What makes carbon fiber so great anyway?
Carbon fiber in its raw form consists of extremely thin fibers. These fibers range between 0.005 – 0.010 millimeters in diameter. For reference human hair is between 0.06 and 0.08 millimeters in diameter. A single strand of human hair is more than 6 times thicker than a single strand of carbon fiber! Thousands of carbon fiber strands are twisted together to form yarn. The yarn is then woven at precise, intricate patterns to create carbon fiber cloth. At Super Seer we use this woven carbon fiber cloth to make our carbon fiber motorcycle helmets.
What are the benefits of using carbon fiber?
Carbon fiber is very lightweight and less dense than steel. For example, carbon fiber is 5 times stronger than steel but only 1/3 the weight. Carbon fiber requires less resin which also saves weight. This strength-to-weight ratio allows us to use less material while maintaining the same standards required when manufacturing a motorcycle helmet. Super Seer spent almost 18 months designing, testing, and developing the proper strength-to-weight ratio of carbon fiber to be used in the Seer carbon fiber motorcycle helmets.
What are the features of the Seer carbon fiber motorcycle helmets?
The All-New Seer S2102 / S2108 features new state-of-the-art technology including:

What are the features of the Seer carbon fiber motorcycle helmets?
The All-New Seer S2102 / S2108 features new state-of-the-art technology including:
- Uni-directional Advanced Composite Carbon Fibers are used to maximize weight reduction. The resulting helmet weight is reduced by 6 – 10oz.
- Custom designed carbon fiber angles are used to maximize strength and improve impact performance.
- A consistent shell thickness is achieved utilizing an all Uni-directional Aerospace Layup technology.
- The low-profile, long-oval aerodynamic shape improves fit and appearance for longer more comfortable rides.
