The Giro Aries Spherical MIPS Road Cycling Helmet in the Visma Lease a Bike edition is a premium head protection solution engineered for cyclists who demand the highest levels of safety and performance. This helmet integrates advanced Spherical Technology, powered by MIPS, which allows the outer liner to rotate around the inner liner during an impact, effectively redirecting energy away from the brain. Its sleek, aerodynamic profile is complemented by a lightweight construction, ensuring that riders remain comfortable even during the most demanding long-distance road rides.

Advantages

The integration of the MIPS Spherical system offers a significant improvement over traditional helmet designs by managing both linear and rotational forces. Furthermore, the helmet features an optimized ventilation system that promotes consistent cooling, making it an ideal choice for high-intensity training sessions and competitive racing in various weather conditions.

How to use

To ensure maximum safety, place the helmet level on your head, ensuring it covers the forehead without obstructing your vision. Adjust the rear retention system until the fit is snug but comfortable. Fasten the chin strap so that it sits securely against the skin, allowing only enough space for one or two fingers between the strap and your chin. Always verify that the helmet does not shift significantly when you move your head before starting your ride.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your head circumference matches the size S range of 51-55 cm
• Ensure the helmet style aligns with your primary cycling discipline
• Check for compatibility with your preferred cycling eyewear

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of structural damage or wear. After any significant impact, the helmet must be replaced, even if no external damage is visible, as the internal protective layers may have been compromised. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain material integrity.
