<\/p>\n

ADN Helmets makes two full-face helmets: the Stelvio<\/strong> and the Veloce<\/strong>. Both are ECE 22.06 certified. Both use thermoplastic polycarbonate shells. Both come with micrometric buckles and removable, washable interiors. And yet they are designed for quite different riders.<\/p>\n

If you are standing between these two models trying to decide, this comparison will give you a clear answer. We cover every meaningful spec difference, the design philosophy behind each helmet, and the riding profiles they suit best. By the end, you will know exactly which one to choose \u2014 and why.<\/p>\n

ADN Stelvio: The Versatile All-Rounder<\/h2>\n

View the ADN Stelvio on ADN Helmets<\/a><\/p>\n

The Stelvio takes its name from the famous alpine pass in northern Italy \u2014 and the parallel is fitting. Just as the Stelvio Pass handles everything from sports cars to touring motorcycles, the Stelvio helmet is designed to handle everything a daily rider might encounter.<\/p>\n

The Integrated Sun Visor: The Stelvio’s Key Advantage<\/h3>\n

The most significant differentiator between these two helmets is the Stelvio’s integrated drop-down sun visor. This is not a luxury extra \u2014 for real-world riding it is a daily convenience. Riding into morning sun, under bright motorway conditions, or navigating between shadowed streets and open plazas all become less of a visor-change juggling act. One lever flick and you are protected.<\/p>\n

The sun visor on the Stelvio is multi-position adjustable \u2014 you can set it to different depths depending on the angle of the sun, rather than being stuck with fully in or fully out. This level of control is genuinely useful.<\/p>\n

Colour and Customisation Options<\/h3>\n

The Stelvio offers a significantly wider palette than the Veloce. Three solid colors (Nero Opaco, Bianco Puro, Titanio Blu Metal) give classic options, while the Fury and Warmup graphic ranges add bold designs for riders who want something that stands out. Seven graphic colorways across those two ranges means there is a Stelvio for every taste.<\/p>\n

Size Range: XS to XXL<\/h3>\n

The Stelvio’s XS-to-XXL size range is broader than the Veloce’s, covering riders with larger head circumferences who might be left without options at XL. If you are between a large and extra-large, or know your head falls at the larger end of the scale, the Stelvio is the only ADN full-face that accommodates you.<\/p>\n

Who the Stelvio is For<\/h3>\n

The Stelvio suits daily commuters, touring riders, new motorcyclists buying their first helmet, and anyone who values versatility and feature completeness. The integrated sun visor, generous size range and multiple colour options make it the more practical choice for everyday use.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ADN Veloce: Purpose-Built for Sport Riding<\/h2>\n

View the ADN Veloce on ADN Helmets<\/a><\/p>\n

The Veloce takes a deliberately stripped-back approach. Everything about its design points toward one goal: a compact, aerodynamic, sport-oriented full-face helmet. The word “veloce” is Italian for “fast” \u2014 and the design intent is consistent with that name.<\/p>\n

No Sun Visor: A Deliberate Design Choice<\/h3>\n

The absence of an integrated sun visor on the Veloce is not an oversight or a cost-cutting measure. Integrating a sun visor mechanism into a helmet adds volume to the shell and increases overall bulk. The Veloce prioritises a tighter, more compact shell profile \u2014 which is what sport riders on performance bikes actually want.<\/p>\n

On a sport bike where your riding position pushes you forward and low, a more compact helmet profile is aerodynamically and ergonomically better. The Veloce’s aggressive silhouette also looks more in keeping with a supersport or naked sport bike than the Stelvio’s touring-friendly shape.<\/p>\n

Riders who want sun protection with the Veloce use a tinted outer visor \u2014 the easy-change visor system makes swapping between clear and dark lenses straightforward.<\/p>\n

Sport Design and Compact Profile<\/h3>\n

The Veloce’s compact shell is one of its most appreciated features among sport bike riders. The overall helmet sits tighter against the head profile, which reduces the leverage effect at speed. The aerodynamic shape is optimised for a forward-leaning riding position rather than the upright posture of a commuter or tourer.<\/p>\n

Two Purposeful Colours<\/h3>\n

The Veloce comes in Nero Opaco (matte black) and Nardo Grey \u2014 both understated, sport-appropriate colorways. There are no graphic options, which fits with the clean, focused design philosophy. If you want bold graphics, the Stelvio has seven graphic options; the Veloce keeps things deliberately minimal.<\/p>\n

Who the Veloce is For<\/h3>\n

The Veloce is built for riders on sport, naked sport and supersport motorcycles who want a helmet that matches the character of their bike. If you value compact form, aggressive design, ECE 22.06 safety and do not need an integrated sun visor (or prefer a tinted visor swap), the Veloce is your ADN full-face.<\/p>\n
