Product Review: Giro Aeon, Team Edition

Bryan — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 20:54:08 +0000

As a team, we’ve been fortunate to ride Giro helmets for almost 10 years. Giro is the industry standard in form and function when it comes to protecting your head on the bicycle. After spending a few weeks riding the new Giro Aeon, we think they have dramatically improved their already fantastic helmet designs. In our opinion, the Aeon is not a completely redesigned and new helmet, but instead a vastly improved version of Giro’s hugely popular Ionos. If you loved the Ionos, you’re going to be in heaven wearing the Aeon.

Ryder Hesjedal with the Giro Aeon, Stage 7, 2011 Tour of California:

The Aeon has all the best features that the Ionos did (good fit, great airflow, great looks), but has lost nearly 100 grams in weight, and includes Giro’s new Roc Loc 5 retention system. You might think that saving weight in your helmet isn’t at all necessary, but we think you’ll be surprised the first time you ride with the new Aeon. If you have any doubt that saving 100 grams in your helmet is worthwhile, go ahead and purchase this helmet from the official team shop. When you get it home, unpack it, adjust it properly to fit your head, then put your old helmet back on. If you don’t want to save the 100 grams and keep the new Aeon, we’ll send you a return tag and refund you in full!

Coupled with the weight savings in the Aeon, Giro has also vastly improved their Roc Loc retention system. The new Roc Loc 5 gives you the ability to adjust the fit both fore and aft, as well as increasing or reducing the helmets diameter to fit your head shape perfectly. Although the Giro Prolight helmet is still lighter than the Aeon, the Roc Loc 5 gives the Aeon the advantage for us. Have questions about this review? Leave a comment and we’ll get back to you right away!

On this ride, our eyes were bigger than our legs. We had one too many “little” hills on the way home, but once we made it home it was all worth it!

Shop Ride: Buffalo Creek MTB in the Snow

Bryan — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 14:10:57 +0000

You never know what you’re going to get in the Rocky’s during the spring. One day it might be 65 and sunny, and the next day it could snow an inch or two in an hour. Thankfully we had some warm riding apparel, and the snow made the trails super tacky!
