description Giro Aether Spherical Overview

The Giro Aether Spherical helmet is a road cycling helmet designed for safety and performance. It incorporates MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology which features a spherical design to reduce rotational forces upon angled impacts. This system helps mitigate concussions and other brain injuries, making it suitable for serious cyclists including recreational riders and professional racers seeking advanced head protection.

help Giro Aether Spherical FAQ

How does the MIPS system work in the Giro Aether Spherical helmet?

Instead of a standard plastic MIPS liner, the Ather uses "Spherical Technology" powered by MIPS, which consists of two layers of EPS foam that rotate around each other. This design redirects rotational forces during angled impacts without the need for the traditional yellow inner liner.

Does the Giro Aether Spherical have good ventilation for hot weather riding?

Yes, the helmet features the Roc Loc 5 Air fit system and massive, deep internal channels that pull air through the front and exhaust it out the back. This design provides excellent airflow, making it a highly popular choice for summer road cycling.

Is the Giro Aether Spherical certified for e-bike use?

While it exceeds standard US CPSC Safety Standards for cycling helmets, it is designed primarily as a lightweight road cycling helmet. E-bike-specific helmets often have a thicker foam density (like the NTA-8776 standard), which the Aether does not explicitly feature.

What is the weight of the Giro Aether Spherical helmet?

The Aether Spherical is remarkably lightweight for a helmet with dual-density foam, weighing around 260 grams for a size Medium. This low weight helps reduce neck fatigue during long, multi-hour rides.
