The Gringo helmet range has been a top choice among modern bike riders since Biltwell introduced it over a decade ago. Their latest Gringo S helmet not only meets DOT regulations in the US, it also meets the new European ECE 22.06 regulations, and therefore it is street legal in Europe, the UK and Australia.

Fitment
Please follow the instructions in the sizing chart before ordering a new helmet in the same size as your current model. To meet Europe's new, more robust standards for impact attenuation and rider safety, ECE R22.06-certified helmets may fit you more snugly than previous models. The new ECE 22.06 compliant helmets now come in three shell sizes as compared to the previous 22.05 models which used only two shells. This means the fit is more accurate and comfortable, especially in the Medium and XXL sizes. NOTE: All Biltwell helmets have interchangeable cheek pads, so you can fine-tune the comfort of your helmet against your cheeks and face for a perfect fit.
Size Chart
Note: The new R22.06 Gringo S will not work with the old Gringo S shields because the closure has been improved. Reach out to our team if you are considering a replacement shield for this helmet and need assistance with styles and colours available in Australia.
