IGNYTE, the premium brand of Steelbird Hi-Tech India Ltd., one of the world’s largest helmet manufacturers, unveiled the Airlite Series, marking a revolutionary advancement in helmet technology. Under this series, the flagship models AI-10 and AI-14 emerge as the world’s lightest homologated motorcycle helmets, certified to the stringent ECE 22.06 (Europe) and DOT (FMVSS 218, USA) safety standards.

Weighing as low as 900 grams (ECE) and 800 grams (DOT), the Airlite Series sets a new global benchmark for ultra-light helmets, offering riders a zero-fatigue riding experience while ensuring superior impact protection. Each Airlite helmet is crafted using IGNYTE’s proprietary balloon moulding technology and features a multi-impact Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) liner, redefining the balance between safety, comfort, and weight.

Engineered with precision, the Airlite’s ultra-light fiberglass composite shell is developed through advanced balloon moulding technology, which ensures controlled resin distribution and uniform thickness across the surface, delivering exceptional strength at minimal weight. The multi-layered EPP liner absorbs and disperses energy efficiently, rebounds after impact, and provides lasting multi-impact protection — a significant upgrade from traditional EPS liners. The helmets are available with both Double D-Ring and Micrometric Buckle retention systems, offering riders the choice between professional-grade security and everyday convenience.

Adding to its rider-centric design, the Airlite features a premium interior made from imported, anti-allergic fabric that is both replaceable and washable, ensuring hygiene and long-term comfort. The optical-grade polycarbonate visor offers distortion-free visibility, scratch resistance, and UV protection for superior clarity on every ride. With dual-shell sizing for precise fit and balanced aesthetics, the Airlite ensures comfort across all head sizes. Each model is certified under ISI, ECE 22.06, and DOT standards, underscoring IGNYTE’s commitment to meeting the world’s most demanding safety requirements.

Speaking about the launch, Kashish Kapur, Director, IGNYTE, said, “With the Airlite Series, we are redefining what riders can expect from premium helmets. The AI-10 and AI-14 combine world-class safety, ultra-light engineering, and cutting-edge materials to deliver an unmatched riding experience. At IGNYTE, our goal has always been to elevate safety without compromising comfort or style — the Airlite Series is a true embodiment of that philosophy.”
