Technical specifications

Size guide

The Helios uses seven sizes instead of the usual six: M is split into MS and MC, two close but distinct sizes. MS covers 57 cm and is the tighter fit, MC covers 58 cm and is more comfortable. We have the MS in stock.

Measure your head circumference with a tailor's tape measure just above your eyebrows, at the widest point. The MS we have in stock covers 57 cm; if you measure 58 cm, the right size is the MC: write to us before ordering.

Original spare parts and visors

The series is discontinued, but Airoh still stocks the dedicated spare parts — and in one case, the spare part is specific to the Helios, distinct from that of the next generation. This is the difference between a discontinued product you can keep for years and one that becomes unusable the moment the visor gets scratched:

Spare parts that the manufacturer keeps in the catalog for this series. The clear visor has its own code, different from that of the next generation: when ordering, specify Helios.

Who it is perfect for

The Helios is the jet helmet for those who use a scooter every day and want three things: low weight, a built-in sun visor, and the ability to mount an intercom without modifications. The 1,250 grams are barely noticeable even after half an hour in traffic, the sun visor solves backlighting issues on tree-lined roads without needing sunglasses, and being Bluetooth-Ready avoids the need to choose between navigation and music. The solid matte black never goes out of style and hides small signs of use. At this price, for a new helmet with these features, the MS size is the only thing you need to match.

Frequently asked questions

What homologation does it have?
It is ECE 22.05 approved. The code is printed on the label sewn into the chin strap, along with the homologation number and production batch: this is where it should be read, not on the box or the external sticker.

What does size MS mean?
In the Helios range, M is split into two fits: MS and MC. MS covers 57 cm, MC covers 58: two close but distinct sizes, MS being tighter and MC more comfortable. It helps those who find a normal M uncomfortable in one way or another. We have the MS in stock.

What is the HRT of the shell?
High Resistant Thermoplastic, the high-resistant thermoplastic that Airoh uses on its urban jet helmets. It is not a composite fiber, but it allows for a weight of around 1,250 grams and three outer shell sizes, so the small size doesn't make your head look too large.

Is the intercom included?
No. The helmet is Bluetooth-Ready, meaning the interior already has housing for speakers and cable routing, but the communication system must be purchased separately. Before buying, check the thickness of the speakers: very deep ones can be uncomfortable on the ears.

Why does it cost so little compared to the retail price?
Because it is the last piece of a discontinued series, and the price is a clearance price. The helmet is new, never worn, with sealed packaging and manufacturer's warranty: the only thing that changes is that it will not be restocked.

If I scratch the visor, can I still find it?
Yes, and that is why it is worth getting it even if it is discontinued. Airoh keeps the clear visor with a code specifically dedicated to the Helios series in the catalog, as well as smoke and mirrored versions, the spare sun visor, and air vents.
