Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney’s breakout challenge on Mont Ventoux at this year’s Tour de France Femmes is being celebrated by a special Giro collection. 

The aptly-named Kasia Collection brings together three of Giro’s performance products and gives them a unique twist with special versions of the Eclipse Pro Spherical helmet, Aries Spherical helmet and Imperial II All Season shoe.

Each product features custom graphics and a distinctive mark inspired by Niewiadoma-Phinney’s Polish heritage, with design details drawing on Polish florals and traditional fabric motifs.

Heading up the collection is the Eclipse Pro Spherical helmet, which Giro says is 17 per cent faster than its predecessor following CFD and wind-tunnel testing. It uses Spherical Technology powered by Mips, alongside 15 Wind Tunnel vents and an Aura II reinforcing structure. It costs £319.99 and gets a super cool Multicolor/Pink colourway. 

Up next is the Aries Spherical, which is Giro’s current flagship road helmet and one which has been awarded a five-star rating from Virginia Tech’s independent testing programme – so it’s as safe as they come. Weighing just 265g in a medium, it features 21 Wind Tunnel vents for enhanced cooling, Mips-powered Spherical Technology and Progressive Layering dual-density foam for excellent impact absorption. It is priced at £319.99.

Finally, there’s the Imperial II All Season, a cycling shoe which has been designed for cooler environments. It features dual BOA Li2 dials, a woven TPU monofilament upper and forged carbon fibre outsole, with a claimed weight of 234g in a UK size 9. It costs £429.99 and gets the same stealthy colourway as the rest of the range.
