Steelbird Hi-Tech India has added another feather to its cap by launching a range that is vintage-inspired. The new lineup is available in three models — SBH-54, SBH-55 and SBH-56. The vintage series starts from Rs 959 to Rs 1199.
Speaking about the launch, Rajeev Kapur, Managing Director of Steelbird Helmets, said, “India witnesses 53 road accidents and 19 fatalities every hour, with 45 per cent of these involving two-wheelers. It is imperative for riders to prioritize safety without compromising style. With the launch of our SBH Vintage series, we aim to provide helmets that not only meet global safety standards but also appeal to riders seeking a distinctive and comfortable design.”
Steelbird Vintage series: What is it?
The SBH Vintage series helmets are designed for both style and safety, featuring a robust thermoplastic shell that provides impact resistance without compromising on weight. The high-density EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) liner boosts rider protection by effectively absorbing shocks in the event of an impact. The helmets come equipped with a polycarbonate (PC) anti-scratch visor, finished in chrome that combines durability with a retro aesthetic.
Riders can select from three visor options: a small visor, a long visor, or the option to go without a visor, allowing for a customizable look and feel. A distinctive leather strap at the back adds a nostalgic vintage flair, while the comfortable, snug interior ensures a perfect fit, even on longer journeys. The quick-release micro-metric buckle offers convenience, making it easy to securely fasten and remove the helmet.
As a half-face design, the SBH Vintage helmets provide ventilation while still offering head protection. The vintage range is available in three sizes – Medium (580mm), Large (600mm), and X-Large (620mm).
