What's our secret?
As the direct manufacturer, Daytona Helmets cuts out the middlemen and passes the savings straight to you. While major brands mark up their helmets 8–10x, we deliver top-tier quality without the inflated price tag. You get the same—if not better—protection, comfort, and style, all at a price that’s actually fair. Premium shouldn’t mean overpriced. With Daytona Helmets, it never does. Our product is affordable, not cheap.
For 34 years, being family owned and operated has allowed us to focus on what truly matters—delivering a higher quality product without the inflated corporate price tag. Without layers of overhead or shareholders to answer to, we’re able to put our resources directly into craftsmanship, safety, and value. The result? A premium helmet at a price that makes sense for real riders—built with pride, not profit margins.
The Viper Full Face helmet by Daytona Helmets is built for the track—but we brought it to the streets. Designed with high-performance features MotoGP riders demand, like metal shield locking mechanisms, a dual safety rating, and advanced composite materials, the Viper delivers race-ready protection. But we didn’t stop there—we added modern comfort upgrades that make it awkwardly quiet for a helmet this aggressive. It's the perfect blend of pro-level engineering and everyday rideability.

The Idea is Born
The full face helmet market was missing something crucial: a dual-rated (DOT + ECE 22.06) helmet that offered premium protection without the premium price tag. Our development team kicked off the concept by diving into deep market research—working with real-world and track riders to dissect top-tier helmets, exposing weaknesses, and mapping out how to build something better.
Designing the Foundation
With the vision in place, our engineering team began developing the framework for the Viper. The mission: create a helmet with the aggressive features of a track lid and the everyday comfort of a street helmet. This meant dialing in an aerodynamic shell, maximizing the field of vision, and slashing wind and road noise by nearly 85%—a feat unmatched in the industry at the time.
Testing, Tweaking, Perfecting
Prototypes became reality, and the testing phase began. This was the most demanding part of the process—cycling through months of wind tunnel sessions, rider feedback, and R&D adjustments. Nothing was rushed. Every tweak was tested until we knew the Viper was ready for track riders, street cruisers, and everyone in between.
Soft Launch & Buzz
We entered production and began introducing the Viper at Daytona Biketoberfest and smaller regional events. The response? Massive. Riders loved the look, fit, and feel—and couldn’t believe the quality for the price. Feedback rolled in fast, and we fine-tuned every detail before scaling production to meet demand.
Official Launch at Daytona Bike Week
The Viper officially hit the streets—and the reaction was explosive. Compared side-by-side with $1,900 AGV Pistas and $2,000 Alpinestars, the Viper didn't just hold its own—it surpassed them in comfort, weight, and noise reduction. Built from 6K full carbon weave with no filler materials, it’s as light as it is strong.
We didn’t build the Viper to follow the market—we built it to fix the market. Most riders can’t (and shouldn’t have to) drop $2,000 on a helmet. We priced the Viper for the people, because we are the people. Daytona Helmets isn’t corporate—we’re riders building for riders. No gimmicks. No inflated margins. Just the helmet the industry has been waiting for.
