SHOW ZONE
Airoh: 2017 saw the 20th anniversary of Antonio Locatelli’s first own brand helmets. Now sold in
more than 60 countries, the on and off-road helmet manufacturer’s race and safety credentials have
seen it become one of the major players in a crowded market at a time when the always cut-throat
helmet market became over-supplied and under price pressure like never before. This year saw the
company add the Enduro GP and Enduro 2 to its line-up of over 80 World Championships. At EICMA,
Airoh added further to its award-winning range with three new high performance composite helmets
- the small and lightweight ST 501 dual shell full-face, ‘Terminator Open Vision’ off-roader and the
advanced design ‘Commander’ on and off-road dual shell modular convertible, with included sun
screen and Pinlock visors; www.airoh.com
Schuberth: The latest news from the German
helmet manufacturer concerns a link-up with
Head Up Display add-on manufacturer NUVIZ.
Backed by a $10m strategic investment from
KTM owner Stefan Pierer, the NUVIZ is the first
stand-alone HUD unit to come to market, and
Schuberth are believed to be the first helmet
manufacturer to enter into a joint venture
application partnership with the United
States/Finland based start-up. The company will
be offering the NUVIZ Head Up Display (HUD)
as of spring 2018 with a specially designed
Schuberth helmet mount and says that “as a
result, the HUD needs no cables and is easy to
use with the Schuberth C4 and R2 helmets”.
Jan-Christian Becker, Schuberth CEO, says:
“Schuberth stands for innovation and
continuous development. We want to offer our
customers the best solutions and the latest
developments. For this reason, we are very
proud to have NUVIZ as a partner, a company
that offers the best and currently the only HUD
