GIRO SYNTAX MIPS AF | A versatile cycling helmet with a comfortable Asian fit
A well-balanced, classic helmet for road, gravel, and city riding, designed to fit Japanese heads.
GIRO's popular "SYNTAX MIPS AF" model is widely compatible, from sports rides to everyday cycling.
It offers both a slightly deeper fit and a compact silhouette, making it suitable not only for road bikes but also for gravel bikes, cross bikes, and even urban riding styles.
