The Atlantic City Vandal has been one of the most celebrated helmet designs of 2009. Casino-themed and inspired graphics from a roulette table, cards, dice, chips and dollars—surely, if this is your thing, this is your helmet. Below are photos of all views of the helmet.

The Suomy Vandal is an entry-level model that carries the features found in Suomy’s premium helmets. It has a very aggressive look even with a flat base, and is of top-notch quality. Of course, as with all Suomy helmets, this has passed all standards concerned with motorcycle safety.

Suomy Spec 1R Extreme

The 2010 Max Biaggi replica Suomy helmet is out. This time its a Suomy Spec 1R Extreme sporting Max’s signature red, white and yellow stars color theme. The replica does not come cheap at $719.95 retail, but you can expect Suomy’s finest race technology with the Spec 1R. The helmet is available in seven sizes—X-Small to 3X-Large, and comes with a 5-year warranty.

The Spec 1R comes with a default ultra tech clear iridium visor, and is rated ultra-light weight at only 1,250 grams. It features structurally enhanced composite fiber weave which is also good at absorbing sound. Finally, the advanced channeled EPS provides optimum venting while still retaining Suomy’s dynamically variable resistance crush zone.

Suomy Ventura Helmet Review

admin — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:08:32 +0000

People have been asking for a review of the Suomy Ventura—a mid-end simple-looking closed helmet that was sold originally for $224.95. Tips say that currently this helmet can be had for sub $110, which makes it a popular option to consider for those looking for a backup helmet or a daily.

The Ventura uses ultra-light weight structurally enhanced composite weave fibers, anti-scratch and anti-fog optics and sound absorbing polymers. It has removable breath deflectors, sponge cervical neck roll, close able delta top diffusers. For safety, the Ventura is DOT and BSI 6658 Type A approved.

We’ve scoured the internet for first-hand user experiences with the Ventura and finally we’ve found one. Yes, just one, from a Suzuki SV650 forum. Details of the review below.

“This was easily the best $145 I’ve spent on a motorcycle product. I was using a 5 year old Bell that was alright but I wanted something newer and hopefully quieter. This Suomy Ventura is about as quiet as I could stand. I think the main difference is the bigger neck roll which blocks a lot of wind. Possibly having the shield mechanism covered up helps, too. The model is not mentioned on the Suomy web site so I’m guessing it’s been discontinued. Plenty of web retailers have them for around $150. I got mine at Dennis Kirk. I’ve read the Suomys aren’t a great fit for everybody so it might be good to try one at a shop if you can but I guess that’s true with any helmet. Good luck!”
