BMW Motorrad has teamed up with Hedon, the London-based luxury helmet maker.

The multi-year partnership will produce “a new premium range of open-faced helmets,” undoubtedly as the choice for BMW r nine T owners.

The helmet in the picture is apparently the only one at the moment. Hedon has iterated that they will produce helmets based on BMW’s “legendary colours.” This line-up is currently launched for the European market, but it should make its way to Malaysia soon enough.

If you’ve never heard of the name “Hedon,” that’s because they usually produce very high-end helmets for the modern classic and café racer communities. We’ve tried the Hedonist model(courtesy of Biker’s Garage) during the very first Ducati Scrambler Asia Pacific Media Launch in Thailand years ago and came away impressed at not just the colour and design, but the amazing quality, fit and comfort.

Like the Chinese proverb, “One sen price, one sen quality,” you get peanuts if you paid for peanuts. Hedon helmets aren’t cheap but they really mean it when they say “premium.” The quality has to be experienced to be believed.

Hedon’s open-faced and full-faced helmets are ECE 22.05 and DOT certified.

Hedon also makes Cortex bicycle helmets and are currently working on the Zenith helmet to pair with the Arc Vector electric motorcycle.
