The el Fuerte is the latest lid from the team at Biltwell, it’s the DOT approved new model in their line up and it replaces the Hustler 3/4 face helmet that has itself become ubiquitous in the custom motorcycle scene over the past few years.
The el Fuerte helmet is a classic 3/4 face with a custom-shaped EPS shell and a hand-stitched liner with moisture wicking Lycra panels and open-cell foam padding for breathability. The new design is lower profile than the Hustler, giving it a similar look to Biltwell’s non-DOT novelty helmets and making it a little more rock n’ roll than it’s sometimes bulky predecessor.
The Biltwell el Fuerte costs just $99 USD and comes in 8 colours/styles here.
