Giro Insurgent Spherical helmet
The Giro Insurgent™ Spherical delivers the protection and comfort that top gravity riders from rampage to ews demand, with the ball-and-socket design of spherical technology™ paired with best-in-class cooling power. Weighing 1,040 grams in size M/L, the Insurgent is 200 grams lighter than the Disciple Mips, despite additional features that include the advanced protection performance of Spherical Technology™. The Insurgent Spherical uses a pair of EPP and EPS foam layers of different densities that act as a ball and chain to redirect impact energy in the event of a fall. Other features include a patent-pending Flex gasket along the lower edge of the helmet, designed to reduce the role the helmet can play in certain collarbone impacts, tool-free tear-off visor bolts with an integrated Allen spanner receiver for easy removal, and a central hole for the visor bolt, which does double duty as an ideal support for the P.O.V. action cameras.
Stay cool under pressure
A test using the proprietary Therminator shape to measure the helmet's cooling efficiency and the results show that Insurgent sets a new standard for full-face helmets. Despite the added features and protection, it has a 50% higher cooling efficiency than the Disciple Mips (cooling measured from an initial temperature of 100° with a wind speed of 25 mph).
Confidence to commit
Engineers maximised the entry points for fresh air, resulting in 50% more efficient cooling power than the Disciple™ Mips®. The set of lightweight, soft-touch and absorbent pads includes two different cheek pads for each of the three sizes for a customisable fit, secured with a directional click system that allows easy removal in the event of a fall.
Optimized front intake vents
Giro engineers designed precise placement and shape of intake vents to optimize cool air flowing over riders’ heads.
Maximized rear exhaust vents
The complex Wind Tunnel venting system allows hot air an easy escape route from the rear of the helmet.
Breakaway visor bolts
Tool-free breakaway visor bolts are engineered with an integrated Allen key receiver for easy removal and replacement in case of crash.
Directional snap system
In case of emergency, cheek pads are easily removable without disturbing the riders head & neck position.
Patent-pending flex gasket
The zone along the lower edge of the helmet is designed to allow some flex, reducing the role a helmet can play in certain collarbone impacts.
Stealth camera mount
The central visor bolt hole does double duty as an ideal location for mounting POV action cameras.
Ionic+ ® Padding
Pure Silver is the secret ingredient that gives IONIC+ ® the power to provide natural, permanent odor protection to keep your helmet feeling fresh.

Technologies
Spherical Technology
The unique ball-and-socket design of Spherical Technology utilizes two separate liners to help manage impact forces. The material and density of the inner and outer liners can be optimized with Progressive Layering to help manage a broad range of impact forces: the Insurgent features an outer EPS layer (to address high-speed impacts) and an inner EPP layer (with rebound characteristics designed to handle slower speed falls.) When you combine the benefits of Progressive Layering with the market-leading Mips® Brain Protection System, which can help redirect rotational energy away from the brain, you get more comprehensive protection. Developed at the Bell+Giro Dome laboratory in partnership with Mips®, Spherical Technology’s unique Ball-and-Socket Design redirects impact forces, bringing market-leading design, performance and brain protection together without compromising comfort, ventilation, weight or style.
Roc Loc® Air DH Fit System
This revolutionary fit system adds a new dimension to helmet performance by enhancing cooling, as well as fit comfort and stability. Using a patented design that suspends the helmet just slightly off the top of the skull, Roc Loc® Air DH allows cool airflow to pass directly over your head, further enhancing the performance of vents and internal channeling that exhaust heat out of the helmet. Fit and feel adjustments mimic the Roc Loc 5, allowing you to easily custom tune fit tension and fore-aft tilt of the helmet in seconds using a single hand.
