Acerbis has presented their new Steel Carbon off-road helmet, a carbon fibre lid that focuses on protection, improved comfort and ventilation plus is designed to be neck brace friendly.

The manufacturer from Bergamo in northern Italy has an impressive heritage in enduro and will be known to many Enduro21 readers for their bike parts and clothing range.

The new Steel Carbon helmet sits at the top of the ‘2021 Off-Road Collection’ and admittedly caught our eyes because of the striking shell shape and the spec details. According to Acerbis this new model was “born from the combination of the best material technology and years of on-track experience.” They should know.

Carbon fibre shell

The shell on the Steel Carbon is, as the name suggests, made of carbon fibre (no steel though!) and weighs in at around a claimed 940 grams, making it one of the lightest helmets of the enduro market.

Acerbis has also focused on making it fit “comfortably” with a neck brace, an item which we’re seeing more enduro riders use in recent times.

The interior features a soft and comfy padding which is removable, hypoallergenic, washable and features Acerbis’ own design “Comfort System” in the cheek area to improve fitment they say. The double ring closure strap also benefits from this padding to eliminate brushing on the neck.

• 940g + - 60g in size "M"
