between a standard road helmet, and a deeper mountain bike lid. The brand say it's been designed for 'road and multi-surface' riding; the former speaks for itself whilst the latter can mean anything from light gravel paths to fairly technical trails depending upon where you live and how much you're prepared to tackle.

The brand has merged the round front end you'd find on the likes of the Synthe road helmet, with a lower rear profile normally seen on mountain bike models such as the Radix.
