The Gringo is Biltwell's first DOT-compliant full-face helmet. This retro-inspired skid lid ditches trendy vents and gizmos to create a stripped-down aesthetic that screams "low tech" and "high speed" in the same breath. Construction features include a seamless injection-molded ABS outer shell, shock-absorbing EPS inner shell and a removable, hand-stitched comfort liner with open-cell foam and brushed Lycra construction. The comfortable chinstrap is adorned with brushed Lycra material on touch points and features a flat D-ring fastener with an adjustable snap end retainer. Molded Bio-Foam padding inside the Gringo's chin bar picks up the liner's stitched diamond pattern with contrasting thread that matches the ventilated polyester panels inside. Five snaps around the Gringo's eye port facilitate easy installation of a Biltwell bubble shield or Blast shield (each sold separately).
The Gringo takes its '60s motorsport aesthetic and elevates it to modern ECE motorcycle standards - the European safety protocol recognized by independent labs as the toughest in the world. With added EPS safety foam, these helmets offer a more secure fit on the lower portion / cheek area than the previous DOT only version.
