New CGM jet helmets are available in two new models: 120 Neon and 121 Street. The jet helmets are designed for urban riders and have been made with a new shell design from CGM. The CGM 120 Neon jet helmet has a new smoky grey interior visor, while the 121 Street has an exterior visor which can easily be pulled down thanks to a grip mechanism.

The interior is made with a soft, padded lining which is both anti-bacterial and anti-allergenic. Thanks to new materials used, CGM claims that the helmets are of superior comfort and even have a racing design due to new air intakes at the front, and extractors at the rear.

Two versions are available for each model. The 120 Neon comes in a basic 120E version available in shiny black at a price of about €36. The 120A upgraded version comes in either black or white and costs €46. The GM 121 Street helmet comes in black in the basic 121E version at a price of €45, or in silver metal or pearl white at a price of €55. All prices quoted excluding taxes.

The new Suomy jet helmet has all the technology you’d expect but is called 70’s - reflecting its inspiration from the 1970’s - a pretty good decade for cool motorcycle design, we’d say. The Suomy 70’s helmet is light, versatile with a minimal and elegant style and a disappearing sun visor. It’s been designed for city use and scooter riders, but cruiser and even naked bike riders might find it suits their look.

The helmet sheel is made from fibreglass-based composite materials with different thicknesses and layers. It’s made to be light but highly durable as well. The Suomy 70’s helmets are all made in Italy and have hand painted finishes. The internal polystyrene layer is made in one size but comes in different thicknesses for a gradual absorption of any impact.

The 70’s jet helmet has a sun visor which can disappear upwards into the interior of the helmet thanks to a simple mechanism on the visor itself. The elasticised internal lining is made from microfibre and polyester and has anti-bacterial and breathable properties. The cheek pads and head piece can be removed and washed, and can be replaced by ones of different sizes for a better fit. The Suomy 70’s jet helmet costs 189 euros in single tone, or 219 euros with graphics.

Italian manufacturer Diesel has created this helmet for people who fit the following profile: “You’re a hotshot – you’re a maverick renegade, speeding through life to hell and back at up to 30 mph straight, 25 hours a day, 8 days a week.” The helmet is called Mowie, and features an external shell in high resistant thermoplastic resin.

It has an interchangeable visor, with padded and stitched ergonomic neck support and hygienic internal padding. The Mowie can be easily fastened and unfastened with a micro-lock feature and the aviator visor is like a Top Gun version of a modern jet helmet.

Sizes range from XS to XL and colours available are matt White, matt Black, matt Green and matt Bronze. It costs about USD 250 and will be available from autumn this year. See the video for a closer look.
