The paint finish on my ‘Signature Black’ example was flawless and the contrasting brass accents add an air of refinement that no other helmet in my collection has. Rather than looking like a Lego astronaut’s lid, the Heroine has the appearance of a 1970s racing helmet thanks to its broader chin bar and shorter profile. As for quality and level of finish, the Heroine is top-notch. In terms of styling, the Heroine easily ousts the Bullitt. With the design of the Heroine, Hedon clearly set out to challenge the dominance of Bell’s Bullitt and to fill the gap left after the demise of French “luxury” helmet brand, Ruby. The Hedon Heroine helmet is firmly targeted at the custom and classic crowd, especially those with a taste for high-end quality. Enter stage right, the Heroine helmet from England’s Hedon Workshop. This, of course, means I’m always keen to give a new helmet a try, especially those designed to appeal to the retro and custom crowd. It’s ridiculous, but it beats collecting stamps. I have 5 times as many helmets as I do motorcycles. I have a penchant for motorcycle helmets and I will be the first to admit I have too many of them.
