Art & Speed at 200 MPH

Troy Lee Designs Heads to the Brickyard

There are few places in motorsport where pressure, precision, and performance collide like the Indianapolis 500. At over 200 MPH, every decision matters. Every moment matters. Every detail matters.

For more than four decades, Troy Lee Designs has built its legacy around the belief that helmets can be more than protection. They can tell stories. They can carry personality, confidence, and identity onto the world’s biggest stages.

This weekend at the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500, that legacy rolls onto the grid once again.

From the Troy Lee Designs Paint Shop, our creative hub and heartbeat, custom-painted helmets built for some of the world’s fastest racers will charge towards the Brickyard. Every stroke. Every layer. Every detail. A proclamation of Art & Speed at full gas.
