Giro Athlon Helmets

The Athlon was developed with a single purpose in mind—XC racing. This helmet combines 23 generous Wind Tunnel™ vents plus smooth style, a compact shape, minimal weight, and an updated, low profile P.O.V.™ visor. You’re not going to find a better performing, more comfortable, competition-specific MTB helmet. The Athlon will keep you on top, whether it’s a world cup XC, a 24-hour race, a local short track or a high speed Super D. At the very least, you’ll look good trying.

Giro helmets are developed utilizing our proprietary Wind Tunnel™ ventilation system, which combines active vents with internal exhaust channels that thrust cool, fresh air over and around the riders head-while forcing heat and stale air out. This significant increase in air channeling makes a difference that riders will immediately feel and appreciate.

Our in-mold construction process fuses the helmet’s outer shell with its impact-absorbing EPS liner during the molding process, making the liner literally a part of the helmet. This fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, creating a one-piece ‘exoskeleton’ that allows the helmet to be lighter, more durable, and better ventilated than traditional design
