Biltwell Gringo S Helmet Item # 995117
Description
An old favorite but now with a new fit and new features. The latest Gringo S helmet not only meets DOT regulations in the US, it also meets the new European ECE 22.06 regs. The shield mechanism now uses the same anti-rattle closure featured on Biltwell's Lane Splitter helmets. Three shell sizes replace the previous two for improved fit and comfort.
The main differences between the Gringo S and SV models is that the SV model features front, side, and rear vent ports to improve interior airflow, moisture dissipation, and cooling
Features:
- Injection-molded ABS outer shell is lightweight and highly resistant to impacts
- New Dual Density expanded polystyrene (EPS) internal safety shell absorbs and dissipates impact energy without compromising comfort
- Molded urethane chin bar pad dissipates energy during front impact
- Chin strap features brushed fleece Lycra touchpoints for comfort, and a D-ring retention system with red quick-release pull tab for speedy removal
- CE-certified, injection-molded polycarbonate shield features anti-fog and anti-scratch treatments for durability and safety
- Rugged hinge hardware with robust detents allows you to ride with the shield open at slow speeds to increase cooling airflow
- Anodized aluminum washers and stainless-steel hinge screws can be swapped with different colors and finishes to personalize the look of your helmet (hinge hardware sets available separately)
- Removable/replaceable comfort liner and cheek pads are constructed with fleece Lycra and open-cell foam padding to absorb and evaporate perspiration
- New BioFoam head form panel and ventilated polyester padding maximize airflow around your head to ensure coolness and comfort
- Molded EPS ear pockets fit select aftermarket audio accessories
- US DOT FMVSS No. 218 compliant / ECE R22.06 certified
Note: The new R22.06 Gringo S will NOT work with the old Gringo S shields (Part N: #759604 & #733465) because the closure has been improved.
