PRODUCT INFO
Vanguard and Veldt have partnered to develop this exclusive line of modular, full-face carbon helmets, matching the Vanguard Roadster tones and fitted with titanium parts.
These helmets are fully ECE/DOT-approved and among the lightest and closest to the head you can find in the market.
The Vanguard helmets can optionally be factory-fitted with Fusar Bluetooth headsets and combined with the handle bar remote control, giving access to the newest technology and app for motorcycling.
The functional, utilitarian and minimalistic design, combined with the integration of Fusar riding technology, make the Vanguard helmets the ideal riding complement to the Roadster and one of the best values you can get for riding any motorcycle.

I was able to see one of the very first helmets of this new line, and they are absolutely stunning! The details, the colors, the hardware – these are definitely not your mainstream helmet…
Josh22 –
Are the slits really efficient for air flow/air cooling? What happens with rain?
Vanguard Team –
Hi Josh, the slits in the helmet carbon shell allow moisture and humidity to exit the helmet – but it’s not like air is going to be forced through and run inside the helmet.
As for rain, it doesn’t penetrate into these slits – we’ve done hundreds of miles of testing under the rain and the water doesn’t come through.
Michael –
Hi Vanguard Team, this is one beautiful helmet… Yet I’m struggling with the price of $770 when I can get a Bell Bullitt for $600! What do I get for that extra money?
Vanguard Team –
Fair point, Michael. Let us try to show you what make these helmets worth their price!
First, let’s talk about the advanced conception and technical design
These helmets are full-carbon shells, and fitted with titanium hardware parts. The result is one of the lightest helmets in the market to be fully DOT compliant with 2lbs 6oz.
The technical design of the carbon layers allows full protection (as would be expected from every helmet) yet very close fitting to the head – avoiding the “mushroom head looks” from other helmets
These helmets are modular, and can be turned from open face to full face with the screwing of a matching chin-guard – see the diagrams in the product pictures
The head fitting inside the helmet is also customizable – each helmet is delivered with 5 skull pads and 2 cheek pads in different thickness so get to the perfect fit for each rider’s head.
Then let’s talk about quality materials and exclusivity
The Vanguard helmets are hand-made by carbon fiber helmet specialists – the outer shell are made from Japanese carbon fiber from Toray, baked 3 hours in an autoclave oven, and finished with high end Akzo-Nobel paints and varnishes. The total production process takes more than 6 hours.
And these helmets are not produced in the same quantities as mass-distribution brands – so you get a more “exclusive” helmet!
Ken –
Are different visor tints available?
Do they have side recess for wearing glasses?
Vanguard Team –
Dear Ken, yes there are different visor tints – “clear” comes as standard as per the law, and you come buy and swap for a smoke visor or a dark visor by checking the “helmet accessories” section or by clicking here.
Remember that “long visors” are for the open face configuration of the helmet, and the “short visors” for the full face configuration.
Swapping visors is very easy and takes typically 30 seconds.
Last but not least, these helmets are worn by our team with either sunglasses or prescription glasses and the fit is perfect!
