FAQs

What is the difference between standard Mips and Spherical Mips?

Standard Mips uses a plastic slip-plane inside the helmet, whereas Spherical Mips uses two independent foam liners that move like a ball-and-socket joint, offering better comfort and ventilation.

Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?

While it can be used for light gravel riding, it is designed specifically for road and performance cycling and does not provide the extended rear coverage required for aggressive mountain biking.

How often should I replace the helmet?

Giro recommends replacing any helmet after a significant impact, or every 3 to 5 years even without a crash due to natural material degradation.

Can I replace the internal pads?

Yes, the antimicrobial padding is removable and replaceable if it becomes worn or too compressed over time.

Does this helmet come with a visor?

No, the Helios is a pure road-style helmet and does not include a visor.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose even when tightened

Ensure the Roc Loc 5 Air dial is fully engaged and check that the internal padding is correctly snapped into the shell.

Straps are twisting or uncomfortable

Adjust the tri-glide strap dividers under the ears to ensure the webbing sits flat against the side of your face.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Advanced rotational impact protection via Mips Spherical
  • Excellent ventilation for hot climate cycling
  • Highly adjustable and stable fit system
  • Lightweight construction suitable for long endurance rides

Cons

  • Higher price point than standard EPS helmets
  • Fewer color options compared to entry-level models
  • Not intended for full-face MTB protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the perfect fit, start by loosening the Roc Loc 5 Air dial at the back of the helmet. Place the helmet level on your head, ensuring it covers your forehead. Tighten the dial until it is snug but comfortable, then adjust the side strap dividers so they sit just below your ears. The chin strap should allow enough room for two fingers between the strap and your chin. To care for the helmet, hand wash the pads in mild soap and water and allow them to air dry completely. Never expose the helmet to harsh chemicals or extreme heat sources, as this can degrade the EPS foam structural integrity.
