    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.

    Company Blurb
    Marushin was started in 1958 by Watanabe Shin and were sold predominantly in Japan. In the 1980’s a German businessman brought the brand to Germany, and with the death of Watanabe, the son sold the entire Marushin brand to the German businessman.

    At the time the pro Superbike series was running in Europe, and 6 of the 9 champions (over the 9 seasons) rode with Marushin helmets. At their peak, 18 riders in the international circuit were sponsored by Marushin.

    Pro riders who are (or were sponsored by Marushin):
    Katja Poensgen (the only woman, who ever rode in the 250cc world championship)
    Christer Lindholm (Swedish rider and 4 time pro Superbike champion – consecutively)
    Harald Eckl (previously the team head of the international Kawasaki Racing team - MotoGP)

    Further riders who were sponsored by Marushin in the past:
    Yokes Schmid, GER
    Udo Mark, GER
    Michael Galinski, GER
    Ernst Gschwender, GER
    Michael Rudroff, GER
    Edwin Weibl, CH
    Brian Morrison, GB
    Peter Linden, SWE

    Teams sponsored by Marushin in the past:
    Team Inotec Ortema
    Motorcycle Action team
    As you can see, these helmets have a long history in racing and quality products! You are welcome to come and view if you like (East Auckland). These helmets retail at over $350.

    Listed on Trademe, search under “Marushin” to find them…

    I only have M sizes (57-58) at present.
    Experience is a hard teacher...she gives the test first and the lesson afterwards.

    They look pretty! Is that the same Marushin which makes those delightful pistols and such?
