Giro Coalition Spherical Full Face Helmet
Overall Review
The light weight full face helmet segment has grown considerably over the past five years or so, driven by the increasing popularity of the enduro discipline and the evolution of mountain bikes in general. More capable bikes increase exposure to speed and gnarly terrain, leading many riders to seek full face protection even on pedal powered rides. E-bikes have also contributed to the proliferation of full face helmets on more types of trails. Giro has been a bit late to address the true light weight full face market, but they’ve put the extra development time to good use – the all-new...

Overall Review
Protection against the effects of rotational forces on the brain has become pretty much the norm in high-end helmets, but there are several ways to go about designing this feature. Bell and Giro have pushed the concept further than many others with their Spherical Technology powered by MIPS, and the release of their latest open face helmet for mountain biking was a good opportunity for us to take a closer look at it.

Giro Latch Flat Pedal Shoe
Giro Latch Flat Pedal Shoe - Long Term Review (Product Review)
The Good
Lightweight, comfortable fit with superb pedal control and connection.
The Bad
The narrow profile and low-cut design provide limited ankle support.
Overall Review
Before releasing their all-new Latch shoe last September, Giro’s flat pedal shoe line had remained unchanged since 2018. While all their models were riddled with technical features and praised for their excellent fit and comfort, they were all missing one key piece to the flat pedal shoe puzzle: grip.
