Givi X.21 Evo - Versatile flip-up helmet for city riding and touring

The Givi X.21 Evo offers a simple and effective solution: the protection of a full-face helmet when the chin bar is closed, with the freedom of an open face helmet when it's raised. Its dual P/J certification, built-in sun visor, included Pinlock, and removable lining make it a flip-up helmet particularly well-suited for both daily commutes and road trips.

Givi X.21 Evo Flip-Up Helmet: Practical for Everyday Use, Comfortable on the Road

Do you head to work in the morning, navigate a few kilometers of traffic, and then hit a stretch of open road? That's exactly the kind of riding scenario the Givi X.21 Evo is designed for.

Its thermoplastic shell is available in two shell sizes to ensure a better-proportioned fit depending on the size you choose. Its flip-up chin bar quickly transforms the helmet to provide more airflow and freedom during stops or urban travel. Thanks to its dual P/J ECE 22.06 certification, it's approved for use with the chin guard closed as well as in open-face mode.

The large visor features a scratch-resistant coating and is compatible with a Pinlock lens. Givi also includes the Pinlock with the helmet--a real plus when temperatures drop or humidity causes fogging. A retractable tinted sun visor rounds out the features, allowing you to quickly adjust your vision to changes in light.

To maintain a comfortable temperature inside the helmet, the X.21 Evo features a top air intake, ventilation at the chin guard, and a rear exhaust vent. Its removable and washable interior simplifies maintenance after daily commutes or long rides.

Why choose the Givi X.21 Evo?

The main advantage of the Givi X.21 Evo helmet is its versatility.

With the chin guard closed, you get the reassuring fit of a full-face helmet for riding on roads or highways. Once raised, it provides greater openness and ventilation, which are especially appreciated in the city or during stops.

The dual P/J certification really comes into its own here: unlike some modular helmets that don't allow you to ride legally with the chin guard open, the X.21 Evo is designed and certified for both configurations.

Its built-in sun visor also provides real comfort for everyday use. A ride that starts under cloudy skies and continues in the sun doesn't require you to change visors or add a pair of sunglasses.

A helmet designed for everyday use and touring

The Givi X.21 Evo is clearly designed for versatility. Its ventilation system creates airflow from the front intakes to the rear exhaust vent, which helps prevent heat buildup inside the helmet.

Givi also includes a nose guard and a chin curtain, two useful features when temperatures drop or speed increases.

Its stated weight of approximately 1,690 grams ± 50 grams is consistent with its modular design and the inclusion of the chin strap mechanism, internal sun visor, and dual-screen system.

Sun Visor and Pinlock Included

When the weather changes, visibility can quickly become less comfortable. Givi therefore equips the X.21 Evo with a visor that is resistant to scratches and Pinlock-ready.

The Pinlock lens is included, eliminating the need to purchase it separately to enjoy anti-fog protection suitable for riding in the rain, in cool weather, or during early morning rides.

The internal tinted sun visor is operated directly from the outside of the helmet. It takes just a few seconds to switch from a clear visor to adequate sun protection.

Dual P/J certification: a real advantage for a modular helmet

The Givi X.21 Evo is P/J certified.

The "P" designation indicates its use as a full-face helmet, with the chin guard closed. The "J" designation also allows for use in open face configuration, with the chin guard raised.

You can therefore adapt your helmet to your environment without being limited to a single approved position. This is particularly useful for riders who alternate between city riding, suburban commutes, and touring trips.

Care Instructions

To clean the visor of your Givi X.21 Evo, use lukewarm water and a clean microfiber cloth. Avoid products containing solvents or alcohol to prevent damage to the surface treatments.

Since the interior is fully removable, you can regularly remove the inner liner and foam pads to hand-wash them with mild soap. Let them air dry at room temperature.

Also remember to clean the air inlets and outlets to keep them clear. The chin strap mechanism must remain clean and operate smoothly without any sticking points: a few regular checks will help ensure your helmet remains comfortable to use as you rack up the miles.
