Suomy is an Italian motorsport racing helmet brand with an impressive number of world title wins under its belt. The Suomy motorsport division was recently sold off, with the founding ‘Monti’ brothers shifting their focus onto sporting protection, cycling being the first effort.
The Suomy name has previously popped up in cycling with the likes of the old Barloworld team, although these were actually rebadged helmets of another brand. In 2013, Suomy started to design its own cycling helmets and claims to have devoted its whole design team to the cause in 2014.
Said to be 100% made in Italy, the brand now offers a total of four cycling helmet models with plenty of colour and design choice in each. Covering road, mountain, downhill and TT, let’s take a look at the new range.
NB: We’re still clarifying international pricing and availability, with indications that at least some of these helmets won't be available in the UK.
Gun Wind for the road

Scrambler for the enduro mountain biker
Jumper for the downhiller
GT-R for the clock racer
