Just wanted to give y'all a heads up. Ordered the Aerohead MIPS this morning from Giro and got a confirmation that it shipped a couple minutes ago.

Doesn't look like the option to order the ultimate is live yet.

Thanks for posting. They said they wouldn't be available until August.

I have mine on backorder from Trisports. I'm assuming it's coming very soon. I'm not racing until September so I can wait a few days. :-)

I ordered mine through a shop on Amazon. I received my shipping confirmation yesterday and the ETA is tomorrow!!! Because I'm a tweener, I ordered two sizes. Will post pics once they're here.

Why the hell is David's Formal Wear selling aerohelmets? Does that mean I can wear one to a wedding?

Ha, apparently they're also bikehelmetsdirect. Six months interest free on my amazon account sealed the deal.

Should match nicely with my tux. ;)

You ordered thru this Bike Helmets Direct one? Did you choose next day shipping? Link says not expected until the 13-14th, or maybe you just got geographically lucky. Fwiw, I ordered mine thru the Giro site, although I wish I could have done the Amazon as the Discover IT card, currently has 5% quarterly savings at Amazon, plus mine gets doubled for first year. Regardless, I paid for next day, hopefully get it tomorrow so I can use it maybe for a race on Sunday. Got shipping confirmation this morning.

That's the one. Standard shipping...as you said, geographically lucky. I put the order in last week hoping it would ship on the 30th as per the ETA on other sites.

Hope yours arrives for your race. Best of luck this wekend!

Standard shipping is fedex home delivery. I'm assuming thats fedex ground.

I just got my shipping confirmation 3 minutes ago so I should have it well before my next race.

Thanks to Athlete's Lounge for putting the rush on to get it to me in time!

Just put my Amazon order in this morning as well and got a really quick confirmation of shipping about 45 minutes later. Hopefully it's legit since USPS tracking isn't updated yet. Let us know if you get yours first!

was there ever a conclusion on if the "ultimate" was faster then the regular one?

My take is it would be because it doesn't have the vents like the cheaper version. Jim Manton can certainly chime in and comment but that's my understanding.

I live in Houston so I'd much prefer more vents and $300 cheaper than saving 15 seconds. :-)

were is Jim when we need him!....... Been in with S-works now for 2 years and has no vents i seem to have survived racing in Galveston and Buffalo Springs, despite the sweat that was pouring down my visor. Would love to know if its 15 sec or 2min difference. Your right at 15 would rather save the 300$ at 1min i would rather spend the 300$.

Giro has aero data on the site. 1 second savings for 40K at 400 watts, and 5 seconds savings for 180K at 250 watts. Not sure who rides 40K at 400 watts so maybe 2 seconds savings for us mere mortals.

$300 for maybe 3 seconds savings for a 70.3 is not worth it at all. Especially when it's 10% warmer of a helmet.

It will be interesting to see how they compare if you cover up the vents on the cheaper model.

I'm sure Jim will be testing it when he gets the chance.

I rarely do TTs and so rarely wear my P09 TT helmet, but I know it runs a lot hotter than my Giro Synthe road helmet. I wouldn't race a TT in my Synthe, but I don't think CdA is the only determinant of what makes a "fast" TT helmet.

Much like with tires, we have to look at both Crr and CdA, and we've now come to the view that generally speaking, running 23mm tires makes more sense than running 18mm tires (the decreased Crr of the 23mm tire more than makes up for the increased CdA of the 18mm tire).

I've got to think that TT helmets are the same, in that you have to balance CdA with ventilation, especially as you consider increased distances, warm weather races or simply your individual propensity to overheat.

There are studies showing that when the body overheats, power can be significantly affected. So the question is, yes a helmet with limited ventilation may have lower CdA, but how much does it contribute to your core temperature rising and the resulting loss of power.

Not sure, as soon as they were annonced I told my LBS, "Hey this is coming in August, I want the first one you get!" He said sure and then last week he hit me up and said what size and color. Then told me it was ordered and should be here by this week. Then bam it was there today and I had to get it asap (even though my next TT event isn't till Tuesday)
Here is the colorway I got:
