Fitment
The Gringo SV is ECE 22.06 compliant and comes in three shell sizes as compared to the 22.05 model which used only two shells. This means the fit is more accurate and comfortable, especially in the Medium and XXL sizes. Please note the measurements in the revised sizing chart for all the new helmet models before placing an order.
Size Chart
Note: the new Gringo SV helmet is not compatible with the optics & helmet accessories of previous Biltwell helmet models because the closure has been improved.
