While a helmet might be the most important piece of safety gear a biker can carry, choosing the right one is critical. While brand name and price are important factors, they’re not the only ones to consider. Motorcycle helmets should bear the seal of approval of a recognized accrediting body, such as the British Standards Institution (BSI), SAI Global, or TUV Rheinland. These marks provide assurance that a product meets the standards required by AS/NZS 1698. More info – moto1.nz

Helmets Designed For High Speeds

For riders who are more concerned with price, Bell has introduced two new versions of its popular Star line. Both are designed to reduce impact energy and improve the cushioning effect of the crash. The Bell Star was one of the first full-face head protection helmets to hit the market. In 1968, it became the world’s first motorcycle helmet with an EPS layer, making it a popular choice for riders of all levels. Now, it’s available in a variety of shell shapes that fit any rider’s style.

Half-helmets are perhaps the least protective of the three types. They’re mostly worn for image reasons because they are lighter than full-face helmets. They don’t cover the entire head, only covering the base of the skull in the back. Additionally, a half-helmet doesn’t have a visor. However, some bikers wear goggles when riding their classic bikes.
