Marushin Helmets for Sale
BRAND NEW Marushin Helmet Size M (57-58) direct from Europe.
These are great quality helmets that have been imported directly from Europe. Don’t buy inferior helmets from dodgy unknown manufacturers – these are the genuine article! Individual reviews (from Europe) have put these as better quality than HJC, KBC, Nitro, and Zeus helmets. Several people have also reviewed these helmets as their preferred over both AGV and Shoei.
The helmets are lightweight at ~1250g, feature a secure double D strapping system, free-ear design with comfortable cushioning elsewhere, breath deflector, Marushin designed 1-button visor release for quick and painless changing.
Helmet travel bags are also available, with separate pockets for cell ph (or whatever), and a custom visor pocket. The bag is lined (including the visor pocket) with a soft felt-like material for protecting your gear.
These helmets are not a cheap unknown brand knock-off from China; Marushin has been around since 1958 and has supported motorcyclists in many events since.
