Axor SH890 review: this ECE 22.06 full-face helmet uses an ABS shell, a micrometric quick-release strap and a removable, washable liner. The checked version lists a clear visor plus an additional smoked visor. Its ventilation and supplied equipment are practical points to compare alongside the fit.

Ventilation and visor equipment
The source identifies two top intake vents, a chin intake and an exhaust built into the rear spoiler. A tool-free visor mechanism can simplify visor changes, but check how securely the visor closes and whether its controls are accessible with gloves.
An additional smoked visor is listed for this version. Confirm the box contents and the required anti-fog insert before buying, and choose visor equipment suitable for the light conditions and intended use. The liner is removable for cleaning according to the manufacturer’s care instructions.
Protection and construction
The listed approval is ECE 22.06. Check the exact helmet label and specification for the version you are buying, particularly if you need it for a track event.
Fit and adjustment
The chin-strap fastening is Quick Release. Make sure you are comfortable operating that fastening and adjusting it securely before choosing the helmet.
Comfort and everyday use
The interior is removable for cleaning. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions and refit the pads in their original positions.
Versions and options
The checked listing links to these options: Spear Gloss Hex Red, Cornet Gloss Black / Blue, Cornet Gloss Black / Neon Yellow, Spear Gloss Hex Blue / White, Hunter Turbo Gloss White / Red, Hunter Turbo Matt Black / Grey. Check the selected version and available sizes before ordering; the linked price may apply to a particular option.
