Michael SatterfieldIn a fusion of heavy metal and high-octane engineering, Ruroc has unveiled the EOX Iron Maiden Collection, a limited-edition series of motorcycle helmets that pay homage to the legendary band Iron Maiden. This collaboration introduces two distinctive designs: “Piece of Mind” and “The Writing on the Wall,” each inspired by iconic Iron Maiden album artwork.
Iron Maiden-Inspired Helmets
Piece of Mind: Drawing inspiration from Iron Maiden’s 1983 album, this motorcycle helmet features imagery of the band’s mascot, Eddie, restrained in chains, symbolizing a struggle for freedom. The design is set against a dark backdrop with blood-red accents, capturing the album’s intense energy.
