The FIM is pleased to announce additional FIM homologated helmets under the FRHPhe-02, including the new ACERBIS and AIROH off-road models, and the SHARK circuit racing model.
The FIM applauds ACERBIS, AIROH and SHARK as they introduce additional FIM homologated helmets, under this new programme, which will be permitted in FIM Championships with immediate effect. These helmet models come with a standard ECE 22-06 certification, plus they have successfully passed all tests of the FIM Helmet Standard FRHPhe-02 that will be mandatory in 2026 in FIM championships.
For the Off-road models, the ACERBIS AIRSTRIKE FIM RACING#2 helmet model is available in XS, S & M sizes, the AIROH AVIATOR 3 EVO model in all sizes from XS to XXL. Available in all sizes from XS to XXL, the SHARK AERON GP FIM RACING#2 helmet model has been homologated for circuit racing use.
The homologation of these helmet models is confirmed by the mandatory presence of the FIM homologation label sewn on the chin strap.
From the outset the aim of the FRHPhe-02 was to improve riders’ head protection in other disciplines. Phase 02 was established, with the collaboration of the helmet manufacturers back in 2022, in order to define a new standard that goes above and beyond the existing ones on the market (e.g., UN ECE 22.06, Snell M2020, JIS T8133), and above the FRHPhe-01.
Relative to the standards previously referred to, the FRHPhe-02 standards have undergone an enhanced and more complete evaluation of their performance, in addition to being previously certified as compliant with an international standard. This includes new threshold requirements and new impacts and tests, such as new impact tests against oblique anvils, impact tests against hemispherical anvils (to measure rotational solicitations generated in impacts), a quick-removal cheek pad test, and the introduction of a Skull Fracture Criterion (SFC).
