Mumbai, 08th June 2026: STUDDS Accessories Ltd., one of the world’s leading two-wheeler helmet manufacturers, has launched the STUDDS Trooper Legacy Shield Helmet, the latest addition to its DC Super-Heroes inspired range developed with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP). The Legacy Shield brings a new graphic identity to the Trooper, one of STUDDS’ most widely adopted modular helmets in the Indian market, combining a bold Superman-inspired design with the flip-up versatility and safety specifications the model is known for.
Building on its ongoing collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP), the Trooper Legacy Shield introduces a bold, typographic design expression to the Trooper model. The helmet features the iconic Superman “S” shield in a large-format graphic, complemented by the “SUPERMAN” wordmark on the crown and the “GREATEST DEFENDER” inscription on the chin bar, creating a cohesive, statement-making design that stands out on every ride.
A New Graphic Identity: The Legacy Shield Design
The Legacy Shield’s decal is built around a three-zone graphic hierarchy: the large-format Superman “S” shield on the upper rear of the shell, the “SUPERMAN” wordmark across the crown, and the “GREATEST DEFENDER” inscription on the chin bar. The composition reads as a unified visual story across the helmet rather than separate elements placed on a surface.
All five variants sit on a dark base, letting the iconography carry the visual weight without the shell becoming busy. The Black & White, Black & Grey and Black & Red variants progress from restrained to high-contrast in character. The two Metallic Foil options, in Teal and Red, use foil in the graphic zones rather than paint, producing a shinier, more intense light reflection that is unique to the foil material. “
Commenting on the launch of the STUDDS Trooper Superman Legacy Shield Helmet, Mr. Sidhartha Bhushan Khurana – Managing Director, STUDDS Accessories Ltd., said, “The Trooper Legacy Shield marks a new chapter in interpreting the Superman identity on a helmet. The “Greatest Defender” identity aligns naturally with what a helmet represents, reflecting its core purpose of protection on every ride. The Trooper has built a strong following in the modular segment in India and this design brings a graphic language to it that riders can genuinely connect with. We expect it to resonate strongly with riders who want their safety gear to make a statement.”
Full-Face Flip-Up Design for Everyday Versatility
The Trooper Legacy Shield features a full-face flip-up design that combines everyday convenience with full protection. Riders can lift the chin bar during short stops for ease of interaction, while it locks securely in place during rides, offering the safety and coverage of a closed-face helmet. This makes it well-suited for both city commuting and longer rides.
High-Impact Protection and Certified Safety
Constructed with a high-impact ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) outer shell and regulated density EPS liner, the Trooper Legacy Shield is engineered to absorb and distribute impact energy effectively. Certified by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) under ISI standards and by the Department of Transportation, USA (DOT), the helmet reflects STUDDS’ consistent commitment to delivering trusted protection for riders.
Hypoallergenic Replaceable Liner for Long-Ride Comfort
A hypoallergenic, replaceable inner liner helps reduce skin irritation during long rides while maintaining hygiene and comfort. It ensures a fresh fit across seasons and changing riding conditions.
Removable and Replaceable Lower Trim
The modular lower trim is removable and replaceable, simplifying maintenance and helping preserve the helmet’s finish over time.
Quick Release Visor Mechanics
The quick-release visor system enables riders to remove or refit the scratch-resistant visor without tools, making maintenance simple and ensuring clear visibility across riding conditions.
UV Resistant Paint Finish
A UV-resistant paint finish protects the Legacy Shield’s graphics and Metallic Foil colour treatments from prolonged sun exposure, ensuring the decal design retains its visual depth over the helmet’s lifetime.
Quick Release Chin Strap and Stainless-Steel Buckle
A quick-release chin strap enables fast, hassle-free fastening and removal, while a stainless-steel rust-proof buckle ensures reliable, weather-resistant fastening for every ride.
Price and Availability
The STUDDS Trooper Legacy Shield helmet is available in Medium, Large, and Extra-Large sizes across five colour variants, priced at INR 2425 (MRP, inclusive of all taxes).
