To quote the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, “While color, design and price may be part of your decision about which helmet to buy, think first about protection and comfort.”
If you can have all of the above, even better. Which is why so many riders give high marks to the Suomy D20 helmet. It delivers classic Suomy styling, a snug fit and, above all, reliable safety features that have a proven track record of preventing injuries.
In the recent past there was a note worth testimony from an avid rider attesting to the protection they had sustained from their Suomy helmet. It described a scary, 100 mph crash in which the rider was wearing a Suomy helmet. He survived without a head injury and is now “ready to get back on the track.” The photos alone were nothing short of astounding.
As with any well-designed motorcycle helmet, added safety and protection often comes from the fine details. Webbikeworld.com highlights the centrally located visor release button on the Suomy D20. It has to be squeezed for the visor to open, and the reviewer highlights that as “a very good safety feature.”
Dependable safety features are a big part of why Suomy has been worn by professionals on the world racing circuit since 1997 and been a preferred brand for street and dirt riders as well as cruisers. All Suomy helmets are DOT and BSI or ECE 22.05 approved.
The D20 is Suomy’s first flip-up, and it wins high praise from WebBikeWorld.com for a visor lock, release and rotating mechanism that closes tightly and “eliminates most or all of the creaking and groaning noises that can be heard in most flip-ups.” Also noted by the reviewer is the feel of the D20 – “secure and comfortable” – and the nice fit of the liner, which draws an “Excellent” rating for comfort.
Another Suomy D20 feature that gets a thumbs-up from riders who know their motorcycle helmets is its removable neck padding and liner. Easily pulled out, it can be popped into the washing machine and cleaned after each ride.
For riders who enjoy touring or longer rides, the D20 is fully loaded with the latest communication technology. You can talk bike to bike, rider to passenger, make phone calls and listen to music. And the helmet has full Bluetooth integration.
Of course, Suomy is well known for its extreme graphics, but the D20 is anything but extreme. If you’re looking for wild helmet art, try other models. The Suomy D20 keeps it simple and elegant: black, matte, silver and white.
