Two additions were made to the Lance Armstrong Collection for The Giro Ionos Helmet. The new models come in matte red and titanium colorway and a matte yellow and black colorway with Lance Armstrong’s signature on the helmets.

They feature Giro’s new RocLoc 5 retention system which has a micro-adjusting dial which is easy to use. A simple twist of the dial opens the retention system of the helmet. It also has ergonomic arms to accommodate Giro eyewear, and a 15mm vertical bracket which you can adjust without removing your helmet.

Other features of Giro Ionos are retained like the In-Mold Composite frame, 21 air vents, X-Static helmet padding and super fit engineering. The two new helmets are available in small, medium and large sizes. The Giro Ionos Lance Edition helmets retails at £169.99.

Evolving from the Xen, Giro releases a new helmet, the Xar. Taking characteristics from the Xen and Hex, the Giro Xar Helmet features 17 wind tunnel designed vents, plus internal channels which steers the airflow and X-Static antimicrobial pads. Also added is the Roc Loc 5 retention system.

What did Giro have to say about the new Xar Helmet: “Just as riding styles and bikes have evolved, so must the helmet. The new Xar, inspired by the Xen, but designed to meet the performance needs of today’s progressive all- mountain rider.”

With over 2 years of perfecting and developing, the Roc Loc 5 is here. Roc Loc 5 will dial in fit tension and adjust vertical positioning with ease. All you have to do is twist the dial for a tight feel, and vice versa to loosen. Releasing February 2011, with a retail price of…

Giro recently made a time trial helmet especially for Lance Armstrong which he wore on the 2010 Tour de France prologue. Named “LAX”, the TT helmet works to give Armstrong two to three second-advantage over his rivals.

One can say that the helmet proved to be an advantage since Armstrong finished fourth on the event. However, it is unlikely that Giro will create the “LAX” for commercial use since the helmet basically works for Armstrong because it was designed specifically for him.

Giro shared that it took several months to conceptualize and actualize the helmet’s design. This was also due to the fact that Armstrong was literally hard to get hold of because of his busy schedule. The only way to get around this challenge was to create a replica of the cyclist which cost $15,000.00. The testing of the helmet was done on this model of Armstrong.

A helmet is intended to be worn when you are on the road riding a motorcycle or a bicycle so as to protect you from impacts to the skull in case you fall, thereby minimizing the dangers that might result. But when you do casual biking, do you think you still need to wear one? Absolutely, yes. If you find it an uninteresting stuff, find a helmet that makes you feel that you are not wearing a helmet at all like Giro Advantage 2 Bike Helmet.
