There can be only one!

Just1 Helmets, the brainchild of Italian entrepreneur Tony Amoriello, was launched at the end of 2011 during the EICMA motorcycle show. Amoriello’s mission was bold and extremely challenging: to create a comfortable high-end off road helmet that combines style, technology and safety. Flash forward to today when Just1 Helmets has gained recognition all over the world in less than 4 years time. It almost sounds like a fairy tale...

Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last six months it was hard not to pick up on the achievements of top riders wearing the J1 logo on their lids. Tim Gajser set World MX2 on fire with his speed and style, resulting in 4 GP wins.  Enduro legend Alex Salvini, 2008 motocross world champion David Philippaerts, EMX250 series leader Nick Kouwenberg, quick Brits Jake Nicholls and Adam Sterry, they all rely on Just1 to protect their precious coconut! In the US Yoshimura Suzuki’s Blake Baggett has been the 450 rookie sensation of the season. Baggett captured 5th overall in the AMA Supercross series, rode to a shock podium in Daytona and so far he collected three podiums in the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. Just1 Helmets are sold in all corners of the globe while more and more riders are discovering their unique fit and qualities.

Balance for your head

What Just1 Helmets has achieved in so little time seems astonishing. In actual fact the reason behind their success is simple. Behind these stylish high-tech helmets are the experience and resources of one of the world’s biggest helmet manufacturers, add the drive and passion of a world–class rider team, throw in the typical Italian flair for design... et voilà. However, as they say the proof is in the pudding. Yes, the aggressive edges and colourful designs speak for themselves but to know what the hype is all about you need to try one of these carbon beauties yourself! So we did. "The first thing that comes to mind is how incredibly light the J12 helmet feels." With a weight of around 1.100 gr –the exact weight is of course different depending on the size- that’s what you expect of course. But because of its construction the Just1 helmets J12 feels super balanced, especially when riding. MXGP veteran David Philippaerts has ridden with a lot of helmets in his career but Just1 is by far his favourite: “My helmet is incredible.You forget that it’s there so that you can get on with your job, going fast!”. We definitely agree with DP19.

Another clever feature is how the front of the helmet is conceived to complement your neck brace, thanks to the anatomically structured N.B.F.F. (Neck Brace Front Fit). We also liked the excellent ventilation, the easy-to-remove washable inner linings and the solid overall feel. The latter is quite hard to explain but the highly rigid carbon fiber shell certainly adds to the stability. It’s the combination of the full carbon outer layer, the angles of the helmet and the protective inner polystyrene shell that provide excellent protection in case of a crash.

Unbeatable price/quality

When Just1 Helmets entered the market with their top-of-the line J12 offering a lot of industry people shook their head in disbelief. To launch a brand with only one helmet was simply unheard of! The success of the iconic full carbon Just1 J12 however did make a point. Now it’s your turn to get your hands on one of the most advanced markets on the market at a super attractive price.
