"This year marks our 20th year in business. We're eternally grateful for all the fun we've had and the friends we've made along the way. To celebrate this milestone, we produced a limited run of 20th anniversary helmets with matching paint and custom comfort liners. These will definitely sell out, so pick a favorite and pull the trigger!" — Biltwell Inc.

Twenty Years. One Helmet Worth Celebrating.

The Biltwell Gringo S 20th Anniversary Limited Edition takes everything riders love about the modern classic Gringo S — the clean retro silhouette, integrated hinged shield, dual ECE R22.06 & DOT certification — and wraps it in exclusive anniversary livery with a custom comfort liner made only for this milestone run. One batch. No restocks. No second chances.

If you've been on the fence about a Gringo S, this is the version you'll wish you hadn't missed.

Why Riders Choose the Gringo S

• Exclusive 20th Anniversary paint — one-time production run, never reproduced
• Custom anniversary comfort liner — not available on any standard Gringo S model
• Integrated hinged shield — smooth 3-position detents for on-the-fly adjustment
• ECE R22.06 & DOT FMVSS 218 certified — meets the latest European and North American safety standards
• Three shell sizes — proportional fit across all head sizes for optimal comfort and safety
• Lightweight ABS shell — durable construction comfortable for all-day wear
• Double D-ring closure — secure, reliable retention preferred by experienced riders
• Collectible status — anniversary graphics retired permanently once sold out

Replacement Shields & Accessories

Customize your Gringo S or keep a spare on hand with our Biltwell Gringo S/SV replacement shields — available in clear, chrome mirror, and dark smoke, all with 100% UV protection and anti-scratch coating. For a dialled-in fit, check out our Biltwell Gringo S cheek pads in multiple thickness options.

Technical Specifications

• Shell: ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
• Safety: ECE R22.06 & DOT FMVSS 218 certified
• Shell Sizes: Three sizes for proportional fit
• Shield: Integrated hinged shield with 3-position detents

• Weight: Approximately 1250–1400g (varies by size)
• Graphics: Exclusive 20th Anniversary — limited production only
• Sizes: Small to 2XLarge

Why This One Is Different

The standard Gringo S is already a modern icon. This 20th anniversary version is a one-time milestone release — produced to mark two decades of Biltwell building gear for riders who don't follow the crowd. The anniversary paint and custom liner won't appear on any future model. Once this batch sells through, these are gone for good — making this a genuine collector's piece, not just another helmet.

Limited quantities available. Ships from Ontario. No restocks once sold out.
