The Classic Café Racer Look
Classic style, refined. Our Hedonist open-face models and the Epicurist range capture the sleek, stripped-back silhouette that defined the movement in rich colorways, polished hardware, and a timeless brow line. Under the surface, a lightweight, multiaxial fiberglass shell and multi-EPS sizes provide modern protection without excess weight. Inside, a plush, washable interior keeps things fresh; discreet vents maintain airflow when the pace and and the weather pick up.
Open Face vs Full Face for Café Racers
For riders who want the wind and the view, our open-face range fits perfectly. They deliver clarity and comfort, with visors and shields available to keep bugs and grit at bay on city rides or longer runs.

Each piece in this collection is inspired by the past but built for good times on today’s roads. Think classic stance, modern assurance, and quality that reflects the craft, the kind of helmet you’ll reach for before every ride.
Hedonist & Epicurist Open-Face Models
The minimalist icon for everyday wear. Low-profile, handcrafted, and instantly stylish, the Hedonist & Epicurist Open Face collection is your ticket to that clean, retro line without the bulk. This helmet takes everything riders love about heritage lids and brings it forward with comfort, stability, and finish dialed in. There’s plenty of room for goggles, and the proportions stay tight at speed. This is how open-face should feel after years of refinement.
Epicurist Range
Open-face freedom with a refined shield for longer stretches. Epicurist keeps the silhouette sleek and the vision clear. It means smooth airflow, a snug interior you’ll actually wear, and a visor that snaps down with purpose. From the trim and the hardware to the hand finish, some small touches you’ll only notice once you own it.
Not sure which way to go? Start with Hedonist for the pure café profile, or choose Epicurist if you want the shielded, long-ride option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your cafe racer motorcycle helmets DOT and ECE approved?
Yes. Every Hedon café lid is DOT or ECE 2206 certified for modern road use, combining a lightweight shell with tuned EPS for confident, day-in, day-out performance.
Open face or full face helmet for a café racer?
Both fit the brief. Choose open face for that classic line and easy visor swaps; go full face if you want a chin bar, added weather coverage, and longer-haul confidence.
What’s inside the shell?
A multiaxial fiberglass shell, multi-EPS sizes, and a plush interior that can be cleaned with soapy water and a sponge (allow 48 hours to dry before use). Our café racer helmets are designed for comfort, stability, and a low-profile look on the bike.
Can I customize mine?
Absolutely. From accessories to finishes, use our Custom Service to create a unique piece that pairs perfectly with your motorcycle and personal style.
