Billed as one of the most well-ventilated full face helmets on the market, 100% went to great lengths to increase airflow in their first foray into the head protection market. The Aircraft includes 25 vents, all well as a slightly elongated chin bar to improve air flow. MSRP is $400 and includes a 100% branded helmet bag with integrated goggle pouch.

While the helmet does not incorporate any anti-rotational technologies like MIPS, 100% did choose to integrate safety features such as emergency release cheek pads and compatibility with the Eject Removal System. The back lip of the helmet is designed to be compatible with majority of neck brace systems on the market.

An assortment of different colored visor screw kits and mouthpieces will also be available aftermarket.
