About this deal
The two-piece shell combines a tough outer hard shell with a polycarbonate lower shell permanently fused to the liner In the world of mountain biking, there are half-shell helmets, full-face helmets, and convertible helmets. Sitting somewhere in the middle of that triad is the brand new Giro Tyrant – a sort of not-quite-full-face-but-not-quite-half-shell helmet.

How well a helmet fits will depend on the size and shape of your head. Many people tend to get on with certain brands that use a particular shape, but finding the right one is very much a case of trial and error. The revolutionary Roc Loc® Air Fit System has the same outstanding features as the Roc Loc® 5, but in addition to that, it dramatically increases airflow and ventilation inside the helmet. The unique design creates a small air cushion between the helmet shell and the head, so that the wind can flow and cool without disturbing the ride without sacrificing fit and comfort. A new level of fit, comfort and ventilation that can only come from Giro. Racers are still racing, but so much of the real energy in mountain biking is now out playing in the woods – building the ultimate lines and sessioning the best parts,” said Giro Marketing Director Dain Zaffke. “Tyrant is made for riders who are more likely to be wearing jeans than a number, but are still pushing boundaries with their riding. We wanted to give them a helmet that matches their style but still delivers the latest evolution in protection.” This revolutionary fit system adds a new dimension to helmet performance by enhancing cooling, as well as fit comfortOverall, the shape isn’t unlike Giro’s Switchblade helmet with the chin bar removed. The Switchblade isn’t well known for being a light or breezy helmet though, so Giro have gone to some lengths to chisel off the grams and give the Tyrant decent ventilation. There are 14 vents in total, which includes the two horizontal vents over the ear-holes to prevent you from steaming up too much. Created for riders who don’t define themselves by one MTB discipline, the Tyrant MTB Helmet (MIPS) offers incredible levels of protection, amazing comfort and wraps it up in a distinctive design. Fully goggle compatible, it sets new standards for comfort, protection and multi-discipline performance.
