Frequently Asked Questions

What homologation does it have and how safe is it?
The Valor Ribs is ECE 22.05 homologated, and in independent SHARP testing, the Valor achieved 5 out of 5 stars, the maximum score. The shell is made of HRT thermoplastic and is produced in two sizes: the XS uses the first, smaller size, and the XL uses the second, each proportional to the head size.

Is the Pinlock lens included?
No: the visor is ready for a Pinlock lens, but the lens is not in the box and must be purchased separately with Airoh code 6433. The box, according to Airoh, includes the Stop Wind, the chin curtain to be mounted under the chin guard to prevent air from entering from below.

Why does it cost so little?
Because the Valor is discontinued: it does not appear in the 2027 Airoh price list, and the Ribs graphic is no longer on the manufacturer's website. The two remaining pieces, one per size (XS and XL), are on clearance, well below the list price of €169.99. They are new and original Airoh, made in Italy, and ship from Italy with an invoice.

Are spare parts still available?
Yes, Airoh keeps Valor spare parts in its catalog: clear visor 5846V and dark smoke 05ST7FS, Pinlock lens 6433, visor side plate kit 6432, specific size inner liner (5007VALOR0XS and 5007VALOR0XL), and Stop Wind 5510VAL0000. This ensures the helmet remains usable for a long time with original parts.

What is the visor like and how does it close?
The visor is a racing type, extra-wide vision, UV and scratch-resistant, with a locking system and an anti-fog position; it can be removed without tools. The chin strap has a micrometric closure, which clicks into place and adjusts to the neck size.

Which size should I choose and how much does it weigh?
Measure your head circumference just above the eyebrows, at the widest point: here we have XS for 53-54 cm (using the first shell size) and XL for 61-62 cm (using the second shell size). The Valor Ribs weighs 1,400 g ±50 g according to Airoh; including the shipping box, it is approximately 1.85 kg.
