Rides flip-up helmet
CELEBRATING 59 World Titles in the 18 years since
Antonio Locatelli introduced his first own brand
helmet designs, the emergence of the 'modular'/flipup helmet style in that time has been one of the
principal developments in the market.
Rides is the new flip-up helmet from Airoh, made
in specially formulated, high resistance
thermoplastic resin (H.R.T.) and designed by the
company for road and touring use.
Its double homologation (P/J) ensures premium
levels of safety in both full-face and open-face
modes. It features an extra wide visor to provide a
"huge visual field", with an adjustable sun screen
visor and Pinlock ready anti-fog visor.
Ventilation is by three glove-friendly wide air
vents, with the lower chinguard vents driving air
directly to the inner surface of the visor, while upper
vents guarantee fresh air inside the helmet.
The lining is made from rider-friendly high
performance materials that have been subjected to
"numerous stress tests to ensure maximum comfort
and breathability in all conditions. The micrometric

closure system, the excellent fit and the attention to
detail make this a helmet that lives up to the
standards and brand values that Airoh has come to
be recognised for", according to the company.
