Few helmets have made such a
mark on the bike world as the Simpson Bandit. First launched in the late 1970s,
the original Bandit was made in Texas by Bill Simpson and was actually a NASCAR
helmet design that was technically illegal in Britain. It was a super-high
quality lid, but since it was built for American car racing, it didn't comply
with UK motorcycle helmet rules.
Now riders can re-create their biking youth, with
the latest Simpson bike helmet - the Venom is totally compliant with the new
ECE 22-06 regulations, making them fully road legal to wear on a bike. That
hasn't affected their overall design though - the Simpson style is still clear
to see.
The standard Venom boasts the very latest
composite Maxx-3C shell material, with fully removable, washable lining, an
advanced venting and hot-air exhaust system, inner sun visor, and a
quick-release Pinlock MaxVision equipped visor. A MaxVision insert is included
in the box.
Produced in three shell sizes, with fittings from
XS to XXXL.
