OGK Helmets, based in Japan, produce OGK motorcycle helmets for racing. Their motto is “the next generation” of racing. What makes OGK helmets truly unique? The most important factors in choosing a racing helmet are collision protection, comfort and maneuverability and style. How do OGK helmets fare in all three categories?

OGK Helmets

OGK helmets offer several lines of helmets: the FF4 Venom, the FF4GP, the FF-4 and the FF-M, the FF-3GP, the Aeroblade, the Aeroblade-2, Aeroblade-2 Monda, and the RG-X and the EX-V. The Aeroblade series claims to “cut up the wind” and contribute to high speed performances. These helmets feature ABS/PC alloy material shell, a shatter top ventilation system, a quick change shield system, a washable inner lining, side pods and shield cover, a shield ratchet set and inner pads and cheek pads. Performance wise these helmets are made durable and protect against collisions, and bring added comfort to a racer's face and head area. These helmets also offer much in the way of style, being available in a few dazzling color combinations, including red/silver/blue, black/silver/gunmetal, black/silver/blue and yellow/silver/red among others. These helmets come with visors but also feature a breath guard to stop fogging.

OGK FF4 GP Helmet

The OGK FF4 GP helmets feature some very innovative features. This series of helmet has air conditioning function, which is made possible by utilizing negative pressure, and is the first invention of its kind in the world, having already received a patent. What better way to feel comfortable on a hot racing day than to feel cool air all over your face! The OGK Helmets FF4 series also use carbon composite technology in their design of the helmet's material along with normal glass fibers, which gives the helmet a natural strength and resilience. FF4 Motorcycle Helmets also feature detachable interiors for easy removal whether for comfort or regular washing. Finally the OGK Motorcycle Helmet has a quick shield change system. The shield itself is resistant against scratching, and collisions with insects or small rocks. Ordinarily, these would be dangerous events in terms of distracting the racer from the road, but with the shield system the view is no longer hindered. This system also allows for quick exchanges, which is very important in a pit stop situation during racing.
