Caberg has stopped exporting their DOT approved helmets into the USA.

In 2005 Nichols Motorcycle Supply began distributing Caberg Helmets into the United States. In August of 2007, Nichols officially severed their relationship with the Caberg manufacturer. During the 2 years Nichols was supplying US Retailers with Caberg helmets, they were not keeping up with the high demand for the Caberg line. Retailers and their customers were becoming frustrated with frequent stock shortages and delays bringing new stock into the country.

Why did they eventually stop? COST. Because the value of the US Dollar is significantly lower than the EU Euro, European products are much more expensive to import compared to products manufactured in countries like China. For a US Distributor to properly profit from importing a European made helmet line, the helmets would have to retail for an amount that would not seem reasonable to most US Consumers.
