The groundbreaking, truly innovative Spherical MIPS protection system was introduced with the Giro Aether road helmet. This incredible combination of helmet and safety design has been brought to the trails with the Manifest Spherical Helmet. MIPS Spherical was designed in the Dome, Giro’s in-house test lab in Scotts Valley, working directly with MIPS engineers in Stockholm, Sweden to ensure zero compromises in MIPS protection. The key to the system is the elimination of the plastic slip plane of the original MIPS design, and integrated the new system into the EPS sandwich. Packed with features, impressive quality, and pure functionality with industry leading ventilation and safety, the Manifest Spherical becomes the most desirable trail helmet on the market.

The Manifest Spherical combines an airy, open design with a revolution in rotational energy management to advance head protection for cyclists. Inside the shell, a dual-density EPS foam liner featuring lightweight, compact Nanobead foam technology helps to manage a wide range of high and low speed impact energies, while also boasting deep internal channeling to provide cooling airflow. Giro's proprietary MIPS Spherical technology is embedded between the dual layers of the EPS foam - instead of against the rider’s head - ensuring riders the full benefits of MIPS without any obstruction to comfort or cooling power while keeping weight low. On the exterior, a sleek 6-piece construction forms a stunning silhouette around the 19 impressive vents, which get added structural reinforcement via the translucent AURA bridge across the helmet. The final piece of the safety puzzle is fit, via the durable RocLoc Trail Air Fit system, which features three dimensional fit tuning, and allows easy micro-adjustment in seconds for the ultimate in comfort.

When you hold the Manifest Spherical, don't be alarmed, you can physically move the lower structure around the temples, a true sign of the Spherical's efficacy. It won't jiggle or wiggle as you ride. In an impact the exterior may be damaged, but the AURA and polycarbonate shell hold the assembly together which not only allows MIPS to do it's job of reducing the shearing forces, but also delivers continual safety to the skull. No one likes to consider this, but let's face it- a trail crash can result in sliding and or multiple impacts, even after the initial incident. The Manifest Spherical will continue to provide excellent protection throughout.... Read More
