The Giro Fixture has spent years as the world’s top-selling mountain bike helmet. That’s not a title you hold by accident — it’s earned by consistently delivering the right combination of protection, comfort, and value. This updated Fixture II builds on that legacy with a freshened design, a revised silhouette, and improved ventilation, all while staying firmly in the accessible end of the price range at £69.99.
Whether you’re hitting the singletrack for the first time or looking for a reliable everyday helmet to replace a tired older lid, the Fixture II is one of the safest bets in cycling.
Giro hasn’t just slapped a new colourway on the original Fixture — this is a properly updated helmet with a reworked shell profile and better airflow than its predecessor. The new silhouette sits a little cleaner on the head, and the improved ventilation channels mean more fresh air moving over your scalp on those longer climbs or warmer days out on the trails.
The Fixture II uses in-mould construction, fusing a tough polycarbonate outer shell directly with the EPS foam impact liner. This creates a helmet that’s lighter and better ventilated than traditional hard-shell designs, whilst being plenty durable enough for regular trail use. The integrated build also means there are no joins or gaps for mud and grit to get into.
Giro’s Roc Loc® Sport fit system is one of the best at this price point. A simple dial at the rear gives you a 7cm adjustment range, and the satisfying click-mechanism means you always know exactly where your fit is set. It works with one hand, stays put once adjusted, and is ponytail-compatible too — a small but welcome detail that makes a real difference for a lot of riders.
The Fixture II comes in a single Universal Adult size designed to fit heads measuring 54–61 cm. Giro’s Universal Fit sizing is engineered to suit a wide range of head shapes straight out of the box, so in most cases you’ll get a great fit without having to try multiple sizes. Measure up, pop it on, dial it in.
The internal padding is designed to wick sweat and dry quickly, keeping things comfortable on longer or harder efforts. Reflective rear decals add a useful degree of visibility in low-light conditions — handy for early morning or evening rides, or those grey New Forest days when the light drops earlier than expected.
The new Giro Fixture II is the ideal choice for mountain bikers and trail riders who want a well-made helmet from a brand they can trust, without paying over the odds. It’s a great first proper MTB helmet for newer riders, and a solid pick for anyone who wants a fresh everyday option. If you’d like added brain protection on top, take a look at our Giro Fixture MIPS II — the MIPS-equipped version at £84.99.
