An old favorite but now with a new fit and new features. Our latest Gringo S helmet not only meets DOT regulations in the US, it also meets the new European ECE 22.06 regs. The shield mechanism now uses the same anti-rattle closure featured on our Lane Splitter helmets. Three shell sizes replace the previous two for improved fit and comfort.
Note: The new R22.06 Gringo S will not work with the old Gringo S shields because the closure has been improved. Replacement shields in different tints available here.

Helmet Fitment
Our new ECE 22.06 compliant helmets now come in three shell sizes as compared to the 22.05 model which used only two shells. This means the fit is more accurate and comfortable, especially in the Medium and XXL sizes. Please note the measurements in our revised sizing chart before ordering a new helmet in the same size as your current model.
NOTE: Biltwell offers accessory cheek pads so you can fine-tune the tightness of your helmet around your jaw and face.
