Suomy Ventura Helmet Review
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!”
