In the early, wildest era of choppers, motorcycles were stripped down to the bare bones and reduced to a minimum. This way, outlaws could flee to Mexico through the Baja California desert. Large 21-inch wheels were installed to provide stability on rough terrain at high speeds (like modern trail bikes), and forks were lengthened to give the suspension more travel and prevent bottoming out on jumps.
The Biltwell Rusty Butcher helmet recalls that era, where aesthetics and functionality were combined in a raw and forceful way.
This time, Californians Biltwell Inc. have teamed up with stuntman and somewhat hooligan Mark "Rusty Butcher" Atkins to offer a limited edition of their renowned Lane Splitter helmets.
The Biltwell Lane Splitter helmets are built around a reinforced ABS shell with an EPS inner layer for impact absorption and hand-stitched BioFoam padding for maximum comfort. Ventilation slots in the chin area force cool air into the helmet, leading to rear vents that expel hot air.
It features high-precision optics with a robust and simple mounting system that reinforces its minimalist design while facilitating disassembly and maintenance. Every detail has been carefully considered, including interior pockets in the ear cups to accommodate headphones or communication systems. Of course, Lane Splitter helmets are approved and comply with DOT and ECE safety regulations.
