Giro Tyrant Spherical Dirt Mountain Bike Helmet

£149.99

The Giro Tyrant Spherical Dirt Mountain Bike Helmet is designed to meet the needs of today’s progressive trail riders. Equally at home on forest singletrack as it is at the skate park.

While the style is understated, Tyrant boasts countless under the hood tech breakthroughs including Wind Tunnel Ventilation and Spherical Technology which utilizes a ball-and-socket design, powered by MIPS, to redirect impact energy in a crash. The Tyrant also uses Progressive Layering: One layer is EPS, which is well suited to high-speed crashes. The other is a lower density EPP foam with rebound characteristics to address low-speed, roll-around-in-the- dirt-type spills. The added coverage of this “full cut” design further enhances protective capability, while taking helmet design in a new direction for riders seeking style over speed.

What is a MIPS helmet?

Let's start by clarifying the meaning of MIPS. MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. Developed and owned, by a Swedish company that licenses the system to cycle helmet manufacturers. MIPS technology is very popular with Manufacturers.

What does MIPS do?

A Standard bike helmet protects you via a polystyrene shell which absorbs force and breaks apart. In a MIPS helmet, there is a liner that is in contact with your head and will move independently from the outer shell when there is an impact. This allows some of the force of the impact to be absorbed before the polystyrene shell takes the hit and reduces the level of shock to the brain. MIPS works best in angled impacts which is how many real-world crashes happen. Traditionally helmets have been designed for direct, head-on, impacts. So it is argued that a helmet with MIPS provides a greater level of safety in real-world conditions.
