Ignyte, the premium brand of Steelbird Hi-Tech India Ltd., launched 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.

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.
