Givi have just released their latest full face lid, the 50.4 Sniper. It’s a polycarbonate-shelled helmet with a drop down sun visor, micrometric fastener, removable/washable liner and, on paper at least, decent ventilation. It’s also Pinlock ready and comes with a breath deflector and is available in 8 different color schemes. What more do you want? Oh yeah, a decent price. $120 at the time of writing seems pretty decent to me.

Givi 50.4 Sniper ‘Caschi’ rear view Full Face helmet
- Polycarbonate
- 3-point ventilation
- Removable liner
- 3.2lbs/1.45Kg weight (pretty light for a polycarb helmet)
- Size XS-XL
- Expect to pay about $120
Givi reckon it’ll weigh about 3.2lbs/1.45kg – which is actually very light for a polycarb helmet – and comes in 1 shell size (boo, but expected at this price point).
On paper it looks pretty good so is probably worth a look. Givi have only had one helmet tested by SHARP so far – that was a fiberglass full face that scored 3/5 – so the Sniper is a bit of an unknown.
However, if you’re after a nice looking helmet with some practical features, then the Sniper should offer good value for money and is going to be worth checking out. It’s available now.
