Rapha has recently introduced a new helmet – perfect for the Rapha fan looking for a matched kit or for anyone interested in the latest in helmet technology.
Rapha makes no secret that the helmet was made in collaboration with Giro. Based upon their Synth model, the helmet features a lightweight and reflective straps with a Slimline™ buckle, Roll Cage internal reinforcement and MIPS protection. MIPS – Multidirectional Impact Protection System creates a low-friction layer between the outer shell and liner of the helmet to help guard against brain injury caused by certain impacts.
Construction is an in-mold polycarbonate shell with EPS liner and thermoformed SL reinforcement.
For ventilation the helmet has 26 Wind Tunnel vents with internal channeling for optimized air flow.
In addition to white, black and chartreuse colorways, there is also an exclusive edition reserved only for Rapha Cycle Club members.
