Launching a New Name (1998)
Z1R Helmets was founded in 1998 with a clear purpose: to provide riders with performance helmets and gear for street, dirt and snow use. From the beginning, the brand set out to give attention to quality, safety and innovation as core pillars of its identity.
Expanding the Range
Over time, Z1R broadened its lineup beyond full‑face helmets to include three‑quarter, offroad, half and youth models. The brand also entered the apparel and gear space jackets, gloves, boots and outerwear aiming to offer full kit solutions for riders.
Safety, Features and Rider Value
A key to Z1R’s appeal has been balancing advanced features with accessible pricing. Many models carry DOT certification, and some include brain‑protection systems. The brand leans into innovation such as ventilation, shell design and comfort without pushing costs too high.
Built Around Rider Feedback
Feedback from real riders shapes Z1R’s evolution. Whether adjustments to fit, venting, weight or features, the brand listens to what riders want and adapts accordingly. This rider‑centric approach helps keep the gear relevant and practical.
A Brand with Global Footprint
While rooted in its early years, Z1R has grown its reach into multiple markets and developed partnerships across regions. Today, the brand is recognised among data‑driven, value focused helmet makers who combine style, protection and everyday usability.
