I got a pair of the discontinued color/size on sale. These would have been worth the money even if they weren't on sale. I have a wider foot and these are very comfortable. Shimano build quality never disappoints. These have holes for both two-bolt and three-bolt cleats. I use them on SPD pedals. Note that the profile using SPD is pretty high - the holes are not recessed because of the shoes also have three-bolt compatibility. Got a pair of SPD cleat covers to address this issue when walking. Very glad I bought these.
I wont speak to its aero advantage bc that needs to be tested in a wind tunnel on a specific rider. However, my last three triathlons with this helmet have corresponded with some of my top bike performances relative to competitors.
Yes, its a crazy looking thing like something out of "space balls."
The surprising thing to me is how comfortable it is. Well balanced. Ventilation is excellent, even with the vents covered. Visibility is excellent. It comes with two visors - a clear and a dark one. And of course a big case to carry it and both visors in.
I recently purchased a matte black Giro bicycle helmet, and I'm absolutely thrilled with it! The sleek, minimalist design looks sharp and modern, making it a standout on the road. The fit is spot-on, with Giro's adjustable ROC LOC system providing a secure, comfortable feel without any pressure points, even on long rides. It's lightweight yet feels incredibly sturdy, offering peace of mind with its top-notch safety features. The ventilation is fantastic'plenty of airflow to keep me cool during intense rides. The matte finish is not only stylish, but also resists scratches and smudges. Whether you're a casual rider or a serious cyclist, this Giro helmet is a perfect blend of form, function, and safety. Highly recommend!
I have to respectfully disagree with the person who said these run very small (at least in the small/medium range). My measurements are 12" at largest point of my massive biceps, my wrists are 7". Right between small and medium.
I've owned these in medium and gave them away because they seemed a little loose for my taste and seemed to be a little baggy/wrinkled at times.
I now own them in small and they fit perfectly for what I want. You have to fiddle with them to get them on but they aren't tight but they aren't wrinkled either.
