Extensive features at a very competitive price.
The Italian manufacturer occupies a middle ground in terms of pricing, offering affordable lids with cutting-edge technology and features that rival higher-priced helmets.
Continuing to lead the premium helmet market, Airoh has been making a significant impact in Europe with its cutting-edge products, such as the innovative Mathisse II helmet. This modular design offers unparalleled versatility while prioritizing both comfort and safety.
This helmet is a two-in-one design. The reason for this is its chin bar, which can be rotated 180 degrees. This allows riders to easily switch between a full-face setup and an open-face configuration for more relaxed city riding. In the open position, the chin bar rotates to the back of the head, providing a clean and balanced profile.

The Mathisse II comes with a thermoplastic shell available in four different sizes to accommodate diverse head shapes. Internally, it features a fully removable and washable lining that enhances durability. What's more significant is the Airoh's Sliding Net (ASN) system, which is conceptually similar to the Mips system. Its purpose is to decrease rotational forces exerted on the head in the event of an accident.
In brief, the new Airoh Mathisse II is all about being versatile—it's perfect for riders seeking the most practical option without sacrificing safety. For commuters, it offers the convenience of an open-face lid. For tourers, it provides the safety and protection of a full-face helmet. In terms of style, the Mathisse is quite distinctive, with a round profile that gives it a slightly retro look, reminiscent of helmets from Roof and Schuberth. It's a refreshing change from the numerous wild, angular lids that are currently on the market.
The Mathisse II's price is quite reasonable, considering all it offers. Airoh's European website lists the helmet starting at 299 euros, which is approximately $310 USD. There's no information yet on whether the Mathisse II will be available in the US, but if it is, it would likely be a solid, affordable choice in its category.
