Airoh has just dropped the H.21, a new open-face helmet that’s clearly trying to do more than just be a breezy city lid. It comes in full carbon or composite carbon, spans three shell sizes, and targets riders who want something light, premium, and actually usable every day.
And as impressive as the carbon construction and all the safety features this helmet brings to the table are, its weight is what really stands out. Or rather, how little of it there is.
You see, the Full Carbon 6K version starts at just 2.84 pounds (around 1,290 grams), give or take a bit, while the Composite Carbon version comes in at around 2.93 pounds (around 1,330 grams). For a jet helmet that’s meant to be worn in traffic, under the sun, and potentially for longer rides, that’s a big deal. Less weight means less fatigue, less strain on your neck, and honestly, less reason to take the helmet off the moment you stop. That’s especially relevant in hot climates or slow-moving urban traffic where heavy helmets can get annoying fast.
