The DMD Racer Helmet is a remake of an iconic ’70s era motocross helmet that’s been built to modern (ECE 22.05) safety standards, it has a shell made from a carbon/Kevlar blend, a removable/washable liner and a padded chin strap with a double-D ring closure.
We’re seeing more and more helmets made with classic styling combined with modern safety improvements and the DMD Racer is probably the best motocross-inspired design we’ve seen so far. It can be fitted with snap-on/snap-off face shields or worn with goggles depending on the riding you plan on doing.
