Excellence through competition.
A never-ending process.

The path that leads to the birth of a helmet is an endless process because the pursuit of excellence must be endless for those who, like us, always want to improve, without settling or compromising.


The helmet comes from an idea, it is figment of the imagination, like everything around us. A mental vision that then must be realized through drawings, 3D and physical models, up to a concrete sample which will be tested in every single part, to optimize its forms, to emphasize its performance.


Behind a finished helmet and the start of actual production there are multiple steps that involve various tests, many of which are completed with the help of our wind tunnel and certified internal test laboratory. These tools are also essential and useful for verifying full compliance with the safety parameters established and imposed by national and international regulations.


There are obviously also actual tests on the road and/or on track, carried out both by our riders and internal staff; since, at Airoh, we don't only provide our professional skills but also our experience as motorcyclists, as two-wheel lovers who are committed to creating something perfect and functional, which can really enhance the riding pleasure.

At the end of the product testing and control phase, can start a further step that provides for the creation of captivating graphics to allow each motorcyclist to choose the one he likes best or that best matches his equipment.


As regards the actual production, it is entrusted to the expert hands of the qualified and specialized staff who make up the various assembly and control lines. This reinforces how important is the so-called “human factor”, for us at Airoh, it is simply fundamental to increase the value of our helmets.


Therefore, maximum attention is paid to even the smallest and seemingly insignificant detail that, not only in the early steps, but also and above all during production and
after-sales assistance, to offer a complete an efficient service.

La macchina prende invece piede quando si tratta di verificare il rispetto dei parametri di sicurezza imposti dalle normative nazionali ed internazionali. Il Crash-Lab interno compie severi test che superano brillantemente gli standard delle leggi in materia di sicurezza e certificano l’assoluta eccellenza di ogni singolo casco Airoh.
