Suomy Cycling - 100% Italian Passion
A family business with deep Italian roots reflecting a true passion for handmade quality and attention to detail.
The Suomy Story
Having worked for many years with Motocycle brand Yamaha, Umberto Monti, founder of Suomy, decided to commit to his passion in a more personal way by establishing his own brand and products that were 100% Italian. He involved his two brothers Valter a passionate motocross rider and engineer Maurizio to create Suomy, a completely Italian brand with a Japanese twist. From the very beginning Suomy's unique fluorescent “Red Dot” was unmistakable and quickly became recognised as a symbol of excellence and quality. Suomy's designs are the perfect combination of comfort, performance and safety with an aggressive and racy look that certainly stand out from the crowd.
More recently Suomy have recognised the importance of investing in more ecological products, taking their attention away from their Motorsport roots and into Cycling. The brothers did not want to be just another helmet brand and were seeking to create something unique that incorporated the Suomy DNA and their passion for 'Made in Italy' quality. With the Suomy Cycling range they have succeeded in carrying across the years of combined research, development and experience learnt from Motorsport into to the World of Cycling.
The Suomy Road Cycling Range
Suomy's research and development is motivated by passion so innovation and the search for performance down to the smallest details are assured. Every aspect of the finished product from fit, ventilation and surface textures become a subject of discussion and lead step by step to Suomys quest for the perfect helmet solution for every rider.
GUN WIND marks the triumphant entry of Suomy into the Cycling market. The first helmet in the Soumy Cycling range and 100% Made in Italy it embraces the whole spirit of Suomy Racing. Created in collaboration with athletes from the UCI World Tour Lampre-Merida Team it combines technically advanced thermoplastic resin reinforcement with a super air flowed interspace between the head and the helmet. This is all locked in place by Suomy’s revolutionary SMC (Suomy Minimal Contact) Fitting System.
Next in the line up is the speed inspired SFERA which incorporates a wind tunnel developed ventilation system producing incredible airflow and performance without disrupting frontal area aerodynamics. The powerful rear openings, which work as extractors provide a very well ventilated environment resulting in greatly improved comfort for an enclosed design even in the most extreme conditions.
Completing the Road Inspired Range – The Suomy Timeless
Having started their adventure into the cycling world by producing innovative models with superior design, the Suomy team wanted to include in its range a helmet with revised features and technology whilst retaining a classic style and look. The aim was to produce a helmet that still captured all the advancements, comfort and uniqueness of the Suomy family but was as much for everyday riders as it was for high performance competitive cyclists.
The result is the Suomy Timeless. A ground-breaking, lightweight and competitively priced product incorporating traditional everlasting looks and design. With its 35 air vents for perfect ventilation, a weight among the lowest in any helmet category (just over 200 grams in size M) and that all-important Italian style, the newest member of the Suomy family is set to be a true game-changer within the Road helmet market.
