Suomy was founded by 3 brothers Umberto, Valter, and Maurizio Monti in Italy in 1997. Their primary focus was developing motorcycle helmets specifically for racing. Working in this space granted them access to valuable info which would help them improve their helmet designs. In 2000 Suomy gained some traction, they partnered with Ducati & became the official brand for their riders in the Superbike World Championship. Shortly thereafter in 2001 one of Suomys sponsored riders, Troy Bayliss, won a world title in the SBK World Championship. This helped propel brand recognition for Suomy to new levels. The wins kept coming for Suomy riders and the brand kept growing. Today Suomy helmets are in multiple countries around the world. They're known for their reliability and ability to perform at the highest levels. In addition to racing helmets, Suomy also offers street riding helmets, off road helmets, and dual sport helmets.
