Product Information

Full details

The Giro Radix MIPS Dirt Helmet is designed for trail riders who prioritize a balance of rugged durability and lightweight comfort. It features a sophisticated MIPS rotational protection system, an adjustable visor, and exceptional airflow for long days in the saddle; however, riders with rounder head shapes may find the fit requires careful adjustment of the retention system to avoid pressure points.

FAQs

What is MIPS?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is a slip-plane technology designed to reduce rotational forces that can be transferred to the brain during certain impacts.

Can I replace the visor?

Yes, the P.O.V. visor is designed to be adjustable and replaceable if damaged.

Is this helmet suitable for road cycling?

While it is designed for trail and dirt riding, its safety features make it compatible with road cycling, though it may provide more coverage and warmth than dedicated aero road helmets.

How do I know if the helmet is the right size?

The helmet should sit level on your forehead, approximately one inch above your eyebrows, and should not move excessively when you shake your head.

How often should I replace my helmet?

Giro recommends replacing your helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately following any significant impact.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels unstable or rocks back and forth

Adjust the vertical position of the Roc Loc 5.5 fit system at the rear and tighten the dial until secure.

Straps feel irritating against the skin

Ensure the strap splitters are positioned correctly under your earlobes and pull the excess strap material through the buckle to adjust tension.

Visibility is blocked by the visor

Rotate the P.O.V. visor upwards to its highest setting to increase your field of view.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ventilation keeps heads cool during strenuous climbs
  • Lightweight feel prevents neck fatigue on long rides
  • Highly adjustable fit accommodates various head shapes
  • Integrated MIPS technology provides an added layer of safety
  • Visor is durable and provides effective sun and trail debris protection

Cons

  • Internal padding may feel thin to some riders
  • Adjustment dials can be difficult to operate with thick gloves
  • Style is distinctly "trail" and may not suit road-specific aesthetics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the optimal fit, loosen the Roc Loc 5.5 dial before placing the helmet on your head. Once positioned, tighten the dial until the helmet feels secure but comfortable. The straps should sit just below the ears with no slack.

For cleaning, use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid using aggressive solvents, as these can damage the polycarbonate shell or compromise the integrity of the EPS liner. If the helmet is involved in a significant impact, it must be replaced, as internal EPS damage is often invisible to the eye. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
