Hey UK based Slowtwitchers

Any truth to the rumour I just picked up at one of the LBS’s in town? They suggested that Giro will be bringing out the Rev Six in the UK first (and soon) to test the waters since TT racing is more popular there than in North America. Just curious if there might be a chance to get our hands on this helmet any time soon.

If Giro brings the helmet out in the UK first, they will most likely do it there because the helmet testing requirements are significantly less stringent in the UK/Europe/anywhere else in the world than they are in the US.

My understanding is that the Rev 6 was built to the European standards, which would make it usellable/un-raceable, but most importantly, uninsureable in the US (as is the case with most of the new TT helmets, by the way…)
