FAQs
What certifications does the Simpson Speed Solid helmet have?
This helmet model is delivered with ECE certification by default. Please check specific product listings or contact customer service if DOT or other certifications are required.
Does the helmet come with a Pinlock insert?
No, the helmet is Pinlock-ready, meaning it has the necessary posts for a Pinlock anti-fog insert. The Pinlock insert itself is sold separately.
How do I clean the helmet's interior?
The comfort liner is fully removable and washable. Hand wash it with mild soap and cool water, and allow it to air dry completely before reassembling.
Can I replace the clear visor with the dark smoke visor?
Yes, the helmet includes both a clear visor and an additional dark smoke visor. You can swap them out using the side pivot screws. Instructions for visor removal and installation are provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section.
Is this helmet suitable for all weather conditions?
The helmet is designed for general riding. Its ventilation features are beneficial in warmer weather. For cold or wet conditions, using a Pinlock insert is highly recommended to prevent fogging.
What is the weight of the helmet?
The Simpson Speed Solid is described as a lightweight helmet. Specific weight details may vary slightly by size, but it is designed to minimize rider fatigue.
Can I install a communication system in this helmet?
Yes, the helmet features integrated speaker cut-outs, making it compatible with most common motorcycle communication systems.
Troubleshooting
Visor fogs up excessively
Ensure the visor is properly closed and locked. Use the included Pinlock-ready feature by installing an anti-fog Pinlock insert (sold separately). Ensure good airflow by opening chin vents.
Helmet feels loose or uncomfortable
The helmet comes in three shell sizes. Ensure you have selected the correct shell size for your head. The interior padding may also need time to break in. Consider trying a different size if discomfort persists.
Ventilation seems insufficient
Open all vents, including the brow vents, chin vents, and rear exhaust vents. Ensure no obstructions are blocking the vent openings. On very hot days, some heat buildup is normal, but airflow should be noticeable.
Strap (Double D-ring) is difficult to fasten
Ensure the D-rings are correctly aligned. Thread one D-ring through the other, then pull it back through the loop. Tighten until snug but comfortable. Practice makes perfect with this system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Visor Installation: The helmet comes with a clear visor pre-installed and an additional dark smoke visor. To swap visors, locate the side pivot screws. Depending on the mechanism, you may need a small tool or simply unscrew them by hand. Carefully remove the old visor and attach the new one, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
- Pinlock Installation: If using a Pinlock anti-fog insert, ensure the visor is clean and free of debris. Attach the silicone seals on the visor and carefully align and press the Pinlock pins into the corresponding holes on the visor. The Pinlock insert should create a sealed air pocket.
- Communication System: Install speakers into the designated cut-outs inside the helmet liner. Route wires carefully to avoid pinching.
Compatibility:
- Visor: Compatible with Simpson Speed Shield replacements and Pinlock anti-fog inserts.
- Communication Systems: Designed to accommodate most standard motorcycle communication system speakers.
- Retention System: Features a standard Double D-ring system.
Care:
- Exterior: Clean the polycarbonate shell with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Interior Liner: The hypoallergenic comfort liner is fully removable and washable. Hand wash with mild detergent and cool water. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Shield: Clean the visor regularly with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution specifically designed for helmet visors. Do not use paper towels, as they can scratch the surface.
