Versatile full-face helmet from Giro

After around eight years, the Remedy model has had its day - the Cipher full-face helmet is rolling onto the trails for the 2014 season. The helmet not only has a modern design, its inner values are also state-of-the-art. It is aimed at downhill bikers and enduro riders alike.

At 1180 grams, the new full-face helmet from Giro should be light enough not to be a burden on uphill sections. The numerous ventilation channels also ensure that the rider does not overheat. Channels at eyebrow level ride the air from the front to the back of the helmet to ensure a pleasant climate in the upper head.

The inner padding also has a new look, as it is now attached with clips rather than Velcro. To make it easier to remove the helmet from the head in the event of an accident and to prevent injuries to the spine, the pads are now easily removable.

The shell of the helmet is made of fiberglass and the interior is made of polystyrene - EPS for short. The padding is made of a material called X-Static, which has an antibacterial effect and prevents the helmet from becoming musty later or at all.

If you want to cycle with music, the Cipher makes it easy: pockets in the padding hold headphones, which are available from audio specialist Skullcandy. The head protection rolls onto the trail in eight different colors. The scope of delivery includes easy-to-attach mounts for a GoPro and Contour camera.
