It's a medium 55-59 cm. I bought it for the 2018 world championships when I decided to ride the Kingcycle. I used it in training as well and I never had an issue with the ventilation at all, despite it having less ventilation than the regular version. I paid £460 (well it was the Worlds) I'm asking £85. It won't suit a lot of recumbents as it has too much of a tail. Any type of upright or Kingcycle type is fine though.

All the best.

GIRO AEROHEAD ULTIMATE MIPS TT HELMET

Quite possibly the fastest time trial or triathlon helmet ever created, the Giro Aerohead Ultimate MIPS TT Helmet has a carbon fibre construction for the fastest and lightest aero profile. The shell of the helmet is constructed from TeXtreme carbon fibre, which is lighter and stronger than other carbon composites. This combines with the in-mould EPS liner to provide protection. The aero profile speaks for itself in terms of results, with Rohan Dennis recording the fastest ever average Tour de France prologue speed wearing the helmet in 2015.

Inside the helmet, the MIPS (Multi-Impact Protection System) acts to dramatically reduce crash impacts by creating a rotational interface between your head and the helmet. This offsets impacts by spreading the force through the helmet rather than through your cranium.

A premium time trial helmet such as this one would be nothing without clear vision when you are travelling at speed. Thankfully, Giro has enlisted the help of the best in the optical business in the form of Zeiss Optics for the visor. The large visor offers superb optical clarity and a large 180˚ peripheral field of vision. The Zeiss technology lens is both water-repellent and anti-fog treated, with vents placed at the top of the lens to provide cooling airflow. The visor can be quickly and easily attached and detached with the magnetic clips and can be flipped up too.

Giro's comfortable and easily adjustable signature fit is provided by the Roc Loc Air system. This allows for micrometric one-hand adjustment on the move.

I've decided to drop the price to £50 as I've had little interest.

All the best.
Roy

Hi Roy
I've also got one of these to sell - I don't find it as fast as my Met Drone Wide Body for time trialling. I suspect that the audience on here is very small, and the Giro Aerohead just isn't the right shape for the recumbent position.
I'm going to stick mine on Ebay and I think it'll get approx £90-£100. I'm happy to sell yours too for you at the same time if you wish (I'm assuming that youre not an ebay fan...)

Thanks Russ, that's very kind of you. I will see if Kevin want's it first though.

I prefer Gumtree as it has far less rules than eBay. eBay does have a bigger audience though. I get frustrated every time I try and post an item on eBay because I've done something wrong and they won't post it and tell me to start over again.

All the best.
Roy

Hi Russ
Kevin is defiantly having the helmet.

I'll be interested to hear what yours goes for.

All the best.
Roy
