Steelbird Helmets has announced the launch of the SBH-23 AVA Glossy cutting-edge half-face helmet. Designed to tackle the challenges of summer riding, it has six built-in air vents that promise exceptional airflow. 
Aimed at urban commuters, the half-face helmet has been crafted to offer comfortable and protection to the rider by using breathable, Italian-designed interiors that are of the ‘multi-pore’ kind, removable and washable. 
Ensuring hygiene and freshness even during prolonged use in hot and humid conditions, the interiors could be taken out for washing to keep them clean and devoid of any contamination. 
Featuring a high-impact ABS shell with multi-layer high-density EPS for superior impact absorption, the helmet is equipped with a polycarbonate anti-scratch visor and an inner black sunshield, which provides clear, glare-free visibility under intense sunlight and reduces eye fatigue. 
Including a European standard micro-metric buckle for quick and secure fastening, a neck protector for long-ride comfort and an anti-scratch coated visor for long-lasting clarity, the helmet is by BIS (IS 4151:2015) certified. 
It is available in a variety of vibrant, summer-friendly colours and sizes of M (580mm) and L (600mm). It is priced at INR 1,299, which makes it easily accessible to riders from various economic strata.
Speaking about the new helmet, Rajeev Kapur, Managing Director, Steelbird Helmets, mentioned, “Summer rides come with their own set of challenges—heat, dust, and long hours on the road. With the SBH-23 AVA, there’s not only safety and ventilation on offer but also elegant Italian styling that riders will love.”
