Technical specifications

Size guide

The Helios uses seven sizes instead of the usual six: between S and L there are two intermediate steps, the tighter M Sport (MS, 57 cm) and the roomier M Confort (MC, 58 cm). In this colour only XS is left.

Measure your head circumference with a tailor's tape just above the eyebrows, at the widest point. The ✔ marks the size we have: in this colour it is XS only.

Who it is perfect for

It is the right jet helmet for riders who get around town on a scooter or a road bike and have a small head: the Helios XS is built on the first shell, so it stays compact instead of looking like a big padded helmet. The built-in sun visor deals with glare without sunglasses, the Bluetooth preparation lets you fit an intercom without modifications, and with the Custom Kit you can remove the visor on hot days and ride with glasses or goggles. The fluo yellow on the shell is the practical part of the graphics: on a grey helmet it is the detail that gets you noticed in traffic.

Frequently asked questions

What approval does it have?
It is ECE 22.05 approved. The marking is printed on the strip sewn into the chin strap, together with the approval number and the production batch: that is where to read it, not on the box or on the outer sticker. The shell is in HRT thermoplastic, in three outer sizes.

Are there other sizes besides XS?
No, in this colour only XS is left, covering 53-54 centimetres, and it is the last piece. The series is discontinued and will not be restocked, so the other sizes of this grey will not come back. The Helios XS is built on the first shell, so it stays compact on small heads.

What is the Custom Kit included in the box?
It is the set of covers Airoh puts in the box: they close the side mounts and let you use the helmet without the long visor, for a modern classic style to pair with glasses or goggles. It is not an accessory to buy, it is already there.

Is the intercom included?
No. The helmet is prepared for Bluetooth, which means the liner already has the housings for the speakers and the cable routing, but the communication system must be bought separately. Before buying one, check the thickness of the speakers: very deep ones can press uncomfortably on your ears.

Is the yellow just a detail or a large band?
It is an insert on the upper part of the shell, above the light band with the AIROH lettering: it is clearly visible from above and at three-quarter view, while in profile the helmet stays mostly matte grey. On a grey helmet it is the detail that gets you noticed in traffic.

If I scratch the visor, can I still find one?
Yes. Airoh keeps the visor made for the Helios series in its catalogue, plus the spare sun visor, the side plates and the cheek pads. When you order them, specify Helios: the next generation, the Helyos, uses different codes and the parts are not interchangeable. Original spare parts for the series remain available even though the helmet is discontinued.
