Lid Love: Simpson Drops ECE 22.06-Certified Range for Certain Bandit Models

[admin]

Note to the Reader: We’re reminded that the Simpson brand doesn’t have the rights to the “Bandit” lid name in Europe (via BillysCrashHelmets), so the “Ghost Bandit” and “Mod Bandit” are retitled to “Venom” and “Darksome” across the pond… don’t let the name change fool you!​

Happy Friday, folks! Today’s bit of lid love shines a spotlight on Simpson Helmets and their new range of helmets that now meet ECE 22.06 compliance!

The ECE 22.06 motorcycle helmet safety standard has been around since June 2020, with enforcement of the standard put in place in January of last year (2022); with seasonal scoots now in full force in the State of Texas (the home base of Simpson Performance Products), we’re keen on checking out the lineup of lids that can boast top-tier protection for our community of riders.
