Airoh 'Strycker'
Italian helmet manufacturer Airoh (Locatelli Spa) has released a new off-roader, the 'Strycker', with a three-size HPC outer shell "to ensure the best possible fit".
Features include anti-allergenic, breathable and fully removable inner lining equipped with AEFR (Airoh Emergency Fast Release) and the company's "revolutionary" AMS2 (Airoh Multi-action Safety System).
This allows the management, channelling and reduction of the energy generated in angular impacts - statistically by far the most common kind of helmet impact. The state-of-the-art ventilation system features five air vents and two rear extractors, developed in response to the aerodynamic testing and development of the helmet shell shape.
This has been a big year for the Airoh brand in race terms, with Locatelli being a big supporter of racing right from its beginnings - especially of emerging riders.
Angela Locatelli told IDN: "From the beginning there was the will to get involved and help riders share our values, improving talent and, above all, supporting and sharing the real core passion for the sport.
"Our goal was and remains to contribute to help racers realise their dream. For this reason, we especially try to help the youngest, those who are taking their first steps in the world of competitions, to support and encourage them in achieving their objective, to make them become tomorrow’s champions."

One such has been Airoh's support of rookie Andrea Locatelli, who took this year's World SSP Championship by a spectacular margin on the Bardahl Evan Bros. Yamaha YZF R6. In 2020 he won all but one race, and even then, it was only the weather that stopped him. He wrapped the title race up with some four races to go.
This year saw Airoh conquer no less than eight world titles in total - reaching 103 world titles in just 23 years.
"Our first world title was achieved in 2005 with a young Antonio Cairoli in MX2 class, from there, every year we have added to our prize list, collaborating with great riders and great people. To pass 100 world titles in such a short time is really incredible - but we are not going to stop there. We will continue to support the champions of today and tomorrow."
