Giant presents its new line of high performance helmets

Giant presents a new line of high-performance helmets geared towards the road, time trial, triathlon and mtb.

 

 

After the successes achieved with the new Giant Rev road helmet, used and developed throughout the course of the season by some of Giant's highest level professional cyclists in the most demanding races, Giant presents now a new line of high performance helmets oriented to road, time trial, triathlon and mtb.

 

In addition to the aforementioned Rev model, the new Giant helmet collection includes three other models: the Rivet aero road helmet, the Rivet TT for time trial and triathlon, and the Rail for trail, enduro and all use in mtb.

 

CYCLING IN ROUTE
 

 

Both Van der Haar and Degenkolb noted the increased performance provided by the Rev thanks to its lightness and ventilation design. With 21 ventilation channels or with a weight of 235 grams, the Rev is the preferred choice for climbers and runners who aspire to the general classifications of the Giant-Alpecin team.

 

SPEED

 

The Giant-Alpecin sprinters also enjoy a new advantage this year with the new helmet Rivet aero road. Designed using the technology of Computational Fluid Dynamics and with the input of professional brokers, the Rivet adds technologies and unique design elements to the aero helmet market.

 El AeroVent ventilation channel system from the Rivet, allows air circulation through the hull thanks to "neutral" front channels, and a general sliding profile. The sprinter of the Giant-Alpecin team Marcel Kittel he was the first to wear the Rivet in professional competition, and debuted with a victory in the People's Choice Classic, disputed in January in Australia.

And this last month the Rivet helmet has taken all eyes when John Degenkolb has got him the two best victories of his career, with the aero design. The German runner has made history this spring by being the first man since 1986 to win in both the Milan-San Remo as in the Paris-Roubaix, two of the monuments of the spring classics.

 

TRIATLON / CONTRARELOJ

 

The third option in the range of helmets for the riders of the Giant-Alpecin team is the Rivet TT helmet. Built specifically for time trial and triathlon tests, the Rivet TT has been developed in collaboration with the aerodynamic experts in the facilities of Aero Concept Engineering in France. It has about rounded front aeration channels that drive the ventilation air towards the back of the helmet. The short tail tail of the Rivet TT has been designed for the real conditions of the time trial, to verify that it produces a minimum resistance in a variety of positions of the corridor and the prevailing wind direction.

El AeroVent system The Rivet TT has four differentiated channels on the front that channel the air through the hull to a large exit located at the rear. The Dutch National Time Trial Champion Giant-Alpecin, Tom Dumoulin, he used the Rivet TT in the final time for the Return to the Basque Country (Spain), getting the victory in the stage.

 

Mountain bike

 

And the last helmet in the new Giant line is the Rail, oriented to use in mtb, both trail and Enduro. With trail-specific design and technologies, including a massive ventilation and reinforced and extended rear coverage, the Rail brings a new level of performance to riders who venture into the most demanding off-road conditions on every ride. With 18 ventilation holes, designed with straight flanks and not reduced, the air flow is optimized both to descend a path and to ascend the steepest slopes. The Rail also has a number of features to help riders in their needs, such as surface designed to facilitate the installation of recording cameras, integrated retention system to secure your glasses, and a adjustable visor.

The new Rev helmet is now available at Giant points of sale, while the rest of the range of helmets will be available at points of sale starting this Spring / Summer.
