Suomy
Since its foundation in 1997, the activity of the Italian company has been strictly oriented towards the racing world, which offers valuable insights and information for the development and creation of helmets. In 2000, Suomy signed a partnership agreement with Ducati, one of the leading motorcycle manufacturers in the racing world. Thanks to this collaboration, the most talented Ducati riders engaged in the Superbike World Championship start using #SuomyHelmets.
In 2001 Suomy achieved the first important result, winning the first World Title with Troy Bayliss, a legend of the SBK World Championship. He confirmed his World Title in 2006 and 2008 too. During the same years Suomy sponsors riders of the caliber of Troy Corser, Aaron Slight, Ben Bostrom , Scott Russell and Ruben Xaus. Subsequently, Neil Hodgson in 2003 and James Toseland in 2004 and 2007 will be proclaimed SBK World Champions.
In 2003 Suomy became the lead actor in the 250 GP Championship with Manuel Poggiali‘s World victory. The 2000s are also characterized by Suomy’s debut in the MotoGP World Championship thanks to the sponsorship of two icons of the worldwide motorcycling: Loris Capirossi and Max Biaggi. And the “Corsaro”, during his long history as #SuomyAmbassador, won two SBK World Championships in 2010 and 2012.
Thanks to both these victories and the recognizability of its racing graphics, Suomy immediately becomes a premium brand synonymous with reliability and high performance, recognized by both professional riders and motorycle enthusiasts.
The Italian brand continues its growth, making progress with important technological investments and developing a top-notch Design and R&D department.
And, while Suomy’s wall of fame continues to fill up with unforgettable successes in the racing world by winning more than 20 World Titles, year by year the helmets’ collection gets enlarged and improved, enriching itself with a wide range of models, from the track to off-road, passing through sport touring and open face.
