The Stelvio is ADN’s flagship full-face and the model that best represents what the brand is about: proper safety certification, clean Italian design, and a feature set that punches well above its price point. The integrated sun visor alone sets it apart from many competitors — one flick of the lever and you are shielded from glare without stopping to change visors.
The hypoallergenic, fully removable interior makes daily use genuinely practical. The micrometric buckle is fast and easy to operate even with gloves on. With sizes from XS to XXL and a generous selection of both solid and graphic colorways (including the striking Fury and Warmup graphic ranges), the Stelvio covers a wide variety of tastes.
Best for: Daily commuters, new riders, touring on a budget, anyone who wants a full-featured full-face without compromising on safety certification.

View the ADN Veloce on ADN Helmets
- Type: Full-face Sport
- Shell: Thermoplastic polycarbonate
- Certification: ECE 22.06
- Visor: 2mm anti-scratch, easy-change
- Sun visor: None
- Closure: Micrometric buckle
- Pinlock: Ready
- Interior: Removable, washable, hypoallergenic
- Design: Sport/aggressive, compact shell
- Sizes: XS to XL
- Colors: Nero Opaco, Nardo Grey
The Veloce takes a different design philosophy from the Stelvio. Where the Stelvio prioritises versatility, the Veloce prioritises a compact, aggressive sport silhouette. There is no sun visor — this is a deliberate choice in favour of a tighter, more aerodynamic shell profile that sits well on sport bikes.
The Pinlock-ready visor ensures you can add anti-fog protection for colder rides. The interior is fully removable and washable, and the micrometric buckle keeps things practical. If you ride a naked bike or a supersport and want a helmet that looks and feels the part without reaching for premium-tier pricing, the Veloce is the ADN answer.
Best for: Sport bike riders, naked bike enthusiasts, riders who prefer a no-sun-visor setup with a clean, compact profile.
ADN Spritz: The Compact Italian Jet Helmet
View the ADN Spritz on ADN Helmets
- Type: Open-face / Jet
- Shell: Thermoplastic polycarbonate
- Certification: ECE 22.06
- Visor: Anti-scratch polycarbonate, removable, quick-release
- Sun visor: None
- Closure: Micrometric buckle
- Interior: Removable, washable
- Key feature: Compact enough to fit under a motorcycle seat
- Sizes: XS to XL
- Colors: Nero Opaco, Bianco Puro, Titanio Blu Metal, Rosa Amaranto
The Spritz is built for urban life. Its defining feature is a genuinely compact shell that fits under most motorcycle seats — a detail that sounds minor until you actually need it and discover your full-face helmet won’t fit anywhere. For scooter riders and city motorcyclists who make frequent stops, this is a practical advantage that changes how you use the helmet day to day.
The Italian design shows in the four color options, including the distinctive Rosa Amaranto. The quick-release visor makes changing or removing the shield fast and tool-free. ECE 22.06 certified, so despite its compact form, it meets current European safety standards fully.
Best for: Scooter riders, urban commuters, anyone who values compactness and easy storage over maximum wind protection.
ADN Cosmo: The Feature-Rich Jet for Daily Riding
View the ADN Cosmo on ADN Helmets

- Interior: Removable, washable, intercom-compatible

The Cosmo is the more complete of ADN’s two jet helmets. Where the Spritz focuses on compactness, the Cosmo focuses on day-long usability. The integrated drop-down sun visor is the standout feature — essential for daily riding where you move between shaded streets and bright open roads multiple times per trip. The sun visor is removable without tools, so you can take it out for night rides or maintenance quickly.
The intercom-compatible interior is a practical touch for riders who use communication systems. The anti-theft ring lets you lock the helmet to the bike. Adjustable four-vent ventilation keeps airflow manageable in warmer weather. Pinlock compatibility means you can deal with winter fogging too. The XS-to-XXL size range makes it accessible for a wide variety of head shapes.
