Watch out Ruroc, HJC has a new ‘funky’ helmet design
Ruroc might have a rival when it comes to the most striking, yet ‘funky’ helmet designs, after HJC unveiled its new Minions lid.
HJC is bringing out a new Stuart Minions helmet design, which will be available to order at the end of July.
Ruroc has often been seen as having the most striking, bold and funky helmet designs when it comes to film franchises and their characters. But this new lid from HJC could challenge that thinking.
HJC, in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, has confirmed the upcoming launch of the new helmet, which is inspired by Illumination’s Minions.
HJC is no stranger to bold designs as the company has Marvel-inspired helmets, as well as DC, Disney and even a Netflix section on its official website. But it’s the Universal range that the new Stuart Minions helmet falls under, and the design has been featured on the brand’s V10 full face helmet.
The top of the helmet features Stuart’s iconic single goggle, while his distinctive smile is printed on the front. The overall design was inspired by the classic Minions denim overalls, which swoop around the bottom section of the helmet, going from front to back.
Looks aside, the V10 helmet’s fiberglass shell has been designed towards aerodynamic performance, while the emergency release tabs provide quick removal in critical situations, say HJC. The interior lining is both removable and washable.
The HJC V10 Stuart Minions Helmet will cost €399,99 (around £345). More information can be found on the HJC website.
