Street Bike Helmets

Street Bike Helmets

Wearing a helmet when riding a street bike, should come as a no-brainer. Besdies, most states have laws requiring riders to wear a helmet and with the latest research on concussions, more and more street bike enthusiasts don't leave home without the proper head protection. We always say buy a $10 helmet if you have a $10 head. Since we believe no one has a $10 head we don't sell $10 helmets. We do sell $100 helmets. You see, all street bike helmets sold at MotoSport have passed the protection certification put forth by the Department of Transportation which you will see as "DOT certified" and others come with certification in Europe and/or Snell certified which is an independent non-profit organization. Ride with confidence that whatever street bike helmet you buy from MotoSport provides the latest in safety technology.

We often get questions on the difference between the more expensive street bike helmets compared to the moderately priced helmets and whether a higher price means better safety. You will find a more expensive helmet generally offers the same safety technology as a lesser priced helmet from the same manufacturer. The difference in cost comes from the construction materials and a host of other innovations built into the helmet that offers a more comfortable fit. For example, carbon fiber construction provides a much lighter weight helmet than a composite shell. Other features like the number of intake and exhaust ports, removable cheek pads and even what the fabric of the inner liner all factor into the overall costs.

The best street bike helmet for you fits right, feels good and allows you to smoothly operate the machine without restrictions. Often, the features built into a higher priced lid provide an immediate fulfillment for riders who look and feel for a particular need or fit - think custom made. But sometimes riders find the best fitting helmet comes with a modest price tag that provides an exceptional level of safety for years to come. The best advice? Find your price and start from there.
