Technical specifications

Size guide

The table shows the full size range of the model according to the manufacturer. In this graphic we stock size M only. Measure your head circumference with a tailor's tape just above the eyebrows, at the widest point; if you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.

Who it is perfect for

It is the modular helmet for riders who alternate urban riding and travel: closed on the ring road and motorway, open at traffic lights, at the fuel station and during stops, without taking it off and while staying legal thanks to the dual P/J approval. The internal sun visor and the Pinlock lens already in the box make it ready for every season from day one. In this version the Illusion graphic pairs matte grey with fluo orange.

Frequently asked questions

What does dual P/J approval mean?
It means the helmet is approved in two configurations: P with the chin guard closed, like a full-face helmet, and J with the chin guard raised, like an open-face helmet. So you can legally ride with it open too, which is not allowed on a modular helmet approved as P only. ECE 22.05 approval.

Why is it so cheap?
Because the first-generation Mathisse has left the Airoh catalogue, replaced in the range by the Mathisse II, and the Illusion graphic is no longer produced: this is one of the last pieces in stock, at an end-of-line price. The helmet is still new and boxed and ships from Italy with an invoice.

Is the Pinlock included?
Yes: the Pinlock 70 lens is in the box and the visor is already prepared to take it. It is the inner lens that stops fogging in cold and damp conditions: you fit it to the visor only once, before your first rides in the cold.

Can I fit an intercom?
Yes, the helmet is prepared for an intercom, meaning it is ready to house a communication system. The intercom is not included and is bought separately. On a modular helmet it is best to choose an intercom whose microphone does not obstruct the rotation of the chin guard.

Are spare parts still available?
Yes: Airoh still lists spare parts for the first-generation Mathisse, including clear, smoke and mirrored visors, Stop Wind, liners and air vents. The spare chin guard is available in solid colours (matte black, matte bronze, gloss white), not in the Illusion graphic.

Is M my size and how much does it weigh?
Size M is for a head circumference of 57-58 cm: measure it with a tailor's tape just above the eyebrows and, if you are between two sizes, choose the larger one. Size M uses the first of the two shells. The manufacturer declares a weight from 1,675 g, with a tolerance of 50 g.
