The model features a high impact resistant outer shell made to absorb and disperse impact energy effectively, paired with a regulated density EPS liner that enhances overall protection. It carries both ISI and DOT certifications, reinforcing STUDDS’ commitment to meeting globally recognized safety standards.
Commenting on the launch of the Studds Thuner Fenix Edition helmet, Mr. Sidhartha Bhushan Khurana – Managing Director, STUDDS Accessories Ltd., said,
“The Thunder Fenix builds on the trusted foundation of our Thunder series while introducing a stronger design expression and enhanced comfort features. With dual certification, reliable protection and distinctive styling, it reflects our continued commitment to delivering safety, performance and rider confidence.”
Aerodynamic Design for Enhanced Stability
The Thunder Fenix features a precision sculpted aerodynamic silhouette made to slice through the air with minimal resistance. By incorporating an integrated spoiler, it significantly reduces wind drag and buffeting at high speeds. This ensures the rider maintains maximum stability and experiences less neck fatigue, making it perfect for both spirited sprints and steady highway cruising.
Dynamic Ventilation System
Rider wearing experience is maintained through a sophisticated dynamic ventilation system. Strategically placed intake and exhaust vents work in harmony to promote a continuous stream of fresh air throughout the helmet’s interior. This efficient airflow management helps regulate temperature and prevents the buildup of humidity, ensuring a cool and clear-headed experience even in sweltering conditions.
High Impact Resistant Outer Shell
At the core of the helmet’s safety profile is a high-impact resistant outer shell. Engineered from advanced materials, this shell is engineered to withstand significant force and disperse energy effectively upon impact. This robust exterior serves as the first line of defense, providing riders with the confidence that their gear is built to handle the rigors of the road.
Regulated Density EPS
Beneath the outer shell lies the regulated density EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) liner. This internal safety layer is engineered with varying densities to provide targeted shock absorption across different areas of the head. By optimizing the way energy is absorbed during an impact, the EPS liner provides a critical secondary layer of protection that works in tandem with the hard shell.
Hypoallergenic Liner for Sensitive Skin
Understanding that long rides require skin friendly materials, the helmet is fitted with a hypoallergenic liner. This specialized fabric is treated to prevent the growth of bacteria and reduce the risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions. It provides a clean, neutral environment inside the helmet, which is essential for riders who spend hours on the road.
Premium Micro Fiber Fabric
The interior is lined with high quality microfiber fabric that offers a soft feel against the rider’s face. Beyond its smooth texture, the micro-fiber fabric supports breathability and moisture management, helping maintain freshness during extended use. This material enhances interior comfort while supporting a dry and pleasant riding experience.
Fully Replaceable Liner
To extend the life of the product and maintain a “new helmet” feel, the Thunder Fenix features a fully replaceable liner. Over time, internal padding can compress or wear down, but this system allows riders to simply swap out the old liner for a fresh one. This modularity ensures the helmet remains snug and supportive for years of use.
Quick Release Visor Mechanism
Visibility is key to safety, and the quick-release visor mechanism makes maintaining a clear view easier than ever. This tool free system allows riders to remove the visor for cleaning or swap it out for a tinted version in a matter of seconds. It eliminates the frustration of complex hardware, allowing for quick adjustments on the fly.
Quick Release Chin Strap
For maximum convenience without compromising security, the helmet is equipped with a quick-release chin strap. This mechanism allows for a precise, snug fit every time the helmet is donned and can be released with a single hand. It provides the perfect balance of easy operation for daily commutes and the reliable fastening required for high-speed riding.
UV Resistant Paint Finish
To preserve its aggressive and stylish look, the helmet is coated in a high-grade UV resistant paint. This protective finish prevents the colors from fading or the clear coat from yellowing when exposed to prolonged sunlight. It ensures that the Thunder Fenix maintains its showroom shine and aesthetic integrity, regardless of the weather.
Removable and Replaceable Lower Trim
The base of a helmet often sees the most wear and tear from being placed on rough surfaces. The Thunder Fenix addresses this with a removable and replaceable lower trim. This feature protects the bottom edge of the helmet from scuffs and abrasions, and because it is replaceable, riders can easily refresh the look of their gear if the trim becomes damaged.
Colours, Graphics and Sizes
The STUDDS Thunder Fenix is offered in a range of bold color and graphic variants, including unicolor options such as Gloss Black, Matt Black, Matt Blue, Matt Gun Grey and White, along with distinctive editions like the Crystal Foil. These variants introduce a sharper and more expressive visual direction, enhancing the helmet’s on-road presence while building on the established Thunder series styling.
The helmet is available in Medium (M), Large (L) and Extra Large (XL) sizes, ensuring a secure and ergonomic fit for a wide range of riders. It is currently available across offline retail outlets and STUDDS exclusive business outlets, with prices starting at INR 1995.
