Davida Helmets DAViDA a privately owned English brand established in 1975. You can rely on us to always try to look after you our valued customers.

Riding motorcycles and providing quality products we use ourselves is and always will be our mission. At Davida we have been defining quality in our own way for more than thirty years. It has been a genuine and relentless pursuit rewarded by a worldwide reputation for the quietest, most comfortable, and well made helmets available. The results are some true classics, ( a must for any long distance ride) aesthetically very pleasing, beautifully put together and highly effective in their primary function of protection. Our philosophy at Davida stems from years of riding bikes. We have always understood, from experience, the importance of good kit when you're on the road. Whether being bold in the city or staying comfortable on challenging rides, certain things should not be compromised. That is why our helmets have always used the highest quality leather linings and why we have invested so much time developing designs that ensure a good fit. Modelled around the size and shape of the head, the overall size of the helmet is proportional to your head size- a smaller shell for smaller heads and visa versa. These helmets have always looked "right". yes, they are evocative of the past, but they are fresh as well. When it comes to the crucial function of a helmet safety, Davida have satisfied many of the Worlds strictest standards, achieving ECE-R2205 certification, ACU Gold in the UK as well as certifications for the USA, Scandinavia and Japan. Based on the Wirral, England, Davida are now the sole UK manufacturers of motorcycle helmets. We are proud that, unlike most modern creations, these helmets are still hand-built using the best quality materials available. Every distinctive livery and detail is carefully created by individuals who still care about these things. We have also selected a collection of the best goggles available from around the world, all of which have been road tested by us to ensure that they fit well and work effectively with our helmets. Times have changed and the company is constantly evolving yet our helmets seem to look right whatever the decade.

DAVIDA FUN At the Classic TT IOM August
We all had loads of fun, quite relaxed time and tea and cake at Braddon Bridge Church Hall. We had to watch out for Charlotte with her Speed Gun she was shipped in from Liverpool by special forces to kick our butts if we went to fast. She got Michael Dunlop on this stretch after Union Mills at 174mph well before Cronky -y Voddy.
We meet a great Rockers crew who had come from the Netherlands and Belgium 30 of them great bunch. Great campsite lovely people. Howard of Open Face Racer a total star we crashed in his shop on his lovely leather couch 24hr shopping for some, quite funny. I tried to one of our 50 years celebrations impromptu around the world small but fun crew. Maybe one in Italy EICMA Nov lets see I make a call. Anyone going to IOM Classic 27 remember we are 10 minutes from the ferry in Liverpool so easy to help people travelling from afar. Gary Goldstar and Vanessa Vintage, we assisted.

Manchester Shoot 1994

One of our first proper photo shoots with Ken Danks on the camera using Neopan 1600 film stock. The model came from Boss in Manchester. These shots ran in our adverts for years, some of you will remember them from the magazines.

2019 - Neil Campbell did 175mph on a bicycle at Elvington in this Koura. He chose it himself, my rule the racer's choice not mine. Full face cut for goggles, can you imagine the grit at that speed, the goggle combination was the tricky bit we worked that out together. Red silver and blue and Campbells soup on the back.

He is going for the 200 now... 200mph on a bicycle! Follow to keep up with it, he will tell you before I do.

Still Here If It Breaks

Sue gets emails every week about lids we stopped making many years ago: a worn liner, a missing popper, a chin strap. More often than not Alan goes in the warehouse and we sort it. That is the whole business really, we made it so we fix it.

What is the oldest Davida still on the road? Tag us in a photo, I want to see the state of it.

Anything needs sorting mail us [email protected] or ring 0151 647 2419.

Austin Vince Mondo Sahara 2012 Sahara Bound.

Austin Vince and the crew about to head off across the Sahara for Mondo Sahara, we made all their lids for the trip, our Speedster. Sharon and I went down to see them off and Sam Christmas took the photographs, I have the whole set in the archive. Some of our helmets have seen more of the world than we have.

Austin did 200,000 miles in that Speedster before he came to the MCN show in 2018 for a new one, I think that is a record for a lid, happy to be corrected. He is one of the Davida ambassadors we are honoured, if you have never seen Mondo Enduro or Mondo Sahara do it this weekend.

Where is the furthest your Davida has been?

Three studs or five?

Fitting studs to a v4 used to mean an email and a conversation. Now you can pick them on the site using the customiser: three for a peak or five for a visor. These are fitted by hand, so allow us a few extra days.

Before helmets we made swinging arms. This is 1980, one of ours on a Kawasaki GPZ750, look at the box section and the eccentric adjuster. The big Japanese bikes of the day GS Suzukis, Hondas, Kawasakis, the Hailwood Ducati had a speed wobble at 120mph, bucking broncos, I do wonder if they were more dangerous than choppers. So we built the arms and mono shock conversions for all of them in the workshop on the Wirral, 15 minutes on a revolving welding fixture, powder coated, anodised, £100. Not a single one ever came back out of alignment.

The Japanese sorted their own frames by the mid 80s and we went and made lids. Same idea though, fix the thing the big boys had not fixed yet.
