Deciding between biking helmets–Giro Ionos or Bell Sweep R?
Hello,
Need some some advice on the type of helmet to purchase, the difference is cost and looks. The Giro Ionos, I can probably get for $175 (retails for $225), and the Bell Sweep R I can get for $100 (retails for $130). I must say that the Giro Ionos looks sleeker and probably more desirable.. What are your guys’ thoughts?

Bell Sweep R:

In all honesty they both look pretty good, I ride with a Giro Atmos, in the same colours as the Giro in your link (mainly because it looks good and the colours match my bike!!)
But you said it yourself mate, “Cost and Looks” – only you can decide that!
