Bayard XP-77 S Phoenix Dark Grey Modular Helmet ECE 22.06 P/J – 180° Flip-Back

The dark gray Bayard XP-77 S Phoenix is a flip-back modular helmet: the chin bar flips back 180° and rests behind the nape of the neck, instead of remaining bulky over the forehead as in classic modular helmets. It has dual ECE 22.06 P/J homologation, so it is legal to ride with it both closed and open. Polycarbonate shell, integrated retractable smoked sun visor, scratch-resistant visor with hard coating, ventilation on chin, shell and occipital extractor, micrometric ratchet closure, and intercom predisposition. Weight 1,600 ± 50 g, sizes from XS to XXL. Item code 107.443.

Splash Design supplier price list for the version code, EAN, shipping weight, HS code 65061010, and country of origin. The catalog lists six replacement visors from the 107 445 series (clear, smoked, light silver, iridium, dark gold, dark silver). ⚠️ The Bayard catalog does not publish the weight, head circumference chart, or intercom predisposition for this model.

Size guide

Measure your head circumference with a tape measure, just above your eyebrows and at the widest point of your nape, including ears. That number in centimeters is your size. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller one. With the helmet fastened, when you move your head, your forehead skin should move with the helmet.

Who is it perfect for?

This is the helmet for those who want a modular helmet but cannot stand the bulk of the raised chin bar over the forehead. The flip-back system moves it behind the neck: when open, the Phoenix truly behaves like a jet helmet, without the mass pulling the neck forward at every stop. The dark gray finish is for those who want a subtle but not black helmet: it remains discreet on dark bikes and contrasts just enough with light fairings. It is the helmet for touring enthusiasts who want to be able to talk, drink, and get some air at traffic lights without taking it off, and for those who wear glasses and appreciate the full opening to put them on and take them off. The dual P/J homologation removes any regulatory doubts. Those looking for the lightest possible weight would do better with a jet helmet. If you have doubts about the size, contact us for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I ride with the chin bar open?
Yes. The Phoenix has dual ECE 22.06 P/J homologation, which certifies the helmet as both a protective full-face and a jet helmet. It is therefore legal to ride with the chin bar flipped back behind the neck, unlike modular helmets approved only for P, which must be kept closed while riding.

What is the difference between flip-back and a traditional modular helmet?
In a traditional modular helmet, the chin bar lifts and rests over the forehead, increasing bulk and air resistance. In the flip-back system, the chin bar rotates 180 degrees and positions itself behind the neck: when open, the Phoenix looks and feels like a true jet helmet, with no mass over the forehead.

How do I choose the right size?
Measure your head circumference with a tape measure, just above your eyebrows and at the widest point of your nape. Compare the value with the table: sizes range from XS to XXL, from 53 to 64 centimeters. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller one.

What is the difference between ECE 22.06 and 22.05?
22.06 is the European regulation now mandatory for helmets newly introduced to the market. Compared to 22.05, it adds oblique impact tests, multiple impact speed tests, and verification of the complete helmet with visor. A 22.05 helmet already purchased remains valid for use.

How does the ventilation work?
The Phoenix's ventilation works in three zones: an air intake on the chin bar that directs airflow towards the visor, an upper intake on the shell, and an occipital extractor that facilitates the exit of hot air. This is the classic setup for helmets designed for touring.
