Simpson Race Products have been in the motorsport safety business since 1959. It all began with brake chutes for drag-cars. 1967 saw Simpson become the first company to manufacture Nomex fire suits for racing. Since then Simpson have developed more than 200 innovative products for motorsports safety and become one of the leading brands in the World. Simpson have for many years been the leading supplier of safety equipment to the most challenging motorsports in the world, sports like Drag Racing, Nascar and IndyCars. 

Few helmets have made such a mark on the bike world as the Simpson Bandit. First launched in the late 1970s, the original Bandit was made in Texas by Bill Simpson and was actually a NASCAR helmet design that was technically illegal in Britain. It was a super-high quality lid, but since it was built for American car racing, it didn’t comply with UK motorcycle helmet rules.

 

Now riders can re-create their biking youth, with the latest Simpson bike helmet - the Venom is totally compliant with the new ECE 22-06 regulations, making them fully road legal to wear on a bike. That hasn’t affected their overall design though - the Simpson style is still clear to see.
