STUDDS Accessories Ltd has announced the launch of the Helios Effect, the latest decal edition of its flagship full-face helmet range. The new variant introduces a sharper and more aggressive visual design while retaining the comfort, protection and rider-focused features that have made the Helios one of the company’s most recognised helmet models across domestic and international markets.
Originally developed for riders in Southeast Asia and first introduced in the Philippines, the Helios series has steadily expanded its footprint across markets including Colombia, Mexico and India. The newly launched Helios Effect builds on that legacy with a contemporary graphic language inspired by performance motorcycles and modern sports car styling.
The helmet’s design features sweeping polygonal graphics, sharply defined colour zones and integrated vent detailing that enhance its sporty appearance while maintaining visual balance. The range is available in six colour options, including Black & Chameleon Blue, Black Grey & Red, Black White & Red, Black & Red with Metallic Foil, Black & Grey, and Black Blue & White. Buyers can choose between gloss and matte finishes.
Commenting on the launch, Sidhartha Bhushan Khurana said the Helios has become an important product for the company in both overseas and Indian markets due to its combination of safety, styling and rider comfort. He added that the Helios Effect introduces a more expressive visual identity while continuing to deliver the same dependable performance.
The Helios Effect is built using a high-impact engineering thermoplastic outer shell and regulated density EPS liner designed to absorb and distribute impact energy effectively. The helmet also features an aerodynamic spoiler to improve stability at higher speeds and reduce drag during long rides.
Among its key highlights is a silicone-coated dual visor system that combines a clear outer visor with an integrated smoked sun visor for changing light conditions. The helmet also includes an AntiFog100 lens designed to provide up to 100 seconds of fog-resistant visibility in humid and cold weather.
Additional rider-focused features include a dynamic ventilation system, removable and washable hypoallergenic liners, eyeglass-friendly cheek pads, speaker pockets for communication devices, quick-release visor and chin strap systems, and cataphote retro-reflective padding for improved low-light visibility.
The Helios Effect weighs approximately 1.4 kilograms and is available in Medium, Large and Extra-Large sizes. The helmet is certified under ISI and DOT safety standards and is priced from INR 3,445 onwards. It is available through authorised retail outlets and exclusive STUDDS stores across India.
