Insurgent Spherical Helmet

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is my race helmet. The ventilation is remarkable—you can actually feel air moving at low speeds—and the Spherical system gives it serious confidence on big hits. The cheek pads come out smoothly, the visor breaks away cleanly in a crash, and it’s lighter than most helmets with similar protection. It’s built for true gravity riding."

The Giro Insurgent Spherical Helmet is purpose-built for riders pushing the edge in enduro, downhill, and freeride terrain. At its core is Spherical Technology™, a dual-shell ball-and-socket design powered by Mips® that allows controlled rotation during an impact while eliminating direct contact between slip planes and the rider’s skin. Progressive EPP and EPS foams manage both high-energy crashes and lower-speed impacts with precise and efficient energy dispersion.

Engineers optimized front intake vents and sculpted the internal channeling to create airflow that outperforms previous designs by over 50%, helping riders stay cool during long stages, lift days, or desert heat. The Flex Gasket at the lower edge is designed to flex on collarbone contact, and the directional-snap cheek pads allow medical personnel to remove padding without disturbing head and neck alignment. Tool-free breakaway visor bolts and an integrated action-camera mount add features demanded by elite racers.

With class-leading ventilation, downhill-caliber protection, advanced fit tuning via the Roc Loc® Air DH system, and IONIC+® padding for long-ride comfort, the Insurgent Spherical is a premier option for riders who expect uncompromising performance on the most challenging terrain.
