New Delhi, 6th August 2025 — Steelbird Helmets, India’s leading helmet manufacturer, proudly announces the launch of its latest innovation — the Vintage 3.0 Series, an open-face helmet inspired by the golden era of motorcycling, yet engineered for the needs of today’s riders. With the growing popularity of cruiser biking and the rising dominance of scooters across Indian cities, the Vintage 3.0 comes as a stylish and practical response to a changing two-wheeler landscape.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic helmet designs of the 1970s, the Vintage 3.0 revives the retro spirit with a bold, modern twist. It’s tailored for those who value freedom, individuality, and classic aesthetics. The helmet delivers on both style and performance, offering superior protection, all-day comfort, and the kind of versatility modern rider’s demand. Whether it’s a Royal Enfield cruiser or a Vespa scooter, the Vintage 3.0 has been designed to match the personality and practicality required by both urban commuters and highway tourers.
Speaking about the launch, Rajeev Kapur, Managing Director of Steelbird Helmets, said: “At Steelbird, we don’t just make helmets — we create riding companions that reflect a rider’s identity. The Vintage 3.0 is a salute to motorcycling heritage, combining retro design with cutting-edge safety and unmatched comfort. It’s for riders who want to stand out, stay safe, and feel free on every ride.”
At the core of the Vintage 3.0 is an advanced screw-free Quick Release Mechanism that allows riders to easily switch between the heritage-style peak and a full protective visor — all without the need for tools or screws. For added compatibility and personalization, the helmet is also designed to accommodate Steelbird’s 3-in-1 mask system and comes with a rear elastic strap holder to anchor riding goggles securely, offering a seamless blend of style and utility.
The helmet meets dual safety certifications, conforming to both ISI (IS 4151:2015) and international DOT (FMVSS 218, USA) standards. Its high-impact ABS outer shell ensures durability under demanding riding conditions, while the high-density EPS liner works to reduce crash impact forces. The inner liner features breathable mesh and soft, removable cheek pads that can be washed and reinstalled, keeping the helmet fresh and comfortable during long or frequent rides.
Adding to its premium offering, the optical-grade visor is crafted from high-quality polycarbonate that provides excellent visual clarity, UV protection, and scratch resistance. The micrometric quick-release buckle system is tested to endure up to 225 kg of load, aligning with stringent European norms for rider safety. With a lightweight design — weighing approximately 1000 ± 50g — the helmet ensures reduced neck fatigue, making it ideal for extended use on highways or in traffic.
The Vintage Classic is available in a vibrant palette of 15 striking colors, including standout shades like Sea Blue, Coral Peach, Cherry Red, Battle Green, Armada Blue, and Glossy Black. It comes in three shell sizes — Medium (580 mm), Large (600 mm), and Extra Large (620 mm) — to ensure a secure, comfortable fit for a wide range of riders.
Rediscover the spirit of riding. Wear your story. Ride with the Vintage Classic — because legends were never meant to fade.
