We report a comprehensive study of the crystalline anisotropies of the cubic chiral helimagnet MnSi, in which we focus on the transition between the multi-domain helical state at low fields and the single-domain conical state at higher fields. Careful measurements of the magnetization and the transverse susceptibility as well as small-angle neutron scattering were carried out on a spherical sample in order to account for the effects of demagnetization fields. In combiniation with high-precision specific heat data, we establish a consistant picture and determine the cubic anisotropy terms of the free energy quantitatively.
