The Cypher is more comfortable as I don't feel it on my head as much. Ventilation is the same. The SWorks is expensive, the Cypher about $100 less, and I like it better. Goes to show ya that price doesn't always mean better for everyone.
+1 on the Cypher.. an extremely rarely mentioned helmet, but it's lightweight, well-vented, and simple to fit and a simple design.