Best for: Daily commuters who want the open-face experience with proper sun protection, intercom users, riders with larger head sizes.
ADN Audace: The Flip-Up That Does It All
View the ADN Audace on ADN Helmets
- Type: Modular / Flip-up
- Shell: Thermoplastic polycarbonate
- Certification: ECE 22.06 (P homologation — can be used open AND closed)
- Visor: 2mm anti-scratch polycarbonate, multi-position
- Sun visor: Integrated, multi-position
- Closure: Micrometric buckle
- Pinlock: Ready
- Interior: Removable, washable, hypoallergenic
- Extras: Aerodynamic spoiler, anti-fog nose guard
- Sizes: XS to XXL
- Variants: Solid (Nero, Bianco), Pulsar (4 graphic colors), Tourer (3 graphic colors)
The Audace is ADN’s answer to riders who want the protection of a full-face with the convenience of an open-face. The flip-up chin bar mechanism lets you flip the front open at traffic lights, petrol stations or when you just want to say a quick word to someone — without removing the helmet. Crucially, the Audace holds ECE 22.06 P homologation, meaning it is certified for use both open and closed. Not all modular helmets carry this rating.
The integrated sun visor, Pinlock-ready setup and aerodynamic spoiler make this a genuinely touring-capable helmet. Glasses wearers in particular benefit from the flip-up design, which makes putting on and taking off the helmet much more manageable. The choice between Solid, Pulsar and Tourer finishes means there is an Audace for every style preference.
Best for: Touring riders, commuters who wear glasses, anyone who wants full-face protection with the convenience of quick access, long-distance riders.
ADN Duale: Built for the Adventure Rider
View the ADN Duale on ADN Helmets
The Duale is ADN’s adventure and trail offering — a modular flip-up helmet designed specifically for the dual-sport and adventure bike market. It pairs the practicality of a flip-up chin bar with a peaked visor designed for off-road riding, where sun, rain and debris come at you from unexpected angles.
ECE 22.06 certified and built with a lightweight construction, the Duale is suited to long mixed-road journeys where you transition between motorway sections and forest tracks. Adventure riders who spend time on unsealed roads will appreciate the peak visor’s protective function beyond its visual appeal.
Best for: Adventure bike riders, dual-sport enthusiasts, riders who mix on-road and off-road routes.
ADN Mojito: The Retro Jet for Classic Style
View the ADN Mojito on ADN Helmets
The Mojito brings ADN’s safety standards to the retro and classic bike scene. Styled with clean, vintage-inspired lines, it pairs well with cafe racers, scramblers, and classic motorcycles where the look of the rider is as considered as the look of the machine.
ECE 22.06 certified, the Mojito proves that retro aesthetics and modern safety are not mutually exclusive. For riders who want the classic jet helmet silhouette without sacrificing current European certification, the Mojito is the ADN choice.
Best for: Cafe racer riders, classic motorcycle enthusiasts, retro-style commuters.
How to Choose: Matching Helmet Type to Riding Style
Urban and City Riding
For city use, open-face helmets offer excellent peripheral vision and are easier to communicate in. The Spritz is the most compact option, fitting under the seat when parked — ideal for scooters and short journeys. The Cosmo adds more features (sun visor, ventilation, intercom compatibility) for riders who spend longer periods in the saddle. If you prefer full-face protection in the city, the Stelvio is the natural choice.
Daily Commuting
Commuters benefit from versatility. The Audace modular helmet is exceptionally practical here — you can flip the chin bar up at traffic lights and petrol stations without removing the helmet. The Stelvio with its integrated sun visor handles the changing light conditions of a daily commute extremely well.
Sport and Performance Riding
For sport bikes and performance-focused riding, the Veloce delivers the compact, aerodynamic profile that suits an aggressive riding position. Its sport design is more at home on a litre-class naked or supersport than the more upright Stelvio.
