Different Types of Motorcycle Helmets
2
The helmet is the most basic and essential among
different motorcycle safety gears.
A quick look at deaths due to motorcycle
accidents will tell you that close to a quarter
of deaths is because of head injuries.
There are various types of motorcycle helmets in
the market and each serves a different purpose.
3
Full-face Helmets
True-blue motorcyclists swear by full-face
helmets, and for good reason. These helmets
protect your entire head and face, which makes
them the safest among all helmet types. On the
downside, this also makes them heavy.
4
Half Helmets
Half helmets cover the top and back part of your
head. The absence of a jaw and rear section makes
these helmets significantly lighter than
full-face ones. This style offers the lowest
level of protection.
5
Off-road Helmets
These helmets are primarily meant for
motorcyclists who are into intense off-road
riding. The main purpose of off-road helmets is
to provide better ventilation, which explains
their lighter weight and airy design.
6
Three-quarter Helmets
Commonly confused with half-face helmets,
three-quarter helmets cover everything except the
riders face. Motorcyclists who need a helmet for
short distance riding within the city may opt for
this helmet.
7
Dual-sport Helmets
Dual-sport helmets combine the best of highway
and off-road helmets. They are lighter than
normal full-face helmets and offer better
visibility as well. Dual-sports are perfect for
riders who go off-road occasionally.
8
Modular Helmets
As apparent from their name, modular helmets can
function either as full-face or three-quarter
helmets. They are also known as flip-up helmets
and are preferred for the flexibility they offer.
