state that its precision manufacturing and exacting
quality control standards result in durable filters with

Davida’s road-legal Speedster v3 features
dual approvals and improved lining
Davida will be releasing a new road-legal
version of their Speedster helmet at
INTERMOT in Cologne, 5-9th October 2016.
Dual marked with ECER22-05 and DOT FMVSS
No. 218, the new Speedster v3 retains all the
features of their original Speedster helmet,
with the same low profile shell shape and an
improved traditional leather lined interior,
which can now be removed for cleaning or
replacement. Replacement leather liners are
available in black, brown or nut brown
colours.
Davida MD David Fiddaman says: “The
technical team at Davida UK has put all of its
40 years of manufacturing experience into
our latest road-legal helmet, the Speedster
v3. So we are very excited to be revealing
this new product at INTERMOT 2016 in
Cologne, a show and a city that both have
had great significance for our development
as a company since the early 1980s”.
Fiddaman explained: “We have greatly
advanced the way we
manufacture GRP
composite helmet shells
in order to retain the
same low profile
shape, so that the
Speedster v3 now
satisfies the demands
of the highest modern
ECE R22-05 and DOT
safety standards”.
The Speedster v3 features
three shell sizes that allow
six helmet sizes from XS (54)
to XXL (61), traditional low profile GRP
composite shell, polystyrene shock
absorption liner, removable and replaceable,
full leather lined interior and optional studs
for fitting visors and peaks.
Fiddaman says that the new version “fulfils
our long-held ambition to produce a roadlegal version of the Speedster, a jet-style
helmet with a 26-year heritage that is
highly evocative of the 1970s, and
which is certified for road use in
the majority of countries covered
by the Davida global dealer
network”.
Founded in 1975, Davida UK is
an ISO 9001 accredited company
that is the sole manufacturer of
certified helmets in the UK.
Every single Davida helmet is still
hand-made at their factory near
Liverpool, England, “using timehonoured manufacturing techniques and
craftsmanship”.
