Giro Aries Spherical Helmet for Cyclists

Introducing the all-new Aries Spherical helmet, a revolutionary advancement that feels almost invisible when worn. Its impressive design is not only sleek but also remarkably lightweight, weighing just 270 grams (medium size, CE certified). This cutting-edge helmet offers an unparalleled sense of comfort and exceptional cooling capabilities.

At the heart of its innovative construction lies Spherical Technology, a ball-and-socket design enhanced by Mips technology. This advanced engineering is specifically designed to redirect impact energy away from the head during certain collisions, providing an extra layer of protection. Additionally, the helmet incorporates Progressive Layering, which utilizes dual densities of Nanobead EPS foam. This combination ensures a comprehensive approach to energy management during impacts.

The Aries Spherical is equipped with 24 strategically placed Wind Tunnel vents, optimized by the proprietary AURA II Reinforcement Arch. This not only maximizes airflow but also significantly boosts the cooling effect. A plush DryCore brow pad works to manage sweat efficiently while a sophisticated internal channeling system furthers comfort by ensuring effective airflow throughout the helmet.

Reliability and adjustability are guaranteed through the Roc Loc 5+ Air fit system, which allows for a secure fit. The full lower hardbody coverage enhances the helmet’s durability, ensuring it withstands the rigors of cycling. With meticulous attention to quality in its production, the Aries Spherical redefines the benchmarks for performance, protection, and style in cycling helmets.

One of the standout features of the Aries is the structural integrity provided by the AURA II Reinforcement Arch. These twin, translucent arches are not only shatter-resistant but also lightweight, allowing for exceptional structural strength without the unnecessary addition of bulk. Remarkably, the Aries boasts an ultra-low weight that is approximately 5% lighter than the Aether model, paired with impressive cooling capabilities and a streamlined profile—attributes made possible by this innovative reinforcement.

Spherical Technology truly enhances user experience; the unique ball-and-socket design actively redirects impact forces while also improving comfort and airflow. The combination of Progressive Layering in the helmet—integrating two distinct densities of EPS foam—enables it to manage a wider range of impact energies effectively. Consequently, independent testing by Virginia Tech has rated the Aries Spherical as the number one helmet in reducing the risk of head injuries.

In terms of comfort, the Aries helmet employs deep internal channels that interconnect with its extensive front and rear venting systems. This innovative setup creates a pathway for cool air to flow across the rider's scalp and exit through the back, efficiently removing excess heat. The newly introduced DryCore sweat management system features a soft, silicone bead integrated into the plush brow pad, which effectively redirects sweat away from the forehead to the temples for faster evaporation.

When speed is of the essence, smaller frontal surface areas play a crucial role in minimizing drag. The design of the Aries helmet prioritizes reducing this surface area, eliminating unnecessary wind resistance. With careful consideration of details such as chamfered edges on the AURA II and precisely engineered internal channels that accelerate exiting air, the Aries proves to be a climbing helmet that merges speed with performance, achieving a 4% reduction in aerodynamic drag compared to the Aether Spherical.

In summary, the Aries Spherical helmet embodies a blend of lightweight construction, superior cooling, sleek design, and enhanced safety features, all made possible through MIPS-powered spherical technology and the innovative DryCore Sweat Management System. It's truly a helmet like none before.
