Then when you rotate the chin bar back to the full-face position, the clear visor automatically opens so the two components have clearance from each other. Firstly, when you press the red lever on the front of the chin bar, the clear visor snaps straight into the fully opened position, ready for the chin bar to rotate without making any contact with the visor. The advantage of modular lids like the Airoh is that because the chin bar can do a 180-degree rotation, the weight is kept low and close to the helmet instead of being high on your head like flip-up helmets that have a chin bar rotation of only 90 degrees or so.Ĭall it dumb luck, but the weight of the Airoh settled a stiff neck I’d been dealing with for a week.Ī couple of design features that impressed me most relate to the opening of the external clear visor. ![]() At around 1700 grams, the Airoh Rev is no lightweight but it’s hardly a behemoth either. ![]() With the front of the helmet open, there’s some flex in the cheek area of the Thermoplastic shell to spread the helmet and easily slide it on.Įvery brand of flip helmet I’ve encountered, as a former accessories retailer, has this flex and while it’s always made me question the helmet’s safety it does make it easy to put on and even easier to reach inside the helmet and fold my ears back to their natural position.ĭo everyone’s ears fold down when they put on a helmet or is it just my wing nuts?ĭue to the mechanics of a flip-up helmet, they’re generally heavier than a standard lid. Without doubt, this helmet is easiest to put on with the jaw piece open.
