The First Italian Brand to Make a Flip-Up Helmet

When you think of Italian motorbike helmets, you think of style, innovation, and a deep love for two wheels. But there’s one milestone that truly set Caberg apart from the rest, we were the first Italian brand to design and produce a flip-up (modular) helmet.

This wasn’t just about making something new. It was about creating a helmet that matched the way real bikers ride, with freedom, practicality, and safety at the heart of it all.

The Birth of the Flip-Up Helmet Revolution

Back in the 1980s, the world of motorbike helmets was divided. Riders had to choose:

  • A full-face helmet for maximum safety, or
  • An open-face helmet for comfort and convenience.

Caberg saw the problem and set out to solve it.

We combined Italian design flair with cutting-edge engineering to create the world’s first modular flip-up helmet, giving bikers the best of both worlds. The result was a helmet that could switch effortlessly between full-face protection and open-face comfort, all without compromising on safety.

It changed the game.

Innovation Runs in Our DNA

At Caberg, innovation never stops. Every Caberg helmet is designed, tested, and produced in Italy, meeting the strictest ECE 22.06 safety standards.

From our legendary Caberg Duke II to the high-tech Caberg Levo Carbon, our modular helmets continue to push boundaries with lighter shells, integrated Bluetooth systems, advanced ventilation, and dual visor technology.

We don’t just follow trends; we set them.

Designed for Real Riders, Built for Real Roads

From city commuters to long-distance tourers, riders quickly embraced Caberg’s modular concept. It wasn’t just a new product, it was a new way to ride. With our flip-up design, you could:

  • Chat at the petrol station without removing your lid.
  • Take in the view on a scenic ride.
  • Keep cool in summer traffic.
  • Still enjoy the protection and aerodynamics of a top-tier full-face helmet.

That’s why even today, the Caberg flip-up helmet remains one of the most loved choices among UK bikers, practical, comfortable, and packed with style.

Italian Heritage, Global Recognition

Being the first Italian company to develop a flip-up helmet was more than a milestone, it was a declaration of what Caberg stands for: Safety. Passion. Performance.

Today, Caberg helmets are worn by riders across the globe who value Italian craftsmanship and real-world innovation. Whether you’re a daily commuter or a weekend adventurer, every Caberg helmet carries that same pioneering spirit that started the flip-up revolution.
