How do you get to show the world who you are and what you like when moving at more than 80 mph? You cannot wear a banner with a list of what you like or what your mood is at that moment. The best way to do it, though, is by customizing your accessories. This includes everything from your ride to what you are wearing.
An excellent way to stand out as a rider is your helmet. We see this all the time with drivers and rides. For example, Lewis Hamilton has used his helmet to pass messages on unity and love. With the color purple being at the center of it all.
Valentino Rossi has always used the color yellow and lots of artwork on his helmet in the motorcycle world. This allows him to stand out even in a crowd of 20 riders. If you are not a professional rider, you can customize your helmet to make it unique and stand out.
Think of customizing your helmet as a way of expressing yourself. If you are an artist, all the better, you can use this to showcase your work. Everything from sticking a mohawk to your helmet to adding color and even classic art paint works like the Monalisa are all part of helmet customization.
To give you a bit of inspiration, here are the coolest custom helmets we have come across.
Helmade
If you are not up for the task of customizing your own helmet, you can always have it professionally done or get one that is already customized. Helmade is the Verse or Gucci of helmet customization. Often compared to Veldt Design, these helmets have more to them than just art and a wow factor; they have character.
Helmet helmets are not your everyday novelties. Rather they are top-tier helmets that you can wear on any track, road, and even off-road. These helmets are popular with big brands, including but not limited to Arai, Bandit, X-Lite, and Bell. They have also collaborated on designs with professional racers across the world.
With Helmade, you have the option of building your own design from the wide range of options on their website. This includes you picking your color scheme, visor, comfort options, signatures, among many more creative options.
If and when you opt for Helmade helmets, you need to remember good things do not come cheap, and perfect things will make a dent in your back. Depending on what you are going for, you are looking at a minimum price tag of $1,500.
