It feels like a new helmet gets released almost every week from both known quantities and newcomers alike. This is great for riders looking to upgrade their old lid, opting for something lighter or with the latest tech. But most of the new helmets hitting the market are the high-end variety, made from carbon fiber and offering a host of new features, many of which seem unnecessary.

So, Airoh isn’t alone with the release of its latest lineup, which includes an updated version of a helmet I personally own, an HPC Carbon off-road helmet that carries an MSRP of $699.00 (the Full Carbon 3K iteration will set you back $849.00). But the brand also recently brought to market a pair of ADV helmets, one of which (Commander 2) was priced at $520, while the other had an MSRP of just $295.

Options, I like that.

The new lineup from Airoh features five off-road helmets, offered in a Crayon box's worth of colorways. The Aviator III returns with a Full Carbon 3k or HPC Carbon shell, which is offered in four sizes. It incorporates the brand’s most advanced technologies, including AMS² Plus, AMLS, AEFR and the Hydra System. Honestly, I am not sure what all those acronyms stand for, but what I can tell you is that the Aviator III is lightweight, extremely stable at high speeds, has great visibility, and lets me look like Taddy Blazusiak, just not ride like him.

New for 2027 is the Aviator 3 EVO, which the brand calls “the evolution of one of Airoh’s most successful off-road helmets and designed for riders who refuse to compromise.” The updated Aviator features dual ECE 22-06 and FIM Racing 02 homologation - technology developed for top-level competition – as well as an HPC Carbon shell and all of the acronyms (AMS² EVO, AMLS, AEFR and Hydra System technologies). In short, this is the top-of-the-line helmet for serious motocross, enduro and rally racers. It’s priced at €859,00 ($990.20 USD), was developed in a wind tunnel, has an optimized ventilation system with front and top air intakes, and was developed to balance rigidity, lightness and protection in off-road use.

The next three helmets that were released, however, are what caught my eye.

The Aviator Ace 2 is available in either Full Carbon 6K or Composite Carbon construction and introduces compatibility with Airoh’s AWC4 and AWC2 Bluetooth communication systems. Pricing starts at €399,99 ($461.51 USD); however, that number goes up to €469.99 ($541.77 USD) if you settle on one of the many optional colorways, including fun ones like Sunrise and Fury. According to Airoh, the Aviator Ace 2 “offers the perfect balance between off-road capability and everyday usability.” That’s fine, but I’m mostly keen on the price point for a full carbon off-road helmet.

The Twist 3 is a great entry-level off-road helmet, constructed of HRT and developed in the brand’s wind tunnel. Airoh says “it combines comfort, functionality and a completely refreshed design.” The Twist 3 is equipped with ASN and AEFR technologies and is compatible with the company’s AWC4 and AWC2 communication systems. The helmet is priced at €249.99 ($288.16 USD) and also comes in a slew of optional colorways, however, there is no price increase if you opt for Rainbow, Fancy or Dynasty (yes, those are their names).

Lastly, there’s the Wraaap. A helmet designed for both younger riders and newcomers, it’s constructed of a triple HRT shell and offers an efficient ventilation system that was, yea, you guessed it, developed in the company’s wind tunnel. The Wraaap starts at just €159.99 ($184.43 USD), but the Wraaap Darkness edition (you’re going to want to click on this) will set you back €179.99 ($207.47 USD).

So, while other brands bang the drum of tech-laden, ultra-lightweight, new lids, Airoh has a wide range on offer for 2027, with price points that should provide an option for most riders. Personally, I like to that Airoh has offered up a full carbon, wind tunnel tested, Bluetooth compatible off-road helmet that won’t set you back nearly $1000.
