New 2026 Simpson Helmet Graphics and Finishes

The 2026 collection introduces:
- Schultz Designz custom artwork collab
- Wildfire flame graphics

- Americana-inspired Speed Bandit color options
- Specialty M30 designs
According to Simpson, the brand focused heavily on giving riders more options while maintaining the aggressive attitude that made the Bandit series so legendary.
Ghost Bandit Gets Forged Carbon Treatment
The Simpson Ghost Bandit remains one of the most recognizable motorcycle helmets on the market, especially among Harley bagger riders and club style builds. For 2026, the standout addition is the return of the Forged Carbon Ghost Bandit helmet.
The Ghost Bandit still delivers the rider-focused features that made it popular:
- Integrated internal sun visor
- Aggressive aerodynamic shell design
- Ventilation system for highway riding
- Speaker and communication pockets
- DOT and ECE certification
- Club style and performance bagger appeal
Mod Bandit Introduces Wildfire and Future Glory Graphics
The Simpson Mod Bandit continues to dominate the modular performance helmet category with its aggressive styling and rider-friendly functionality. For 2026, Simpson introduced several new graphics that dramatically change the visual personality of the helmet.
Wildfire Graphics
The new Wildfire Mod Bandit delivers a classic hot rod inspired flame design available in either Yellow Wildfire or Silver Wildfire colorway. The graphics tap directly into Simpson's motorsports heritage while giving Harley riders a helmet that stands out at bike nights, shows, and highway pulls.
Future Glory Design
The Future Glory Mod Bandit updates Simpson's older patriotic-themed graphics with ghost flame effects layered into a stars-and-stripes design. The result is a more modern and subtle performance look while still carrying strong Americana styling.
Simpson also brought in the Simpson x Buell Forged Carbon collaboration. With Buell bringing to market the new Super Cruiser, Simpson is continuing to capture the attention of a wider range of riders.
Speed Bandit - Americana and 12 O'Clock Graphics
The Speed Bandit remains Simpson's more affordable full-face option, and the 2026 collection gives it significantly more visual attitude.
New graphics include:
The Americana designs feature patriotic striping and flag-inspired graphics, while the 12 O'Clock editions bring stunt-inspired styling and a more aggressive street appearance.
Despite its lower price point, the Speed Bandit continues offering features riders expect from premium helmets including aerodynamic shaping, shield locking systems, integrated ventilation, and aggressive street styling.
Outlaw Bandit 3 x Schultz Designz Collaboration
The legendary Outlaw Bandit 3 receives one of the most visually unique additions in the 2026 lineup through a collaboration with Taylor Schultz of Schultz Designz in the 2026 Schultz Outlaw Bandit 3.
The Outlaw Bandit 3 also benefits from updated construction and rider-focused improvements including:
- Lightweight tri-blend composite shell
- Improved shield ratchet system
- Optimized shell sizing
- Enhanced ventilation
- DOT and SNELL M2020 certification
- Twice Embedded NFC smart safety feature technology
The result is a modernized version of one of the most recognizable motorcycle helmet shapes ever produced.
New M30 Bandit Graphics Join the 2026 Collection
Simpson also expanded the M30 Bandit lineup with fresh graphics and carbon finishes for 2026. New options like the Carbon Slipline and Lifter White bring retro-inspired styling into a more modern performance-oriented package.
The M30 continues appealing to riders who want a vintage silhouette without giving up modern helmet safety and comfort technologies.
Why Simpson Helmets Continue to Dominate Harley Performance Culture

The 2026 lineup reinforces that identity by combining:
