Axor Open Face Helmets
Axor open face helmets give you the old school shape with modern safety testing. They are built for city streets, scooters, cruisers and cafe racers, and every helmet in this range is certified for road use in India.
The Axor Retro Jet series is the best known, with leather trims, peaks and bubble visors in a vintage jet shape. The Kylo series is the modern alternative, with a built in spoiler and a dual visor system. You will also find carbon fibre helmets and a few designed for women riders.
Every helmet carries a one year warranty against manufacturing defects, and the size chart further down helps you get the fit right first time.
How to choose an Axor open face helmet
Start with the front of the helmet. A peak gives shade, a bubble visor gives wind protection, and the Kylo dual visor system lets you swap visors quickly. If you ride in dust or at speed, go for a visor.
Then look at the shell. Fibreglass composite is the classic choice, ABS keeps costs down and weight low, and carbon fibre is the lightest. Finally, pick the finish: gloss shows off paint, matt hides fingerprints and dust.
Riders often search for Axor half face helmets when they mean this style. Strictly, a half face helmet covers less of the head and usually has no visor, while the helmets on this page cover down to the ears and most have a peak or visor.
Be honest about where you ride. An open face helmet leaves your jaw uncovered, so it is a better match for city commuting and relaxed rides than for long highway runs. For that kind of riding, browse our wider range of open face helmets.
Certifications explained
ISI is the Indian standard, and it is what the law asks for on any two wheeler helmet sold in India. DOT FMVSS 218 is the US standard, and ECE 22.06 is the newest European one. The Retro Jet helmets here carry ISI and mostly DOT, while the Kylo helmets carry all three. Each product page lists exactly what that helmet has.

How to measure: wrap a tape around your head, one inch above your eyebrows, and read the number in centimetres. The helmet should sit snug and should not move when you shake your head. A loose helmet can come off in an impact.
Our helmet fitting guide explains what to check once the helmet is on.
Looking after your helmet
Wipe the shell with a soft cloth and mild soap, hand wash removable liners, and keep the visor away from rough sponges. The helmet maintenance guide has the full routine.
