Giant isn’t launching its new high-performance helmet range for a few weeks but two of the new models were on display at the Taipei Cycle Show. We got up close and personal with the aero road and trail helmets, and both look very promising. Given Giant’s knack for offering excellent value across the board, we anticipate the pricing to be good, too.
BIkeRadar first spotted these helmets at the 2015 Tour Down Under, along with prototype Bontrager aero helmets.
Like many other aero road helmets, Giant’s version features a close-fitting profile with a dramatically cropped and rounded tail so as not to act like an air brake in the wind. Although the exterior of the helmet’s midsection is left solid to minimize drag, there are huge vents at the very front and rear. Also visible are big cutouts in between the helmet and the rider’s forehead – which will hopefully cut down on sweat dripping into sunglass lenses – and deep internal channeling, all of which bodes well for ventilation.

Giant's new aero road helmet sports a very trim profile
Out back is a height-adjustable retention system with a simple indexing knob to set the circumference while the notably thin straps feature fixed splitters that simplify the fit and minimize bulk around the ears.
