The Giveaway
We have partnered with Bike EXIF and four of the world's leading helmet artists—Hello Cousteau, Vaim.me, Papeel and Tagger Designs—to offer you the chance to co-create your own custom NEXX X.G100 Racer helmet. Four winners will be chosen on September 30, 2019 to win a helmet designed as you like it—you choose the theme and colors, and the artists do the rest. You can even DOUBLE your chances of winning by following our Instagram page @nexxnorthamerica!
The Artists
Hello Cousteau / @hellocousteau
After spending all his professional career designing a little bit of everything from toothpicks to 180-meters mega-yacht interiors, the design force behind Hello Cousteau got bored. But what bored him the most was when he went to a bunch of motorcycle/helmet shops and couldn’t find a single good looking helmet that he’d fancy. “They all looked the same with no individuality whatsoever”. So, that was it... Hello Cousteau was born. New concepts are dreamed up on the daily from a studio in Porto, Portugal.
Vaim / @vaim.me
Viktoria Greiner, founder of Vaim.me, started her career as a design engineer focusing on colors and patterns. In 2016, she took her skills to the skate world, painting skateboards and downhill helmets, but she was shortly after introduced to the motorcycle community Loose Screw and her focus shifted to all things two-wheeled. A trickle of requests for motorcycle helmets and tanks painted in her signature skate-style turned into a full-fledged business, and she is now an active part of the moto-community. Greiner works out of a design studio in Munich, Germany.
Papeel / @papeel
Pamela Reis is an artist, graphic designer and expert free-hand painter. Reis combines pyrography, brush work and digital illustration to showcase her unique creativity, and her hand-painted artwork won The Gnarly Magazine Tank Art Contest in 2019. Outside of her visual art, she is also a musician, and the combination of the two artists personas are what brought to life The Papeel, where her creativity is expressed with unabashed freedom.
Tagger Designs / @taggerdesigns
Tag Gasparian grew up in Laguna Beach, California, and began drawing at age 14, influenced and inspired by surf art and the ocean itself. In the 1980s he became a pro surfer and began painting his own boards, which kicked off a run of 20+ years in which he airbrushed surfboards and t-shirts for friends and team members. He eventually took his SoCal beach style and put it onto motorcycle helmets, and is now a renowned painter in the Motocross world. He continues the work from his studio, Tagger Designs, in Lake Elsinore, CA.
The Helmet
The X.G100 Racer
The X.G100 R (RACER) is a modern re-issue of the legendary racing helmets from the 70s. The retro, round shell is fitted with a smooth-lifting shield that snaps into place whether you need the visor fully open, cracked, or closed tightly against wind or rain. The proprietary X-Matrix shell offers a strength-to-weight ratio previously unheard of in a retro helmet, and the underlying X.Mart Dry liner and chin vent are your built-in climate control. The X.G100 R is the most comfortable and best-performing helmet of its style.
