T1 - Asphalt Grey

Plastic helmets are cheap to make. They have low rejection rates as injection moulding gives you the same product each time. Composite fiber is a complex production process. Humidity, curing times, resin content, lay up matrix, and fiber content - all play a significant role. Additionally, the surface does not come out smooth like plastic. It needs finishing to keep the perfect balance between smoothing the fivers, and not adding too much weight while filling the putty.

The workers need to be highly skilled and the number of helmet shells per mould as 4-5 per day. Injection moulds spit out lakhs per day.

These cheap plastic helmets - after a significant manufacturer margin and 30-40% retail margins, retail between 5k-9k.

We are among the lowest priced composite fiber helmets in the world. We have squeezed our margins to keep the price point approachable. And that is also why we have limited retail presence - as we are passing on that margin to the consumer rather than retailer.

At 1350 gms, Tiivra helmets are both lightweight and high performance, since they are made of composite fiber. Typically the shell and EPS add to the weight of a helmet. Plastic helmets have a thicker, heavier shell and a low density EPS (less than 40 kg/m³) - offering minimum protection. What adds to our weight is a high-density EPS. Higher the density, greater the shock absorption

Plastic caves in at the point of impact, leading to serious head injuries. Composite fiber dissipates impact across the shell saving the brain and its container. Composites have becom the 'gold' standard for performance at the highest level- be it F1, MotoGP, space tech or missiles. Apart from being able to withstand higher impact, composite fiber is also lighter than plastic, making it the obvious choice for pros and for Tiivra.

All Tiivra helmets have ISI and DOT certifications. We missed the boat on ECE 22.05 as applications closed 3rd July 2022. However, we exceed ECE standards by 70% in impact testing. Check out the lab results here.

The helmet has universal Bluetooth pockets that fit any comm system speakers

All helmets come with a 1 year warranty from date of delivery provided no modifications are made to the helmet. The warranty does not cover any plastic parts, paints or decals, or internal liners. However, these will be available for sale on the website. Read more about our warranty policy here.
