Product Information

Full details

The Giro Montaro II MIPS is a premier half-shell helmet designed for adult mountain bikers who require deep, confident coverage across technical terrain. It excels by integrating advanced rotational force protection with high-end cooling features, though users should note its 370g weight is slightly more substantial than minimalist cross-country alternatives. With features like full goggle compatibility and a breakaway camera mount, it provides a versatile solution for riders moving from long climbs to rowdy descents.

FAQs

What is MIPS and why is it important?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It is a slip-plane layer inside the helmet designed to rotate inside the helmet to help reduce rotational energy transferred to the brain during certain impacts.

Can I remove the visor?

Yes, the P.O.V. Plus visor is removable if you prefer a cleaner look or if your riding style does not require a visor.

Does this helmet work with prescription glasses?

The shell is designed with generous internal volume, which generally accommodates most styles of athletic glasses, but testing for your specific frame fit is recommended.

How often should I replace my helmet?

Giro recommends replacing your helmet every three to five years, or immediately after any significant impact, as the internal foam can be compromised even if no damage is visible.

Is the camera mount included?

The breakaway interface is integrated into the helmet design, providing a specific slot to attach your camera or light mount.

Troubleshooting

Visor feels loose or won't stay in position

Check the mounting screws on the side of the visor; they may need a slight adjustment or tightening to ensure the ratcheting mechanism engages properly.

Goggles slipping during a ride

Ensure the goggle strap is positioned correctly within the rear helmet grippers and that the strap tension is adequate.

Internal padding smells or feels saturated

Remove the Ionic+ padding and hand-wash it using a gentle sports detergent, then air dry completely before re-installing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent rotational protection with MIPS technology
  • Superior integration for goggles and action cameras
  • Highly adjustable fit system for personalized comfort
  • Effective ventilation design for hot weather rides

Cons

  • Slightly heavier than ultra-lightweight racing helmets
  • Fixed ventilation system cannot be adjusted manually
  • Matte finish requires occasional wiping to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum safety, adjust the Roc Loc 5 Air dial at the rear of the helmet until the fit is snug but comfortable against the circumference of your head. The side straps should form a 'Y' shape just below your ears with no slack.

Compatibility: This helmet is designed for use with most standard mountain bike goggles. Use the rear grippers to prevent the strap from slipping upward.

Care: The Ionic+ padding is removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the polycarbonate shell, as they can degrade the material. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the foam lining.
