New Giro Synthe Helmet Available this Fall | Texas Cyclesport

25th Jun 2014

The Synthe™ is the pinnacle of road helmet design. It offers impressive cooling power, minimal weight, supreme fit and streamlined aerodynamic efficiency. It is a true synthesis of all features a modern rider wants in a high performance road racing helmet.

The difference is clear in the wind tunnel—our extensive testing reveals that the Synthe is nearly as efficient as the fastest time trial helmets. But the Synthe’s greatest attributes are comfort and ventilation. At it’s heart you’ll find our Roc Loc Air fit system. Micro adjustments allow you to custom tune tension and fore-aft tilt with one hand and a patented design suspends the helmet over the top of the skull, allowing airflow to pass freely over your head. Cooling power is further boosted by elaborate internal channeling and a series of massive vents; the Synthe sets a new bar for ventilation.

You no longer need to choose between aerodynamics and cooling power—with Synthe you get everything, all wrapped up in a compact and sleek silhouette.

Although the Synthe was just unveiled this week, the Internet is already abuzz with an overwhelming positive response.

Bikeradar.com says, “By our estimates, the new Synthe is easily 114-percent better looking with surprisingly classic, hairnet-like lines and a sleek, low-profile aesthetic that's not only inoffensive but actually manages to look good by drawing features from the Aeon, Air Attack and Aspect.”

Velonews.com reports, “The Synthe is unquestionably the most attractive aero road helmet on the market, mostly because it doesn’t look like an aero road helmet at all. It doesn’t look dorky; it doesn’t look like one of Batman’s accessories.”

Initial ride reports offered glowing accounts of comfort and ventilation too. Cyclingnews.com states, “Ventilation was also remarkably good with excellent flow-through and plenty of open ports for heat to escape when you're just sitting at a stoplight and sandwiched between the oppressive sun and hot tarmac.”
