This full-face helmet is a must-see for riders who want to "ride with a rugged style that stands out from the crowd" or "achieve both a classic look and modern comfort." First, check out the full lineup of 9 colors on Webike.

What is the "SIMPSON SB15," Evolved After 14 Years?

While retaining the iconic shell line that instantly identifies it as a SIMPSON, the internal mechanisms and comfort features have undergone dramatic evolution.

The Legendary SB5 Design Refined to Modern Safety Standards

The Bandit series has continued to evolve uniquely with the times. The latest model, "SB15," beautifully inherits the edgy, linear form of the "SB5," which remains immensely popular among fans. However, this is not just a reissue. While maintaining its classic and spartan aesthetic beauty, it has evolved into a helmet that meets the increasingly stringent safety standards of PSC and SG (compatible with all engine displacements).

Improved Comfort with FreeStop Shield Mechanism and Fully Removable Interior

The shield features the "FreeStop Shield Mechanism," which does not use gears. Since there is no wear from gears, it is less prone to deterioration, and the ability to fix the shield at any desired opening position steplessly is extremely convenient. Furthermore, the inner pads and cheek pads have been upgraded to a fully removable specification that can be washed. This makes maintenance easy and ensures a clean feel every time, even after sweating in the summer or after long rides.

Choose by Style! SB15 Color Matching & Design Appeal

With a diverse lineup of 8 colors, you can enhance the coordination of your outfit by choosing based on the genre of your motorcycle or your usual riding gear.

[Solid & Stone Black] Recommended Matching Styles for Your Bike and Wear

First, we will introduce recommended matching styles from the 7 colors excluding carbon.

• White / Silver: Pairs well with sporty naked bikes and supersports. Easy to match with light-toned textile jackets or casual riding hoodies, giving a sophisticated and urban impression.
• Black / Matte Black: Perfect for American bikes like Harley-Davidsons, megasports, and neo-retro bikes. Pairing with classic leather jackets or black MA-1 jackets creates SIMPSON's signature tough street style.
• Stone Black: Features a special textured paint finish that emphasizes a military or gear-like feel. It uses a dedicated decal head mark and pairs exceptionally well with bobbers, custom machines with a survivalist aesthetic, and textile jackets.
• Red / Orange: Dynamic vivid colors. Matching with the image colors of bikes like the Z900RS or KTM, or using them as accent colors in all-black wear, creates an overwhelming presence on the circuit or street.

[Carbon] The Standalone Flagship Model Combining Ultimate Texture and Lightness

The "Carbon" is offered as a standalone high-end model of the SB15. The precisely woven twill carbon shell, recognizable at a glance, displays a three-dimensional appearance depending on the light, providing immense satisfaction of ownership. Additionally, only the carbon model is equipped with red aluminum D-rings. The geometric pattern of the carbon and the luxurious touch of red enhance the quality of any machine, from high-performance supersports to high-end custom Harleys.

While the price is not cheap, the "lightness" unique to carbon material is a significant advantage. It dramatically reduces fatigue in the neck and shoulders during long-distance touring, making it a worthwhile investment for touring riders who seek to balance style and ease of riding.

Key Points to Know for Actual Use! Choosing Shields & Sizes

Here, we explain the points to further customize the SB15 to your liking and achieve a comfortable fit.

How to Choose Optional Shields That Transform the Look

The standard shield is clear, but you can significantly change the atmosphere by replacing it with an optional shield. In addition to "Smoke" and "Light Smoke," which are useful on sunny days, "Chrome Mirror" and "Iridium Mirror" are available, making your face less visible from the outside and doubling the Spartan feel. If you often ride at night, "Light Smoke" or "Amber" are recommended for maintaining visibility.

Two Types of EPS Structures and Fine-Tuning Fit

While the SB15 shell size is common across all sizes, the internal shock-absorbing liner (EPS) is divided into two types. "Small EPS" is included for 57cm-58cm, and "Large EPS" for 59cm-62cm. Even if the fit feels slightly loose or tight, you can fine-tune it to your preference by combining separately sold cheek pads and inner pads. If you are unsure about sizing, it is best to measure your head circumference accurately, choose the standard size, and then adjust the fit with pads to avoid mistakes.

Conclusion: Get a Rugged Ride and Individuality with the SIMPSON SB15!

The "SIMPSON SB15," evolved after 14 years, is a highly refined full-face helmet that balances sophisticated toughness with modern comfort at a high level. While meeting the expectations of long-time fans with its styling, it also incorporates everyday conveniences such as a FreeStop shield and fully removable interior. If you want to achieve a unique street style that sets you apart from the crowd, why not consider getting a new helmet?
