Australian startup Forcite announced the impending launch of its first helmet back in 2019. Like many companies with international sales ambitions, it set its sights on rolling out in its home market first before moving on to other regions. In 2022, it took what it had learned from customer feedback about the MK1 and released the latest version: the MK1S.
In February 2023, the Forcite MK1S debuted in Italy—and not long after that, finally also made its way to the US. Through an exclusive distribution deal with Tucker Powersports that was announced in late 2022, the US was about to gets its first taste of what Forcite had to offer riders. Could it deliver an experience that riders would welcome?
