About BECK
BECK is a motorcycle accessories maker founded in New York

of motorcycle accessories. They also established system to set
out collaborative OEM production with other companies. Number
of their items increased year by year and they became the coast-to-coast

In 50’s, a half type is the mainstream as for the commercial
helmet. Because there was no classification criterion between
professional and amateur uses, the helmets used for touring
and racing such as dirt track had the same specification. In
the times without duty of helmet use, motorcycle riding with
a helmet was luxurious and exclusive statuses. Thus, at that
time, a helmet was high-grade goods for motorcyclist and had
special aspects of exquisite workmanship.
