In 2014, Biltwell launched the Gringo - their first full-face helmet. This retro-styled helmet garnered immense popularity among bikers, igniting a revival in the industry and setting the tone for a whole new segment of motorcycle helmets. Building upon their success, Biltwell later introduced the Gringo S with a polycarbonate shield and ensured that both models met the ECE R22.05 standards.
Biltwell is now proud to unveil the Gringo SV. Crafted with the same unwavering commitment to excellence as its predecessors, the Gringo SV sticks to the retro looks, but adds modern creature comforts and safety standards. There are vents directly integrated into the helmet shell, giving the helmet a racy silhouette while facilitating internal airflow. Channels within the EPS safety foam effectively dissipate heat and moisture buildup, ensuring comfort during rides. Additionally, the sliding mechanisms behind the brow vents enable riders to regulate airflow in colder conditions and are easily operated with a gloved hand.
The Gringo SV's shield features Biltwell's Gen-2 hinge hardware, with robust detents, and incorporates a new locking mechanism inspired by the brass pin design found in their acclaimed Lane Splitter helmet. As expected, the helmet's three-piece comfort liner is easily removable for convenient cleaning and replacement.
The Gringo SV is their first helmet to receive Europe's new ECE R22.06 safety certification. These cutting-edge tests address a wider range of potential loads and impact angles, while also establishing higher standards for shield testing, encompassing everything from light transmission to impact permeability.
Visually, this helmet stays true to Biltwell's vintage design ethos, while offering modern levels of safety and functionality.
