After the initial bike purchase, a helmet is the second most important purchase you will make. An essential item where safety is concerned, but safety doesn't have to be dull and boring as you will see. It can be difficult deciding what type of motorcycle helmet to choose, what brand, what price range etc.This page is designed to make it that bit easier, laying out the difference between and Shoei helmet and an Airoh as well as details about the manufacturing process.

What's the difference between a flip-up helmet, full face helmets and Moto-X helmet?

Moto-X Bike Helmets: The Moto-X helmets are suitable for off road use, with features such as adjustable peak extensions for light diffusion and grip pads for secure google placement.
Full Face Helmets: The full face helmet offers all round protection with benefits such as luxurious removable lining, anti-fog / anti-scratch visors, ventilation for keeping cool in the summer months and stuning graphics.
Flip-up Helmets: Flip-up motorbike helmets are basically two for the price of one. When closed they offer all the benefits off a full face helmet, when opened they act as an open-face helmet, perfect for the summer months.

Life expectancy of a motorcycle helmet and helmet care

How long your helmet lasts depends on the quality of the helmet and the care it receives. If your helmet receives a heavy knock (for example if you drop it outside) or, of course, if you have an accident you should replace the helmet immediately. Any crash or a drop from as little as 4ft can damage your helmet. The exterior may appear to be fine but the internals could be damaged. A helmet is designed to protect you in an accident, but only once and should not be used again afterwards.

To clean a gloss motorcycle lid we recommend using the same products you would use to clean your motorbike paintwork. Use soap and warm water for matt finish helmets. Do not apply severe pressure, instead apply several treatments. Removable liners can be machine washed at 30 and drip dried. For non-removable liners you may wish to use anti-bacterial freshening sprays.

A helmet that is well looked after can last anything between 2-5 years, we would then recommend replacing it for a new one. Do not sell or give your old helmet away as you may be putting someone else in danger. Never buy a second hand helmet as you do not know if it has been dropped!!!
