Our take on the Syntax MIPS

The Giro Syntax MIPS is a slim road and commuter helmet with a two-piece In-Mold shell, a polycarbonate lower wrap and an integrated MIPS liner that reduces rotational forces in angled impacts. Its Roc Loc 5 Air MIPS cradle floats slightly off the skull, channels air over the head and adjusts tension and fore-aft tilt with one hand. Wind Tunnel vents and internal exhaust channels move heat out, and Ionic+ padding with silver fights odor. It suits riders who want a low-profile, well-ventilated helmet with rotational protection without stepping up to a race shell.

About the Syntax MIPS

The Giro Syntax MIPS is a bike helmet with a slim profile and slightly deeper coverage. It has a two-piece hardshell: a tough polycarbonate outer shell and a polycarbonate lower shell (In-Mold Hardbody lower wrap), both permanently fused to the EPS foam liner using Giro's In-Mold construction. This keeps the build durable and lightweight without excess bulk.

The MIPS brain protection system reduces rotational forces that may be transferred to the brain during certain impacts. The Roc Loc 5 Air MIPS fit system suspends the helmet slightly off the skull so air flows over the head. It adjusts with one hand, for both fit tension and fore-aft tilt.

Wind Tunnel ventilation uses active vents and internal exhaust channels to move cool air in and push heat out. The Ionic+ padding uses Pure Silver technology for permanent odor protection.

Questions and answers

What does MIPS add over a standard helmet?
The integrated MIPS liner lets the shell rotate slightly against the head in an angled impact, which Giro says reduces rotational forces transferred to the brain. It is built into the helmet rather than added as a separate layer.
How does the Roc Loc 5 Air MIPS fit system work?
A dial at the back tightens and loosens the cradle with one hand, and the same system sets fore-aft tilt. The cradle suspends the helmet slightly off the skull so air flows over the head.
Is the Syntax MIPS good for road riding or commuting?
Both. The slim shell, deep rear coverage and Wind Tunnel vents suit road and fitness riding, and the odor-resistant padding helps on daily commutes.
How does it compare with Giro's race helmets?
The Syntax is a lower-profile all-round helmet rather than a stripped race shell. It keeps MIPS, the Roc Loc 5 Air cradle and full venting but carries a bit more material and weight than Giro's top race models.
What is in the box?
The helmet with its Ionic+ padding and Roc Loc 5 Air MIPS fit system installed. Check the listing for any included carry bag or spare pads.
Where is the Syntax MIPS cheapest?
At Sports Basement, for $159.95, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Syntax MIPS?
