ASK THE MXPERTS: IN SEARCH OF AN ICONIC HELMET BRAND

Danny Laporte made the Techno helmet famous, but it was never sold in the USA.

Dear MXperts,

I remember a very stylish helmet from the ’80s that was worn by Danny LaPorte when he won the 250  World Championship. What was it called? Where can I get one?

Hakan Carlqvist.

In the 1980s, Danny LaPorte, Mike Guerra and Hakan Carlqvist wore French-built Techno helmets. They were stylish for the day, but are long gone from the market. They were never sold in the United States.
