Steelbird A1 Ares series helmets launched in India at Rs 2,499

Indian helmet manufacturer, Steelbird has introduced a new high-end series of helmets, the A1 Ares. The new series gets various graphic options and a host of features such as single button flip-up function, a visor locking system, a PC-ABS blend shell, an anti-theft ring, sweat resistance, "phase change 360 degree temperature control" (we are unsure what that entails), and glow-in-the-dark graphics. The helmets adhere to ISI standards. It is worth considering that modular helmets do not offer any increased safety over open faced units since the flip-up jaw region is not a structural element of the helmet.
