History of classic helmets :
The first real motorcycle helmets appeared after the war, adopting a vintage look and today Mârkö has been inspired by period helmets to develop its range of classic helmets. This range is made up of 5 models, all different from each other but which remain in a neo-retro look.
There are 2 types of helmets: jets and full-faces.
The Full Moon 2 helmet :
Mârkö Helmets' best-seller, the “Full Moon”, is getting a makeover with the arrival of the “Full Moon 2”. This new helmet is based on the codes of the previous generation, but offers major improvements and changes, making it a must-have model.
The Full Moon 2 revisits the iconic design of full-face helmets from the 60s while incorporating modern innovations. With its fibreglass shell, low, slim chin strap and exceptionally wide field of vision, it's ideal for comfortable, safe urban riding. Its removable antibacterial fabric interior, Intercom-compatible foams and redesigned ventilation system ensure optimum comfort in all conditions.
Designed to be customised, the Full Moon 2 offers unique options: a removable visor to fit a mask, coloured screws, and a choice of three types of visor, with the option of Pinlock to prevent fogging.

Its visor allows it to have a style that leaves no one indifferent and thus breaks the codes! The Dark Side is unique and aggressive. This helmet was designed to suit vintage motorcycle enthusiasts but also for athletes and has the new CE 22.06 approval.
