Giant just pulled the covers off its all-new Rivet MIPS, a fully redesigned aero helmet built for athletes chasing podiums in time trials and triathlons. After extensive wind tunnel testing and pro-level validation, the new lid boasts a refined shape, updated safety features, and a serious upgrade in aerodynamic efficiency.
Engineered for Speed (and Sanity)
According to Giant, the Rivet MIPS sheds 6.4 watts off the previous model thanks to its slippery new shape — a silhouette fine-tuned through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), real-world testing, and feedback from the pros. The helmet’s lean profile, internal channeling, and air management system work in tandem to reduce drag while maintaining high airflow so your brain stays cool during peak effort.
MIPS Protection, Dialed In
Tucked inside is MIPS Air Node, a featherweight layer that adds impact protection without compromising ventilation or weight. It’s an innovative, minimalist solution that keeps things race-legal and crash-ready — perfect for riders toeing the line at Kona or sprinting out of the start gate in a UCI time trial.
Pro-Tested, Race-Proven
The Rivet MIPS has already been put through its paces by Team Jayco AlUla and Ironman World Champion Gustav Iden, lending it serious real-world credibility. Whether it’s long-course triathlons or pancake-flat time trials, the helmet is already proving itself where it counts — on race day.
Built for Comfort and Clean Lines
Weighing in at 503g (size medium), the Rivet MIPS strikes a balance between aero performance and all-day comfort. A lightweight strap system, micro-adjustable fit, and magnetic Fidlock buckle make for easy on and off, as well as a secure fit at speed. A detachable visor with anti-fog coating and UV protection keeps your vision clear and your profile aero.
