Any euro friends on here with experience with this brand and this model helmet? They are reasonably priced and appear to be high end for the price. Wondering any feedback on the safety and quality of them.
But it lacks any rotational impact system. Many other helmets in that mid range has MIPS or something similar. The biggest USP for the Ace is the low weight, 1040g +-50g.
Edit: Like Tuna mentioned below, the Ace has its own rotational impact system with the mesh netting. I forgot that.
Bought all of them off 24MX. Love them. As mentioned above no MIPS style feature like the new 2.3 but the Ace has a mesh netting system built into the helmet that is supposed to help reduce impact force.
I paid $260 US for my 2.2 and $300 For my Aces.
The Shop
Are you getting hit with customs charges or brokerage at the door when you order gear from 24MX ?
Same organization and owners.
They don’t have much stock at all. They are still selling the 2.2. No Aviator Ace.
If you live in Canada you’d be foolish to not order from 24MX. I paid $260 US for my 2.2 and $300 for my Aces.
Does any one know if the Aviator Ace Visor (aka “peak” ) screws are the same as the Aviator 3 visor screws?
My Ace visor screw tops snapped off just trying to tighten them. The only place to buy them looks like either chrome burner or some italian place that says they wont ship for 20 days (borderline scammy)…
I’ve had other Airohs, Arai, 6D, Troy Lee, Shoei and don't like any of them as well as the good ole Ace. It’s as light as the MX Jump from Suomy and seemed like better quality til the visor screw tops just broke off tightening them to a normal tension… 🤷🏻♂️
I have a brand new Ace I havent even unwrapped it yet. But if they dont sell the visor screws thats pretty lame. Only option we have in the US for those screws may be to lazer print them at the fab shop I guess. Seems idiotic to sell the visors but no screws if the screws break easier than the visor does.

Find another visor screw from a different helmet and try it.
Great helmets, all I've ever worn. Super light. My wife and I have owned half a dozen or more over the years. Chromeburner is a good source, Burnout Italy as well, shipping is no sweat.
At least from a purely visual standpoint they looks similar to the Just1 visor screws and they're both Euro brands, so maybe worth a try if you can get hold of those.
You'd assume a lot of visor screws would be a bog standard M6 thread or similar though.
I can check when I get home later this week.
Regarding the screws snapping off, same has happened to me with the Aviator 3's. Once on the startgate before a rain moto
Yah, I really gotta use the lightest Moto helmet possible. I have a nerve pinch issue in my neck that always turns into a problem when I wear bigger heavier helmets at the motocross track. 6D’s Arias and the new gigantic bobble head Airoh helmets cause me to get a Crickens Neck if I ride more than 2 days in a row with them. With the Airoh Ace or Suomy MX Jump I never have a single problem with stiff necks after riding, even when I ride 3 days in a row. 🤷🏻♂️
I will always buy the lightest legit MX helmet for that reason. I even buy them in bulk (2 to 3 at a time) every other year just in case they decide to stop making them.
If they ever quit making light helmets I’d even be tempted to just use a MTB helmet instead. 🤡
Absolutely love my Ace, if you're not to concerned about being able to adjust the screws with your fingers, any metric screw that is the same pitch and id should work, I would try computer shops as they have really good array of mounting screw that hold motherboards on etc
Super light and the venting is great.I have neck problems ,so light weight is a must, I also have the open face version for when I'm on trials bikes.
Bought from Motostorm In Italy, showed at my house in a week.
Go for the airoh wraap. They look exactly the same as the new aviator 3, but theyre only $106 vs $450 for the ace which is an old design. Unbeatable deal.
Its really cool that they now give you the nice style of their premium helmet but made with less expensive materials so they can sell it at a muuuuch lower price point. In previous years in order to get a cheaper helmet you had to go with one of their noticeably crappier and cheaper looking helmets that looked completely different. Now you get the same premium look as the aviator helmet in a cheaper package. Smart move, theyre gonna sell them like hot cakes.
