Giro has built a reputation primarily for producing some of the best road helmets<\/a> and mountain bike helmets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So it might seem something of a departure for the Californian manufacturer to create a helmet aimed squarely at commuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new Giro Ethos MIPS on display at Eurobike 2022<\/a> brings plenty of performance features and technology to a helmet designed for commuting and urban riding. This includes optimised vent placement, internal channels to help with cooling and MIPS safety technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not all the Ethos brings, however. It also includes integrated lighting, with four light modes controlled wirelessly by a bar-mounted Bluetooth remote.<\/p>\n

Run times vary depending on mode, but Giro claims 11 hours on low blink mode (25 lumens front and 15 rear), 7.5 hours in high-blink (45l front, 30l rear) and in low solid mode 5.5 hours (25\/10 lumens). On high power and solid, Giro says it\u2019ll run for 2.5 hours. The helmet recharges from any Micro USB-C source.<\/p>\n

The on-bar remote also has indicator\/turn signal switches, which change the rear left and right lights to amber and flashing mode to indicate you\u2019re turning.<\/p>\n

The visibility features don\u2019t end there, with both reflective decals on the hardshell and a woven reflective strip running through the helmet straps.<\/p>\n

Styling-wise, the Ethos is intended to mix elements of urban and sport design. The standard Ethos has a subtle TPU soft rubber brim around the front. There is also a version of the Ethos with a shield visor.<\/p>\n

According to Giro, the Ethos MIPS is priced at $250 and the Ethos MIPS Shield $270. Global pricing is to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got an Ethos on the way, so you can expect a full review in the near future.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n
