PASSION
“Passion is life!
It’s with this emotion that I created Suomy!
It embodies the extreme search for safety that considers homologation standards as the
starting point - not the destination.
For me, it’s not enough to build the finest helmets in the world, but to extend far beyond
the norm, the typical.
This is why I have chosen to develop and use such proprietary technologies as
Structurally Enhanced Composites, Dynamically Variable Resistant EPS liners,
Alcantara anti-bacterial, anti-microbial liners.
This Passion is developed from our Team-work with some of the very best racers in the
world, assisting in the testing and developing of our helmets in extreme conditions on
the tracks.
It’s found in our choice to use thermoformed visors that unsurpassed optical performance,
are anti-scratch and anti-fog.
It’s found in our creation of titanium treated visors, our unprecedented attention to de-
tail in our graphics.
And to be the official supplier to such brands as Ducati, Honda, Yamaha, KTM, Prada,
Aprilia and more…
But this passion goes far beyond technology, the same technology that perhaps any
Japanese manufacturer could achieve.
What is difficult to achieve, is the fusion of design, style and comfort… it’s the ability to
transform a highly reliable safety “accessory” into a “life style” that makes you able to
taste the typical Italian life style, the “passion of life” of Rome, Florence, Venice…

world in their shops.

they did not only sign autographs but sometimes they made something different as James Toseland did: he ama-
zed all the present people playing the piano and singing few songs in a mini performance. Toseland got skills.
