The full-face smart helmet is currently priced at Rs 13,000.
This integrated helmet offers riders a seamless experience with features like auto-WearDetect technology and wireless charging. Riders can control music and receive calls directly from the scooter's handlebar, eliminating the hassle of reaching out to their phones while riding.
One unique feature of the Halo series is the inclusion of ChitChat, which facilitates helmet-to-helmet communication between the rider and pillion. Ather Energy has collaborated with Harman Kardon to ensure premium audio quality, elevating the overall ride experience. This also promises to eliminate the disruption caused by ambient noise while riding. Both the rider and the pillion can also listen to the same music concurrently.

The Halo helmet boasts a battery life of up to a week and features built-in wireless charging. It can also be charged while being under the seat of the Rizta scooter as it is equipped with a wireless charging solution in its boot space. Moreover, the wear-detect technology automatically identifies when the helmet is worn, enabling connectivity between the helmet, smartphone, and scooter.
Additionally, Ather also introduced the Halo Bit, a modular extension compatible with the brand's half-face helmets. Ather has developed ISI and DOT-rated custom half-face helmets, soon to be available to customers, that can be equipped with the Halo Bit module, transforming any Ather helmet into a smart helmet.
The introductory price for the Halo series starts at Rs 13,000 for the full face, with the Halo Bit priced at Rs 5,000. However, attendees of the Community Day event were offered a significant 50 per cent discount on the Halo helmet.
