Simpson Darksome

Simpson Darksome is a flip-up motorcycle helmet range that combines the brand's angular styling with a hinged chin section. Moto Central's collection contains complete Darksome helmets from more than one catalogue generation alongside visors, Pinlock inserts and replacement chin-bar covers.

Understanding the Darksome catalogue

Current complete-helmet listings include plain, carbon, metal, Wildfire and Hellfire finishes, with selected products explicitly named ECE 22.06. Simpson's official European information describes the newer Darksome as a modular helmet with one-handed chin-guard opening, an internal sun visor, provision for a communication system and a Pinlock-compatible outer visor.

Choosing a Simpson Darksome

• Start with fit: measure around the widest part of the head and compare it with Simpson's relevant size chart.
• Operate the chin section: check that the release is easy to reach and that the helmet remains secure when closed.
• Review the approval: if you intend to ride with the chin section open, confirm the exact helmet's approval for that configuration.
• Separate accessories: visors, Pinlock inserts and chin-bar covers are replacement components, not complete helmets.

Why buy Simpson Darksome from Moto Central?

Moto Central lets you compare the active helmet finishes and model-specific accessories together while keeping the product type clear. Our Leicestershire showroom also gives riders the opportunity to assess fit, chin-section operation and glasses or intercom clearance in person.

Customer questions

Is every item a Darksome helmet?

No. The collection also contains outer visors, a Pinlock insert and replacement chin-bar covers.

Are all Darksome helmets ECE 22.06?

Not every listing is named that way. Use the exact product page and helmet label to confirm the approval of the version selected.

Does every helmet include a Pinlock insert?

Do not assume so. The collection includes a separately sold insert, and supplied contents can vary by helmet listing.
