Giant introduces new helmets
German ace sprinter Marcel Kittel of Team Giant-Alpecin stormed to a big win at the 2015 Santos Tour Down Under opener wearing a new aero road helmet from Giant. We do not know the name of this new helmet, but we expect to see more along those lines, including but not limited to an aero TT one. On the home page of Giant Bicycles for one you can already look closer at the Rev road helmet.
"Beyond the bikes, Giant is supplying a full range of high-performance helmets to Team Giant-Alpecin, including the superlight and superior fitting Rev road racing model. Giant has also been working with its team of designers and engineers to develop cutting-edge aero road and time trial helmets to give riders like Marcel Kittel every performance advantage. The new Giant aero road helmet Marcel wore to victory at the People's Choice Classic is the result of this development, and Giant will launch the helmet commercially later this year," sad An Le, Global Marketing Director of Giant Bicycles.
Marcel Kittel dominated this sprint, and he wasn't the only one wearing an aero road helmet.
