In what can only be seen as one of the coolest moves ever made by a motorcycle helmet manufacturer, HJC have recently unveiled a new selection of hugely exciting and visually appealing motorcycle helmets in partnership with Marvel (yes as in the comic books!), meaning that you can now be the proud owner of one of the following radical helmet designs featuring one of your favourite Marvel super heroes (or even super villains if you prefer!).
The well known bike lid company HJC now have a range made up of 8 different Marvel comic book character designs including classic heroes such as Spiderman, Iron Man and Ghost Rider, or the recently popular Deadpool. For those looking for something a bit more bad ass, how about a Punisher or Venom themed HJC helmet? Finally for the younger riders out there what about a more geenrically styled Avengers kids motorcycle helmet?
The new range of helmets vary in price from £120 to £470 and are supplied in a number of different HJC models. Below is a more detailed description and information on each design, all of which are available through the highly reputable Sportsbike Shop website. Our verdict is that this range of helmets are truly jaw dropping, with bold comic book style designs that are sure to stand out on the road, our personal favourite has to be the Venom lid, just look how awesome that Marvel design works with the shape of the HJC helmet!
