The Open-Face Advantage

Pair it with vintage goggles for the complete retro look, or ride with sunglasses for a more casual style.
Why the Gringo is a Modern Classic
When Biltwell introduced the Gringo, it filled a void in the market for riders seeking authentic vintage styling with modern safety certifications. Its clean lines, quality construction, and accessible price point made retro helmets mainstream. Today, the Gringo remains the benchmark for open-face helmets—the original that inspired countless imitators but has never been matched for its combination of style, safety, and value.
The helmet that started it all. The Biltwell Gringo delivers timeless open-face styling with DOT-approved safety and the quality construction that made it a modern icon.

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

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
Collectible status — anniversary graphics retired permanently once sold out

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.
