CGM competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Airoh: Italian motorcycle helmet manufacturer covering full-face, modular, off-road and adventure segments with ECE homologation. Direct competitor on home turf, with similar design-driven positioning and overlapping dealer base in Europe.
- MT Helmets (MTNG): Spanish helmet specialist offering ECE-certified full-face, modular, jet and off-road helmets at value-to-mid price points, distributed across Europe and emerging markets. Comparable to CGM on target customer (commuter and entry-level sport rider), product breadth and dealer-led GTM.
- LS2 Helmets: Spanish-origin mid-market motorcycle helmet manufacturer with a similarly broad helmet range (full-face, modular, jet, off-road) and aggressive price positioning. Closely comparable to CGM on product mix, ECE homologation focus and multi-region distribution through dealer networks.
- SMK Helmets: Spanish-owned helmet manufacturer focused on full-face, open-face, modular and junior helmets at value price points, distributed across Europe and emerging markets. Closely comparable to CGM on price tier, ECE homologation and broad category coverage.
- Shiro Helmets: Spanish budget-to-mid helmet brand with ECE-certified full-face, modular, jet and junior ranges targeting commuter and entry-level riders. Comparable to CGM's SKA-P sub-brand in positioning and price tier, and competes for similar dealer shelf space in Southern Europe.
- Nexx Helmets: Portuguese helmet maker offering full-face, modular, adventure and open-face ECE-certified helmets with European design language. Comparable to CGM on product segmentation, premium-leaning value positioning and EMEA distribution model.
Broad incumbents
- Schuberth: German premium helmet maker (part of Helmet Integrated Systems) specializing in modular and system helmets with strong European touring and commuter positioning. Overlaps with CGM in the modular / commuter segment at a higher price tier.
- Bell Helmets: American heritage helmet brand covering motorcycle, bicycle and snow helmet segments. Overlaps with CGM in motorcycle helmets and — through Bell's cycling/snow range — with CGM Sport, but at higher brand awareness and a wider geographic footprint.
- HJC Helmets: Korean global helmet manufacturer with extensive full-face, modular and off-road ranges distributed worldwide. Competes with CGM across multiple categories but operates at significantly larger scale and with global — not just EMEA — distribution.
- AGV: Italian premium helmet brand owned by Dainese Group, leader in racing and sport motorcycle helmets. Competes with CGM in the same Italian/European dealer channel but at materially higher ASPs and brand equity, anchoring the upper end of the segments CGM addresses.
