Korda Helmets Icon Strike — ECE 22.06 + ISI Certified Full-Face Helmet
Discover the Korda Helmets Icon Strike — a premium full-face lid engineered for riders who demand both style and uncompromising safety. As one of the most respected names in the Indian helmet market, Korda Helmets combines European-grade safety certifications, race-derived aerodynamics, and India-tuned comfort at a price point that delivers genuine flagship value.
Backed by ECE 22.06 (the latest European safety standard) and ISI 4151 (mandatory BIS certification for India), every Icon Strike helmet in the Korda Helmets range is built around the proprietary IRP+ (Impact Resistant Polymer Plus) shell, multi-density EPS liner, and a dual-visor system that adapts to changing light conditions — making it ideal for everything from city commuting to long-distance sport touring.
Why Choose Korda Helmets?
Korda Helmets has carved out a serious reputation in the Indian motorcycle community by focusing on what actually matters — certified safety, premium materials, and honest pricing. While many brands compete on graphics alone, Korda Helmets engineers each model with a dual-certification approach (ECE + ISI) and proprietary shell technology that punches well above its weight class.
What makes Korda Helmets different from other brands in the ₹6,000–₹12,000 segment is the engineering depth — dual-shell sizing (XS-M and L-XXXL configurations) for better fitment, ~1,550g weight balance, race-derived aerodynamics, and modular interiors that you can actually remove and wash. These aren't decorative spec-sheet features — they're the details that make a multi-hour ride genuinely comfortable.
Product Overview

With premium interiors, removable liners, and optimized ventilation, it delivers everyday comfort and reliability—whether you're commuting in the city or chasing open highways. Among all current Korda Helmets, the Icon Strike sits as the brand's most balanced full-face offering for daily plus weekend touring use.
Key Features

Within the broader range of Korda Helmets, the Icon Strike is the go-to pick for riders covering 50+ km daily or planning long weekend trips.
Korda Helmets Icon Strike — Sizing Guide
Getting the right size is the single most important factor for safety with any helmet. Korda Helmets use a two-shell configuration (XS-M and L-XXXL) — meaning the shell itself is sized appropriately to your head size, avoiding the "bobblehead" look you get from single-shell helmets in larger sizes. Use this quick guide to pick the right size:
Measure Your Head
Wrap a soft tape around your head, about 1 inch above the eyebrows, at the widest point. Take the measurement in centimetres.
Match the Korda Helmets Size Chart
XS: 53–54 cm | S: 55–56 cm | M: 57–58 cm | L: 59–60 cm | XL: 61–62 cm | XXL: 63–64 cm | XXXL: 65–66 cm
Check the Fit
A correctly sized Korda Helmets Icon Strike should feel snug on the cheeks, sit firmly without pressure points, and not rotate when shaken side-to-side. The chin strap should allow only one finger between the strap and your jaw.
Break-In Period
New helmets always feel slightly tight. The cheek pads on Korda Helmets break in by approximately 15–20% over the first few weeks of regular use — so a snug fit on day one is correct, not a problem.
Why the Korda Helmets Icon Strike at ₹8,850 Is Genuinely Good Value
At ₹8,850, the Korda Icon Strike sits in the upper mid-range segment of the Indian helmet market — and delivers features typically found in helmets priced ₹12,000+ from competing brands. Here's what your money actually buys:
ECE 22.06 + ISI Dual Certification
Most helmets in this price band carry only ISI. ECE 22.06 is the latest European standard — significantly more rigorous than ECE 22.05 — and very few korda helmets competitors in this segment carry both certifications.
Proprietary IRP+ Shell
Many sub-₹10K helmets use generic ABS shells. Korda's proprietary Impact Resistant Polymer Plus is engineered specifically for progressive energy dispersion.
Dual Shell Sizes
Two shell configurations (XS-M and L-XXXL) — a feature usually reserved for premium European brands like AGV or Shoei (₹25K+). Other korda helmets in this price band also offer this engineering detail.
Pinlock-Ready + Free Smoke Visor
A bonus smoke visor in the box plus Pinlock readiness — effectively giving you three visor options at one price.
Intercom-Ready Speaker Pockets
Built-in speaker pockets save you the hassle of foam removal when installing a Bluetooth intercom — a small detail that matters during real-world use.
