101SCC Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Was wondering what lids the Giro guys had on the mountain stages, follow the link to se this piece of lightweight art. Lightest Helmet ever made! http://www.velonews.com/photo/95224
Christie Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I'm not crazy about its looks - Ionos looks nicer imo., with bigger vents. LA wore a the new Giro helmet (done in yellow for him) only once, then reverted back to Ionos. Perhaps he did not like it? Conto rode most of the race with the new one...
Absalon Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Agreed, Ionos looks much better. The pro light looks really cheap
Rocket-Boy Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I wonder how well it will protect your noggin in a fall? I wouldnt sacrifice funtion for weight in the helmet division.
101SCC Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 The riders where given them to ride in the mountains, Sanchez won his stage with the New Helmet. Smaller Vents but better airflow. The Atmos and Ionis never fitted my head so I moved over to a 2D Specialized...hopefully now I can go back to a Giro.
linnega Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Its for road racing - its primary functions in order are comply with UCI rules, be lightweight, be well vented.
