A Clean Lid That Does Not Scream For Attention

Not everyone wants a helmet covered in neon graphics and monster logos. Some of us just want a solid black helmet that looks good, fits right, and does not cost a grand. This is that helmet.The Speed and Strength SS900 Solid Speed Helmet. No flash. No nonsense. Just protection.We got three different versions here. Different sizes. Different finishes. Same solid helmet.

What Makes The SS900 Good?

Speed and Strength has been making gear for years. They are not some fly-by-night brand. This helmet uses real materials and real safety construction.Advanced Thermo Polymer Alloy Shell: Fancy words for a strong, lightweight outer shell. It is not cheap polycarbonate. It is tougher.Dual Density EPS: Two layers of foam inside. The outer layer is hard for big impacts. The inner layer is soft for small bumps. This is how expensive helmets are made.Optically Correct Shield: Flat panel. No distortion. You know how some cheap helmets make everything look wavy? This does not do that.Laser Contoured Comfort Lining: The inside padding is shaped to fit your head better. Removable. Washable. Because your head sweats.

Differences Between Finishes

Gloss Black (880489):

Shiny. Classic. Shows dust and fingerprints more.
Looks like a piano. Very clean.
Large size only.

Matte Black (880481 & 880485):

Flat finish. Hides dirt and scratches.
Looks mean. More aggressive look.
Available in Small and 2XL.

Vehicle Fitment / Sizing Guide

Measure your head before ordering. Wrap a soft tape measure around your head about one inch above your eyebrows. That is the widest part.

Size	Part #	Head Circumference	Hat Size
Small	880481	55-56 cm	6 7/8 - 7
Large	880489	59-60 cm	7 3/8 - 7 1/2
2XL	880485	63-64 cm	7 7/8 - 8

If you are between sizes, go smaller. The padding breaks in. A loose helmet is useless.

FAQ

What is the difference between these and the other SS900 helmets on your site?

We have multiple listings for SS900 helmets. This one has Gloss Black in Large, Matte Black in Small, and Matte Black in 2XL. The other listing has Matte Black in Medium and XL. Different sizes. Check your size and buy the one that fits.

Is this helmet DOT approved?

Yes. DOT approved. Street legal in all 50 states. Sticker is on the back.

What is the difference between matte and gloss?

Gloss is shiny. It looks classic but shows fingerprints and dust. Matte is flat. It hides dirt and looks more aggressive. Pick whichever you like.

I have a big head. Will 2XL fit me?

Measure first. 2XL fits 63-64cm. If your head is 65cm or larger, this will be too small. You need a 3XL or 4XL from another brand.

I have a small head. Will Small fit me?

Small fits 55-56cm. If your head is 54cm or smaller, this might be loose. Try it with the thicker cheek pads if it comes with them. Or look at youth sizes.

Can I wear glasses with this?

Maybe. Thin wire frame glasses usually fit. Thick plastic frames? Try the helmet on first. The eye ports are cut for sunglasses and goggles.

Does it have Bluetooth speaker cutouts?

Most SS900 helmets have pockets in the foam for speakers. Check the inside padding. Cardo and Sena usually fit.

How do I clean the inside?

Pull the cheek pads and liner out. Throw them in a pillowcase. Wash on delicate. Air dry only. No dryer. They will shrink.

Is this helmet good for hot weather?

It has forehead and chin vents. Not a race helmet with 47 vents, but it flows air. Crack the visor open one click for more airflow.

Why is this cheaper than a Shoei or Arai?

You are paying for the name with those. Speed and Strength makes good gear without the huge markup. This helmet will protect your head. You are not paying for MotoGP marketing.

What is "Dual Density EPS"?

Two layers of foam. Hard foam on the outside for big crashes. Soft foam on the inside for small bumps. Cheap helmets have one layer. Good helmets have two.

Is the shield anti-fog?

Most SS900 shields have anti-fog coating. It helps. It is not perfect. Crack the visor at stoplights if you fog up.

Can I return it if it does not fit?

Yes, if it is unused. No scratches. No smells. No road use. Try it on inside your house. Wear it for 15 minutes. If it hurts, send it back. If you crash in it, keep it. You earned it.