Touring and Long Distance
Long-distance touring demands comfort, weather management and convenience. The Audace excels here — the flip-up chin bar makes rest stops and refuelling easier, and the ECE 22.06 P homologation means it is fully certified for highway speeds in both open and closed configuration. The Stelvio is a solid full-face touring option too, with its integrated sun visor and Pinlock-ready setup.
Adventure and Dual-Sport
There is a clear answer here: the Duale. Built specifically for adventure riding with its peak visor and modular flip-up design, it handles the demands of mixed on/off-road riding that a standard touring helmet would not be optimised for.
Classic and Retro Bikes
The Mojito is purpose-designed for the classic and retro scene. Its vintage-inspired jet helmet silhouette pairs naturally with cafe racers and classic bikes while maintaining ECE 22.06 safety standards.
Every ADN Helmet Is ECE 22.06 Certified
This is worth emphasising: every helmet in the ADN catalog — Stelvio, Veloce, Spritz, Cosmo, Audace, Duale, Mojito — carries ECE 22.06 certification. This is the current European standard, which replaced ECE 22.05. It includes more demanding impact tests, rotational impact testing (MIPS-type scenarios), and stricter visor and retention system requirements.
Buying any ADN helmet means buying a helmet that has been independently tested and certified to current European standards. This is not a marketing claim — it is a legal requirement backed by laboratory testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which ADN helmet is best for a first-time rider?
The ADN Stelvio is the most well-rounded choice for a first helmet. It is a full-face design (maximum protection), ECE 22.06 certified, comes with an integrated sun visor, and is available in sizes from XS to XXL. The micrometric buckle is easy to use, and the removable, washable interior keeps things practical for regular use.
Do ADN helmets fit large head sizes?
Several ADN models are available up to XXL: the Stelvio, Cosmo, Audace and Duale all go up to XXL. The Veloce and Spritz top out at XL. Always check the brand’s specific size chart using your head circumference measurement (measured at forehead level, above the eyebrows) before ordering.
What is the difference between the Stelvio and the Audace?
The Stelvio is a traditional full-face helmet — the chin bar is fixed. The Audace is a modular (flip-up) helmet where the entire chin bar and visor assembly raises up. Both have integrated sun visors and are ECE 22.06 certified. The Audace also holds P homologation, meaning it is certified for use in both the open and closed position. The Audace is generally preferred by touring riders and people who wear glasses, while the Stelvio appeals to those who want a more compact, traditional full-face form.
Is the ADN Spritz really small enough to fit under a seat?
Yes. The Spritz was specifically designed with seat storage in mind. Its shell dimensions are notably more compact than a typical full-face helmet, and it is smaller even than many other jet helmets. That said, actual fit will depend on the storage space under your specific bike or scooter seat — we recommend measuring your under-seat compartment before relying on this feature.
Can I use an ADN modular helmet with the chin bar open?
The ADN Audace carries ECE 22.06 P homologation, which certifies it for use both open and closed. This is an important distinction — some modular helmets are only certified for use with the chin bar closed. The P marking on the Audace means you can legally ride with the chin bar up under the ECE 22.06 standard.
Where can I try an ADN helmet before buying?
ADN Helmets maintains a network of physical retailers across Europe where you can try helmets in person before purchasing. Visit adn-helmets.com/en/physical-stores/ to find your nearest authorised dealer. Trying a helmet in person is always recommended — sizing varies between models and head shapes, and a properly fitted helmet is fundamental to both comfort and safety.
Conclusion: There Is an ADN Helmet for Every Rider
ADN Helmets has built a catalog that genuinely covers the full spectrum of motorcycling. Whether you are a daily urban commuter who needs the compactness of the Spritz, a touring rider who wants the practicality of the Audace flip-up, or a sport rider drawn to the aggressive lines of the Veloce, there is an ADN helmet matched to your needs.
The common thread across every model is the ECE 22.06 certification — a genuine safety baseline that gives you confidence regardless of which family you choose. Pair that with clean Italian design, practical features and a wide size range, and ADN Helmets represents a compelling choice in the accessible helmet market.
