Mod Bandit Forged Carbon

Simpson Mod Bandit Forged Carbon Helmet

New for 2026, the Mod Bandit Forged Carbon pairs Simpson's modular touring features with a lightweight forged carbon shell and a distinctive nonwoven carbon pattern. It is built for riders who want the convenience of a flip-up chin bar without settling for a conventional modular-helmet appearance.

Fit and Sizing

Head shape: Intermediate oval

Important Simpson fit note: Simpson states that the Mod Bandit runs a full size larger than its published sizing chart. Select accordingly, and try the helmet on in store whenever possible.

Measure around the widest part of your head, about one inch above the eyebrows and over the ears. The helmet should feel evenly snug without painful pressure points. A size chart is a starting point, and an in-store fit check is recommended whenever possible.
