description Giro Eclipse Spherical Overview
The Giro Eclipse Spherical is a road cycling helmet designed for race riders prioritizing safety and performance. Its notable feature is MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology which employs a low-friction layer to mitigate rotational forces experienced in angled impacts. This reduces potential brain injury risk, making it suitable for serious cyclists seeking enhanced protection during falls or crashes.
help Giro Eclipse Spherical FAQ
What is MIPS Spherical technology in the Giro Eclipse helmet?
MIPS Spherical is an advanced safety system that uses two layers of foam—a dense EPS outer layer and a softer EPP inner layer—that can rotate independently of each other during a crash. This ball-and-socket design redirects rotational impact forces away from the brain, offering superior protection compared to standard EPS foam.
Does the Giro Eclipse Spherical have adequate ventilation for hot summer rides?
Yes, the Eclipse features deep, heavily sculpted internal channeling combined with large front and rear vents to pull massive amounts of air across the rider's scalp. Giro designed this helmet specifically to prioritize cooling and aerodynamics for competitive road cyclists riding in intense summer heat.
How heavy is the Giro Eclipse Spherical helmet?
In size Medium, the Giro Eclipse Spherical weighs approximately 250 grams, placing it firmly in the lightweight category for road cycling helmets. While slightly heavier than Giro's ultra-light Vanquish model, it is barely noticeable on long climbs and contributes to its excellent structural safety.
Can I use the Giro Eclipse Spherical with the Giro universal LED tail light?
Yes, Giro designed the Eclipse Spherical with an integrated, friction-fit mount on the rear dial adjuster specifically for the Giro Numen+ Universal LED tail light. This allows you to easily snap the light on and off the helmet for added visibility during early morning or evening road rides.
