NEW WOMENS MOTORCYCLE HELMETS



There's something new in womens motorcycle helmets. Harley-Davidson has designed a helmet to better fit a womans head. The new helmet is called the Skyline.

Harley-Davidson hosted seminars at dealerships and at outreach events for women to help them design the new helmet.

They found women get a better fit from a helmet that is deeper in the crown. The reason is that women usually have more hair than a man. This leaves the helmet sitting too high on a womans head.

HARLEY HELMET Harley-Davidson worked with supplier KBC to come up with a helmet shell and liner that is 10mm deeper than standard motorcycle helmets. This gives more women a better fit on the forehead and back of the head.

The Skiline also has interchangeable liner side panels that can be used to customize the fit. The side panels come in various sizes which slide and snap into place. The side panels will be available in six different thickness sizes.

The Skyline helmet will initially be offered in a half-shell for around $175.00 and a three-quarter-shell for $195.00. They will come in gloss black with more colors and designes coming in the future.
