The new Emerge MIPS helmet delivers freestyle riders the same proven technology used by top World Cup alpine skiers. This technology is packaged in a low-profile shell with a trusted freestyle shape and combined with the highly refined and sophisticated MIPS Spherical technology. MIPS aids in the reduction of rotational energy during certain impacts. This integrated feature includes two layers of impact-reducing, dual-density EPP foam that aids in reducing high- and low-energy impacts that are inevitable in freestyle progression. From firm halfpipes to spring jump sessions to fresh tracks to urban riding, the Emerge MIPS offers a revolutionary new option for riders looking for a lightweight, low-profile package with the refined and sophisticated protection of MIPS Spherical. The search ends with the new Emerge MIPS — it's no contest when it comes to style and protection, and it's trusted by Giro's world class team. Learn more at Giro.com/Emerge
FEATURES
- MIPS - With this sophisticated design, two layers of EPP foam fit together like a ball and socket. This system helps protect the brain from rotational energy by allowing up to 15 millimeters of relative motion between the helmet and head during the first milliseconds of an impact.
- D2 Construction pairs two densities of Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) foam to manage both high- and low-energy impacts
- EPP liner — Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) offers impressive resistance. This crushable foam regains its shape and retains some of its protective qualities after multiple impacts.
- Stash Fit System — Stash Fit allows for the advanced customization of your helmet with three possible padding configurations. The system includes a built-in liner pocket and two densities of earpads. Run it without pads, with medium pads, or with a thicker pad depending on your preference.
- Giro's Stack Vent was developed based on research showing the majority of warm air that can cause fogging comes from the goggle's center top vent. Aligning the Stack Vent in the helmet with the center vent of the goggle helps keep it clear and fog-free.
- Super Cool Vents
- The Strap Channel is a recession in the interior liner to allow riders to run theihr goggle strap under their helmet
- Removable goggle retainer
- Removable earpads
- Compatible with aftermarket Giro audio systems by Outdoor Tech
- Seamless Compatibility with all Giro goggles – For optimal performance of both helmets and goggles, Giro products are designed to work together, ensuring a seamless interface between helmet and goggle for an exceptional fit and dependable, worry-free function
- Compliance: CE EN1077

Super Cool Vents
I recently took my dated and tired old racing bike along to Leeli Cycles for some much needed work. I was cheerfully greeted by Ben the very friendly owner and number one mechanic. He suggested a full service and looked over the bike to access the condition of the other cycle components. A very comprehensive quote was later emailed to me listing all the parts that Ben would require to complete the job. He phoned me as soon as my bike was ready and I hurried along to pick it up. My first reaction was, wow! It looked as good as new and fully roadworthy again. Ben had done an incredible job in transforming my old racer back to its former glory! I'm very pleased to have used Leeli Cycles along with Ben's wealth of mechanical knowledge, sound advice and attention to detail. Even happier still to support this amazing small local business offering great value and excellent customer service. An outstanding shop in every way for all your cycling needs with the personal touch. Pop in and see for yourself. I guarantee you won't be dissapointed.
