Steelbird launches Vintage 3.0 helmet series, blending retro design with modern utility
Steelbird Helmets has introduced the Vintage 3.0 series, an open-face helmet that takes design cues from the 1970s but is built to meet the needs of today's two-wheeler riders. With cruiser motorcycles gaining traction and scooters dominating urban roads, this new model offers a functional yet style-conscious option for a wide range of users. The Vintage 3.0 aims to capture the charm of motorcycling's earlier years, while adapting to modern riding conditions. It features a unique design that works equally well for long-distance riders and daily commuters. One of its key highlights is a screw-free Quick Release Mechanism, allowing users to swap between a classic peak and a full-face visor without tools. There's also provision for Steelbird's 3-in-1 mask system and a rear strap holder designed to keep riding goggles in place — a nod to both style and practical use. In terms of safety, the helmet meets both Indian (ISI) and American (DOT) standards, making it compliant with national and international regulations. The outer shell is constructed from high-impact ABS, while the inner EPS liner is designed to absorb shock effectively. Inside, the helmet is lined with breathable mesh and soft cheek pads that can be removed and washed.
