Trusted by Leading Cycling Brands Worldwide.

Private label manufacturing offers one of the fastest and most effective ways to launch or expand your own line of helmets. By partnering with an experienced ODM/OEM manufacturer like SPIRIT, you leverage years of existing research, development, and perfected production processes. This dramatically reduces your initial investment and time-to-market. At SPIRIT, we offer a portfolio of market-proven designs that can be customized to fit your brand's unique identity. You can select the shape, ventilation pattern, and features, and we will apply your logos, colorways, and packaging to create your exclusive private label cycle helmet. This process gives you a high-quality, fully certified product without the multi-year timeline of designing from scratch. Furthermore, you benefit from our massive economies of scale in material purchasing and production, resulting in a competitive price point. For brands looking to establish a strong presence quickly, a private label cycle helmet from a trusted source like SPIRIT is the most strategic and efficient path to success.

The creation of a high-performance cycle helmet is a marvel of modern manufacturing, centered around a technique called in-mold construction. This process is key to achieving the light weight and strength that top-tier helmets are known for. It begins with a thin, durable polycarbonate outer shell, which is placed into a precision-engineered mold. Then, tiny expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam beads are injected into the mold under intense pressure and heat. The heat causes the beads to expand and fuse together, forming the protective inner liner. Crucially, in this same step, the expanding EPS foam bonds directly to the inside of the polycarbonate shell, creating a single, integrated piece. This fusion makes the entire cycle helmet structure stronger and allows for the design of larger, more effective vents without compromising safety. At SPIRIT, we have perfected this in-mold process over nearly two decades, ensuring a flawless bond and structural integrity in every cycle helmet we produce.

While all helmets are designed for safety, the specific design of a cycle helmet is tailored to the unique demands of its intended cycling discipline. A road cycling helmet is optimized for speed and long hours in the saddle; therefore, its primary features are light weight and maximum ventilation, with a sleek, aerodynamic profile. In contrast, a mountain bike (MTB) helmet is built for the ruggedness of trail riding. It provides greater head coverage, especially at the back of the head, and almost always includes a visor to shield from sun and debris. A commuter or urban cycle helmet focuses on the needs of daily transport. This often means enhanced visibility with integrated lights or reflective elements, more durable construction to withstand daily use, and a more subtle, stylish aesthetic that pairs well with regular clothing. At SPIRIT, our engineering teams are experts in these nuances, ensuring every cycle helmet we produce is perfectly matched to its end-use, delivering the right balance of safety, comfort, and performance.

Customizing a cycle helmet is what transforms a great product into your great product. At SPIRIT, we provide a comprehensive suite of customization options to bring your brand identity to life. The process begins with color. Our clients can specify any color using the Pantone Matching System to ensure perfect brand consistency. Next is the finish; we can produce a helmet in a high-gloss, sleek matte, or a combination of both for a premium look. Graphic application is a critical step, where we employ techniques like high-quality water slide decals for intricate, detailed logos and heat transfer for durable, full-coverage graphics. But customization doesn't stop at the shell. We offer custom-colored straps, unique buckle mechanisms, and branded retention system dials. Even the internal padding can be customized for color and comfort. The entire design and development process for a custom cycle helmet at SPIRIT is a collaborative journey to ensure every detail reflects your brand's unique vision and quality standards.
