Giant has released a new Rev Elite MIPS helmet, which combines a five-star safety rating with low weight.<\/p>

The new Rev Elite slots in between the range-topping Rev Pro MIPS and entry-level Rev MIPS in the Taiwanese brand\u2019s line of road bike helmets<\/a>.<\/p>

Giant says the well-ventilated and comfortable Rev Elite suits \u201cperformance-minded\u201d road, gravel and XC riders.\u00a0<\/p>

The Rev Elite MIPS costs \u00a3129.99 \/ \u20ac170 and comes in black, white and silver, navy and grey.\u00a0<\/p>

Maximum protection, minimum weight\u00a0<\/h3>

The Giant Rev Pro MIPS, which is used by Team Jayco-AlUla, inspires the sleek design of the cheaper Rev Elite MIPS.<\/p>

With 18 ventilation channels in a fairly compact helmet, the Rev Elite MIPS is a far cry from the super-sized lids<\/a> and aero helmets<\/a> we\u2019ve seen ridden in the WorldTour<\/a> this season.\u00a0<\/p>

Giant says the sub-polycarbonate shell and dual-density EPS foam provide maximum protection for minimum weight.\u00a0<\/p>

The Rev Elite MIPS has a five-star rating (the highest available) from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab<\/a>. Giant claims it weighs 280g in size medium.\u00a0<\/p>

Giant says the helmet\u2019s integrated MIPS<\/a> Evolve Core layer protects the head from rotational forces during angled impacts.\u00a0<\/p>

Meanwhile, reflective panels on the back of the helmet help ensure you’re seen on the road, according to the brand.\u00a0<\/p>

Two padding depths\u00a0<\/h2>

The Rev Elite MIPS incorporates a four-position rear height-adjustment system and 2mm- or 6mm-deep padding to help you find the perfect fit, according to Giant.<\/p>

Available sizes in the Western (oval head form) are S (51-55cm), M (55-59cm) and L (59-63cm). In the Asian (round head form), the sizes are S (51-57cm), M (55-59cm) and L (59-61cm).<\/p>

Giant says it has made the Western shape slightly rounder to fit a wider range of head shapes. <\/p>

In addition to 18 sizeable vents, Giant claims the silver-fibre Ionic padding conducts and reflects body heat to keep you cool.\u00a0<\/p>

The Ionic padding and antimicrobial strap are also said to prevent the growth of pong-producing bacteria.\u00a0<\/p>
