Is Giro upgrading/replacing the Synthe?
 
I'm seeing Giro Synthe and Synthe MIPS helmets on deep clearance sale pricing lately. This isn't a very old design. Is Giro already about to replace or upgrade the Synthe and Synthe MIPS?

Maybe because Rapha is coming out with a new helmet and GIRO is making it for them. Look exactly like the Synthe but with the RAPHA branding and some other BS gimmicks. Also BELLS (which owned GIRO) is coming out with a new helmet this week also: Bells Zephyr.

Giro also introduced a down-market Synthe look-alike this week. But that wouldn't seem to be a reason to let the Synthe invade its space.
