Troy Lee Designs began when Troy Lee — a motocross racer with a knack for design — started custom-painting helmets for friends and pros.
The brand quickly became synonymous with bold aesthetics and professional-grade performance.
Today, TLD sponsors elite athletes and teams across MTB and moto, including Canyon Factory Racing, GasGas Factory Racing, and Red Bull Rampage riders.
What sets TLD apart? A unique fusion of artistic expression and safety innovation that makes every product as stylish as it is functional.
