Akuma Releases Army-themed Helmet
Akuma releases Army-themed helmet
Akuma has a new military-themed helmet to go alongside its Air Force-inspired Stealth and Navy Ghost Rider.
Joining its air and sea counterparts is the new Akuma Apache helmet which takes its design cues from the U.S. Army.
Former Navy and Air Force customers have been extremely happy with our first two military themed helmets, says Kerry Harris, chairman and founder of Akuma. However, we get anywhere from 5-10 phone calls and emails a week from Army riders asking when we were going to produce a helmet they could be proud to wear?
The Apache also features some technological improvements from the Stealth and Ghost Rider helmets. Like the earlier military-themed helmets, the Apache features red light emitting diodes (LEDs) lighting in the exhaust vents for added visibility at night, and another LED mounted in the front, useful for checking a road map in low-light situations. For the Apache, Akuma upgraded the electronics, replacing the internal wiring with a circuit board with micro-resistors. The Apaches rear LEDs have two settings, constant on and flashing, which can be triggered by pressure switches
The Apache comes with a UV-resistant clear visor, but optional visors are available in smoked, chrome and AEGIS gold. It comes with a Remove Before Flight key chain and a wall charger. The Akuma Apache helmet is available for $429 at the Superbike Toy Store.
