Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog burst onto the scene in 1991. The Sega Genesis game console couldn’t contain the character’s star power, though. Over the years, the wisecracking Sonic spawned countless video game sequels, spin-offs, toys, animated television shows, and live-action film adaptations.
Thanks to helmet manufacturer HJC, now Sonic is entering a new space that aligns with his speed-obsessed personality—motorcycling. Leveraging the brand’s race-inspired RHPA 11 lid, HJC adds yet another pop culture-inspired graphic to its lineup. Most recently, the Call of Duty series partnered with the firm, and the new Sonic the Hedgehog-styled helmet pushes HJC even further into the video game space.
