The Italian-designed adventure helmet combines carbon or fibreglass construction, ECE 22.06 certification and touring comfort for riders ready to kick off the new season.
With the UK riding season getting underway, riders are starting to dust off their bikes and plan the first proper miles of the year. Whether it’s a weekend blast on twisting B-roads, a long-distance tour or a detour down the occasional trail, versatility is key, and that’s exactly where the HPS 80.1 from GIVI comes in. Designed for adventure riders who like to explore beyond the end of the tarmac, the HPS 80.1 combines advanced protection, long-distance comfort and efficient ventilation in a modern adventure-style helmet, available in two versions, CARBON and APEX, to suit different preferences and budgets.
Founded in 1978, GIVI has spent decades developing luggage systems, mounting solutions and accessories that help riders travel further and more comfortably. With the HPS 80.1, that same touring-focused approach is applied to head protection, creating a helmet aimed at riders who want one lid capable of handling commuting, touring and light off-road use.

Two versions, one adventure-focused design
The HPS 80.1 is offered in two shell constructions. The CARBON version uses a lightweight carbon fibre shell, while the APEX version is built from fibreglass. Both versions share the same adventure-oriented design and features, allowing riders to choose the material that best suits their needs.
Safety is a central focus, with the helmet certified to the ECE 22.06 standard – the latest European approval for motorcycle helmets. The shell balances strength and low weight, with the CARBON version weighing approximately 1,450g, helping reduce fatigue on longer rides.
Inside, the helmet features an ergonomic liner that is fully removable and washable, improving both comfort and hygiene over extended use. Multiple front air intakes and rear extractors help maintain consistent airflow, which is particularly useful during warmer rides or demanding off-road sections.
The scratch-resistant visor is Pinlock-ready to minimise fogging in changing weather conditions, while an integrated internal sun visor improves comfort when riding in bright daylight. A micrometric retention system completes the package, offering quick adjustment and a secure fit.
Choices for Every Rider
Staying true to the brand’s philosophy of offering strong value for money, the HPS 80.1 range combines premium materials with competitive pricing.
The APEX version, constructed from fibreglass, is available in sizes XS–XXL and offered in five graphic colour options. It has a recommended retail price of £289.99
The CARBON version, featuring a visible carbon weave finish and also available in sizes XS–XXL, has a recommended retail price of £399.99
