Finding a full-face motorcycle helmet that offers uncompromising safety without resembling a neon-coloured sci-fi prop is no easy feat. London-based helmet maker Hedon has spent over a decade perfecting the delicate balance between high-end fashion, vintage British aesthetic, and modern impact engineering.

As part of their 2026 collection—appropriately themed The Art of Protection—the standout Hedon Heroine Racer 2.0 Olivea takes inspiration from the rich tones of aged oil paintings, fusing metallic olive automotive paint with sumptuous brown leather.

Currently available at £599 (down 20% from its original £749 retail price), this ECE 22.06-certified lid is a masterclass in retro-inspired riding luxury.

Aged Art Aesthetics & Upgraded 2.0 Shell

The Heroine Racer 2.0 Olivea is built around Hedon’s completely re-engineered 2.0 shell.

Utilising the latest composite glass fibre and carbon fibre moulding technology, the helmet delivers an ultra-lightweight, low-profile silhouette that eliminates the infamous “bobblehead” look common to lesser retro helmets.

Weighing just 1,200 grams in S/M sizes, it drastically reduces neck fatigue on extended motorway runs.

Visually, the Olivea finish is nothing short of arresting. The gloss metallic olive shell captures sunlight with subtle copper-toned depth, contrasted elegantly by genuine brown leather trim and an engraved brass Hedon emblem on the forehead.

4-Position Visor Mechanics & Brass Detailing

One of the most significant upgrades introduced on the Heroine 2.0 platform is its overhauled visor system.

Gone are the days of simple open-or-closed visors; the new CNC-machined brass mechanism allows riders to adjust the clear ECE-homologated visor across four distinct detent positions.

Whether you want a tiny cracked opening to prevent fogging on chilly damp mornings or full high-speed lockdown, the mechanism handles it seamlessly while shaving 3 grams of weight.

“By pairing a lightweight composite carbon-glass fibre shell with ECE 22.06 certification and rich brown leather trim, Hedon proves safety and high-end style can co-exist.”

Airflow is directed through a stealthy 3-channel ventilation system built into the brow. Inside, the helmet is lined with Hedon’s proprietary Hed Armour 360° cushion padding, wrapped in Merlin anti-bacterial fabric and supple brown leather accents. Fastening the helmet is a classic Double-D ring buckle crafted from solid brass.

Hand-Crafted Quality & Road-Legal Confidence

While Hedon’s striking aesthetic might tempt some to view these helmets as mere fashion pieces, safety has remained the brand’s unwavering foundation since day one.

The Heroine Racer 2.0 meets the latest, highly stringent ECE 22.06 safety standard, ensuring rigorous impact absorption, penetration resistance, and visor durability for UK and European roads.
