SMK Typhoon Helmets
The SMK Typhoon is built for riders who want one helmet that works for both a spirited weekend ride and a longer highway stretch. Every smk typhoon helmet uses an energy impact resistant thermoplastic shell with Double D-ring retention, paired with a Pinlock 70 ready visor and a built-in inner sun visor, so you're not caught out switching lenses when the light changes on a long ride.
Within SMK's range, Typhoon sits a step above the entry-level Stellar on finish and visor system, which is why it's one of the models we point riders toward when they ask about highway touring. Eight graphics are available, from the racing-inspired Sparko and Rival to the more understated Sports Tourer and Reptile, so you can match the look to how aggressive you want the helmet to feel.
Every smk typhoon helmet is ECE 22.06, DOT, and ISI certified, and channeled air intakes with a breath deflector keep it comfortable whether you're commuting through traffic or holding highway speed for an hour at a stretch.
- Pinlock 70 ready visor with inner sun visor: No fumbling for sunglasses when the light changes mid-ride.
- ECE 22.06, DOT and ISI certified: Certified protection, not just touring-ready styling.
- 8 graphics across matt and gloss: From racing-inspired Sparko and Rival to understated Sports Tourer and Reptile.
- Double D-ring retention: A secure, adjustable fit for longer rides.
- SMK Typhoon helmets are now SHARP 4-star rated (sharp.dft.gov.uk/helmets/smk-typhoon).
FAQs
Q1: What makes the smk typhoon helmet different from the SMK Stellar?
A1: Typhoon adds a Pinlock 70 ready visor with a built-in inner sun visor, features the Stellar doesn't have, along with a sport-touring shell built more for sustained highway use. Stellar focuses on sportier styling at a lower price, while Typhoon leans toward comfort over longer rides.
Q2: Is the SMK Typhoon good for daily highway riding?
A2: Yes, this is one of the ranges we'd point riders toward for regular highway use. The Pinlock-ready visor, inner sun visor, and channeled ventilation are built around longer rides rather than just short commutes.
Q3: Which SMK Typhoon graphic should I pick?
A3: It depends on the look you want. Rival and Sparko lean into bold, racing-inspired graphics, Azonix and Trance go for a more modern or eye-catching finish, and Sports Tourer or Reptile suit riders who want the same features with a calmer design.
Q4: Is the SMK Typhoon certified for road use in India?
A4: Yes, every smk typhoon helmet carries ECE 22.06, DOT, and ISI certification, the standards required for road-legal use in India.
Q5: Does the SMK Typhoon come with an anti-fog visor?
A5: The visor is Pinlock 70 ready, meaning it's designed to accept a Pinlock anti-fog insert, though the insert itself is typically sold separately. Check the individual product page to confirm what's included in the box.
