Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2023, French helmet manufacturer Roof is also marking 30 years of evolution for its original 'Roadster' helmet design.

Looking back, Claude Morin's original design can now be seen as both avant garde and timeless - certainly it was ahead of its time as the first motorcycle helmet to feature both a pilot visor and a removable mast that could be attached to the shell.

Since 1993, under the leadership of Claude Morin, Roof has been dedicated to high-tech helmets development for the protection and safety of the biker.

These days we'd refer to Morin as having been a "disruptor" and the innovation of his design ideas continue to be felt 30 years later. For 2023, the new 'Roadster' iteration is still setting standards and trends - with a patented magnetic locking device for the mask. 

The fiberglass shell has a top lip seal, adjustable cheek pads and inner linings, antibacterial, ventilated and Quick Dry fabric, Venturi effect face and top closable air vent and a whole host of features that would been unheard of 30 years ago - which shows how far we have all come in three decades, and how far Claude Morin has come in that time.  

'BOXXER' is the contemporary heir of Roof International's iconic 'BOXER V8' modular helmet. "A high-quality composite fiberglass shell and a light and ventilated fabric complement the patented technologies - such as the reversible lip seal, the single-handed automatic locking and sequential unlocking chinbar, high-end comfort and silent lining, and active and passive defog.

"The 'BOXXER' carries double certification as a Jet and full face helmet, has optimised aerodynamics in the Jet position, Venturi airvents and weighs just 1600 grams.

Launched in 2020, the E22.06 RO200 Carbon is now offered in three shell sizes and is still said to be the lightest racing full face on the market at only 1130 g fully equipped for the small shell - inclusive of Pinlock lens, windguard, noseguard - only 1070 g without the accessories. Even the large shell is only 1200 g, fully equipped.

Finally, the new E22.06 certified intercom ready 'Suzuka' from Roof International is offered in three multi-composite carbon shell sizes for a "comfortable, ultra-light and high protection level" helmet that has a 5-density, patented EPS for optimum protection.

Features include ventilated, breathable, antibacterial and Quick Drying fabric; fully removable, adjustable and washable silent comfort lining; very wide field of vision (horizontal : 210° and vertical : 100°); top Venturi effect air vents; six air intakes and two rear extractors;  patented dual function airbox for the ventilation of the face or visor; optimised aerodynamics for high speed; ultra-fast visor removal system; EXITISY Emergency cheeks pads removal system and silicon lip seal for the visor and carbon side plates.

A Maxvision 120 Pinlock lens, windguard and noseguard come as standard and an additional 100% solar visor is offered with a free exclusive backpack and protective bag.
