New Speed and Strength Skid Lids: Stars, Stripes, and Speed

Full face helmets are for racing wannabes and posers. You rock a murdered-out chopper that makes children cry and your bike rumbles and shakes more than the San Andreas fault. You wouldn’t be caught dead showing up to a ride with a colorful full face lid featuring some embarrassing graphic plastered on the side. Sturgis and Daytona bike weeks are coming up though, and you need to get through states with oppressive helmet laws. What do you do?

Grab a Speed and Strength SS450 Solid Speed Helmet, of course! This state-of-the-art skid lid will meet the letter of the law without getting laughed at and mocked by the rest of the gang. Black is the only color that goes with a badass old-skool bobber, and black is the only color this lid comes in. The polycarbonate shell provides a solid barrier between a rider’s head and the road at any speed. Protection for the most important part of a motorcycle - the rider - has never looked so good.



Looking to show off national pride on every ride? The only thing more ‘Murican than the Speed and Strength SS300 Stars and Stripes Helmet is Bruce Springsteen performing at a NASCAR race. This patriotic helmet of freedom will go great with any hardtail blasting the national anthem down the freeway. The land of the free is waiting to be explored, and this lid will get you through any pesky helmet law states. More importantly, it would be foolish to leave the home of the brave on a motorcycle without head protection. The SS300, like its blacked-out brother the SS450, is made from the same polycarbonate shell technology found in full-face helmets. All of this in a package that will actually look good and protect your head without losing street cred.

Speed and Strength SS300 Stars and Stripes Helmet Review:


Regardless of whether your style icon is The Ghost Rider or Captain America, Speed and Strength has got your head covered. Now what are you waiting for? Sturgis starts on August 5th!

Speed and Strength SS1500 Helmet Review

Speed & Strength SS1500 Seven Sins

Fresh for 2012 is the brand new Speed and Strength SS1500 Helmet. Built with several features that rival every comparably priced helmet out there and five different graphics to match a wide varieties of riders, the SS1500 is hard to ignore.


Check out our Speed and Strength SS1500 Helmet Review:

Speed & Strength SS1500 Hard Knock Life

The shell is composed of Advanced Thermo-Poly Alloy and exceeds the DOT and ECE 22-05 standards. It's going to be able to withstand some tough falls while keeping the rider safe and sound. Looking at the guts, you'll notice right off the bat that the SS1500 uses a ratchet system on the chin strap. This makes for easy removal by simply pulling on the red tab which releases the lock which you can do one handed while still wearing your riding gloves.

The inner cheek pads are composed of a Coolmax® moisture-wicking liner which helps pulls sweat away from the rider's face and feels good against the skin. They are completely removable and washable. If you're out on the road and you notice they're starting to get a little funky, simply stop at a gas station, run them under some water, and after a few quick minutes drying in the sun you'll be ready to go. A nice touch Speed and Strength added to the cheek pads is the "Pump-It" System that allows riders to easily pump in air to their cheek pads creating a snug, custom fit to contort to their needs by simply pressing a button on the inner front of the helmet. A release valve makes deflation a cinch.

Speed & Strength SS1500 Off the Chain

The helmet interior is pretty basic but effective. There are two chimney vents to help flow air through and out the helmet using the Airstrike ventilation system. Another great aspect to this helmet though is the DVD (Drop Visor Design). There is a built in sun visor that comes down all the way across the rider's face to aid with sun glare during rides on sunny days. The visor has a fog free coating and is scratch proof.  The chin guard also flows air up and across the visor adding extra fog resistance. 

Speed & Strength SS1500 6 Speed Sisters

Well under the $200 price point, the Speed and Strength SS1500 helmet is hard to match. You're getting several great features and the ability to custom fit it to your face. The SS1500 has an intermediate oval head shape, comes in sizes XS to XL, and has five distinct designs, representing a little something for every sport rider out there. Check out all the great designs and color options each helmet presents!

Speed and Strength Twist of Fate 2 Leather Jacket Review

Take the Speed & Strength Twist of Fate 2.0 Race Suit, cut it in half at the waist and sell the top half. This is essentially what Speed and Strength has done with their new Speed & Strength Twist of Fate 2.0 Leather Jacket. The Leather Twist of Fate 2.0 is a jacket made for the aggressive street riding and sport crowd. It can also be attached to the Speed and Strength Twist Of Fate Leather Pants to make a good race suit for the casual track day rider and knee dragger.

Check out our Speed & Strength Twist of Fate 2.0 Leather Jacket Review:

This jacket is great for the sport rider who wants one jacket that can hit the commute Monday through Friday, do some back-road twisties on Saturday, and hit the track on Sunday. The leather on the Twist of Fate 2.0 is 1.2-1.4mm cowhide which is perfect to keep you comfortable and protected in case of a high side wreck. The stitching holding the leather together is Kevlar safety stitching with double stitching at the main seams. Knox CE approved armor in the shoulders and elbows as well as external sliders help separate your body from the high impact areas and asphalt. The back has a Knox TP2 CE Back Protector which is normally a 30 dollar upgrade. This means the entire jacket is CE approved. The armor is also sewn right into the jacket

meaning it's not removable but also means it won't move out of place in the event of an accident. The mini GP hump provides an extra aggressive touch to the jacket's styling and will also aid in preventing the top of the spine and back of the helmet from having a direct impact with the asphalt. This is everything you would expect from the top half of a race suit.

This jacket also showed some courtesies to the street rider. The Twist of Fate isn't cut as tight or as aggressive as some of the Italian race jackets. There's a little more room around the stomach and sleeves and it has a more casual fit overall.  There's a ton of perforation down the front of the
jacket to help keep you vented when the temperatures rise and the tarmac begins to melt. The sleeves also have perforation on the leather and stretch panels running down the inside of the arms that will also flow some air. Speed & Strength also put a few perf holes on the back of the jacket to help vent air out of the back. This jacket is collarless so there's nothing to interfere with head movement and the sleeves and waist have adjustment straps to help tailor the fit to your liking.

All in all, the Speed and Strength Twist of Fate 2.0 leather jacket will play right into the street and the casual track riding crowd. If you're a little more hardcore of a track rider then the full Speed & Strength Twist of Fate 2.0 Race Suit might be more up your alley. The sizes go from 38-54US and color schemes are a dark black color, a very clean white, and a dark grey.
