The birth of Suomy is certainly a typically Italian and family story.
Having worked for a long time in Yamaha, Umberto Monti, founder of Suomy, decides to commit in a different way. The helmet is his passion and becomes first distributor for Europe of Bell helmets and then for the Japanese DIC helmets. However, the true feeling that passionate him is the Made in Italy.
He involves the two brothers, Valter, the motocross rider, and Maurizio, nuclear engineer and the three together share their tasks and create Suomy, a completely Italian brand, but that sounds Japanese.
From the very beginning, with its fluorescent red ''dot '', becomes unmistakable and unique on the heads of the riders.A winning choice, a nice brand, aggressive and racy, combined to a spasmodic search for the quality.
In a few years Suomy established itself all over the world as a quality product, conquering important goals, but over the years the brand overflows and is no longer able to remain tight in the world of engines.
Suomy sells the motor part of the brand in order to focus on protective and ecological products. The first challenge is in cycling where the 3 brothers find themselves creating something new. Suomy DNA, made in Italy and great quality.
On the one hand, the riders rely on Suomy for safety and comfort and for all those technical solutions aimed at racing that only Valter and Maurizio have been able to find and develop, on the other Umberto imposes a decidedly transgressive and innovative look for the first time.
It is precisely the continuous search for beauty that has led Suomy to enrich its production with riding helmets. Products, techniques and colors that will make "history" and that are faithful to the reason for which Suomy was born, or "BORN TO BE # 1".
