Sweet Protection’s Hyper Violet Bushwhacker just landed at Hugga HQ, and even though I wasn’t in the market for a new lid (my Kalis have served me well), I couldn’t resist. I’ve got a new demo bike—a Tern Orox—and visibility on the road is non-negotiable. Short of neon safety green, I can’t imagine a more eye-catching hue. Beyond the color, the fit is spot-on—super comfy and perfectly snug. It showed up just as the seasons shifted, and wow—my summer just got a whole lot brighter (and bolder). Whether you’re shredding singletrack, carving rapids, or simply trying to stay visible to traffic, this might be your new go-to helmet. I’m riding out the season with the Bushwhacker 2Vi Mips, and I’m already hooked.
Bonus…the paint matches the Bosch controller.
A Colorway That Speaks Volumes
Sweet Protection isn’t messing around with this special-edition hue. There are two ways to rock Hyper Violet:
- Hyper Violet Fade: A smooth transition from deep violet to an electric pop of blue—perfect for showing off speed and movement on the trail.
- Black Hyper Violet: All the intensity of violet with a stealthy black base for a sleek, no-nonsense look .
What’s in the Collection?

Why Hyper Violet?
According to Sweet Protection, Hyper Violet isn’t just a shade—it’s an attitude. It channels the adrenaline of high-speed pursuits and the raw intensity of the outdoors. Whether you’re smashing through singletrack, sprinting down asphalt, or navigating a gnarly rapid, this colorway is there to remind you—and everyone else—that you’re here to perform, and you’re here to stand out. I’m just commuting but fine. I like the attitude.
