If you’ve been riding for any length of time, you’ll have heard of the Giro Fixture. It’s been one of the most popular mountain bike helmets on the planet for years — and for good reason. The Fixture MIPS II is Giro’s latest evolution of this legendary lid, bringing a host of thoughtful updates whilst keeping the price firmly in accessible territory at just £89.99.
This is a helmet designed for riders who want the full package: solid protection, a proper fit, decent ventilation, and something that looks the part on the trail. Whether you’re a weekend warrior exploring the Peak District, a regular gravel rider clocking up the miles, or someone who simply wants a trustworthy everyday helmet — the Fixture MIPS II ticks all the boxes.
The headline upgrade on the Fixture II is the redesigned integration of the MIPS® Brain Protection System. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane technology that sits inside the helmet and is designed to help reduce rotational forces on the brain during angled impacts — the kind of impact most commonly experienced in real-world crashes. Giro has refined how MIPS is built into this helmet, making it feel more natural and comfortable to wear without compromising its protective performance.
The Fixture MIPS II uses in-mould construction, which fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell directly with the impact-absorbing foam liner. This process creates a helmet that’s noticeably lighter and better ventilated than older-style helmets, whilst remaining impressively robust. The revised silhouette also improves airflow compared to the original Fixture, making it a better companion on longer climbs and warmer summer days.
Getting a great fit is effortless thanks to Giro’s Roc Loc® Sport system. With a 7cm adjustment range and a satisfying click-dial at the rear, you can dial in your fit with one hand — handy when you’re halfway through a ride. The system is also compatible with a ponytail, which is a welcome touch. Once you’ve found your sweet spot, it stays put.
The Fixture MIPS II comes in a 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 you’re unlikely to be faffing around trying multiple sizes. Just measure up, put it on, and adjust the dial — simple.
The internal padding wicks away sweat and dries quickly, keeping you comfortable during longer efforts. Reflective decals on the rear of the helmet give added visibility during low-light conditions — useful for those early morning or late evening rides when the light starts to fade.
The Giro Fixture MIPS II is a brilliant choice for mountain bikers and gravel riders who want a reliable, well-specced helmet without spending a fortune. It’s particularly well suited to those getting into off-road riding for the first time, as well as experienced riders looking for a solid everyday option they don’t have to worry about. At £89.99, it represents outstanding value for a MIPS-equipped lid from one of cycling’s most trusted helmet brands.
