To help you out with the decision, we have compiled a list of the best dual-sports helmets in 2021/2022!

Before we get on with our list of best dual-sports helmets, in the table below, you can find all the helmets along with their best perks!

Without further ado, let’s begin with our list of best adventure helmets for 2021 and 2022!

1) Arai XD-4 – Most Versatility

Kicking off our list of the best dual-sports helmets for the 2021 and 2022 seasons is the Arai XD-4. This is definitely the most versatile Arai helmet to date, as it can serve as an adventure helmet, a full-face helmet, and a motocross helmet. Let’s see what the buzz is all about!

Shell, Weight & Safety

Arai XD-4 has a fiberglass shell that isn’t the lightest, as it weighs 1,65 kg (3,6 pounds). However, when it comes to the safety factor, the XD-4 has DOT and ECE 22.05 safety ratings and the Snell rating. Sadly, there is no SHARP rating here, so we can assume it has at least 3 SHARP stars, just average.

Learn more about the safest motorcycle helmet brands in our guide!

Vision

Arai XD-4 dual-sports helmet comes with a clear face shield that isn’t quick release, but it is Pinlock-ready. There is a lot of aperture with this shield, so even if you take it off, you will be able to put glasses inside.

Next up, we have the peak that works as a sun shield or a roost guard when you ride off-road. It’s a bit wobbly, as it is designed to break from the helmet in case of an accident. Also, keep in mind that this peak will produce wind drag over 145 km/h (90 mph), even though it is quite aerodynamic.

Ventilation

Arai XD-4 has outstanding ventilation that is a welcome improvement over the old XD-3. It has:

  • 3 actuated chin vents
  • 2 brow vents in the face shield
  • A pair of large, actuated exhaust vents
  • 4 large rear exhaust vents

The ventilation that these vents provide is outstanding. It keeps your head cool and the face-shield fog-free. The only gripe over here is the shaky vent actuating mechanism, which tends to break off if you drop your helmet. Well, most Arai helmets have this issue.

Comfort

Arai XD-4 comes in a medium oval shape, which fits most riders out there. To increase the overall comfort of the XD-4, Arai has fitted it with a facial contouring system. Basically, this includes cheek pads that carefully break in to fit your face shape.

The inner liner is quite plush, fully removable – and of course, fully washable. Like any other Arai helmet, the XD-4 is one of the top dual-sports helmets for comfort.

Summary

With an ability to change between three configurations, fantastic ventilation, and a very comfortable interior – Arai XD-4 is undoubtedly one of the best dual-sports motorcycle helmets to pick for the 2021 or 2022 seasons! You can find it for $610/£443.

PROS

  • You can toggle three different combinations
  • Outstanding ventilation
  • Extra comfortable
  • Glasses-friendly
  • Peak is quite aerodynamic

CONS

  • Heavier than average
  • Peak produces wind drag
  • Wobbly vent mechanism

2) Bell MX-9 Adventure MIPS – Best Value

Bell MX-9 Adventure is truly a bargain, and that makes it one of the best dual-sports motorcycle helmets of 2021 and 2022. It’s a durable dual-sports motorcycle helmet packed with valuable features even some more expensive helmets don’t have. Let’s dive right in!

Shell, Weight & Safety

Bell MX-9 comes with a polycarbonate shell that weighs 1,59 kg (3,5 pounds). It comes with ECE and DOT certifications but no Snell or SHARP ratings. Well, we are sure that the MIPS integration can work wonders when it comes to crashes. You see, MIPS is an addition to the inner liner that provides multi-directional impact protection.

Vision

The Bell MX-9 Adventure MIPS comes with a clear face shield with a four-position ratchet operation. It’s a good shield, with excellent sealing but with a few nitpicks. First of all, the first detent is pretty good for visibility, but if you go above the cracked open position, the ridge at the bottom of the shield will block your vision.

If you wish to go off-road, you can remove the face shield and put goggles inside, as the shield aperture is pretty nice and wide. The sun peak is fixed to the helmet, and you cannot adjust it without first unscrewing and moving it. It performs pretty well, but above 70 mph (113 km/h), you will feel it tamper with your ride, especially during shoulder checks.

More of Bell helmet reviews!

Ventilation

One of the best segments of the Bell MX-9 Adventure MIPS is its ventilation scheme. It has got plenty of vents, such as:

  • Three chin vents (central one is actuated)
  • Two passive forehead vents
  • Four passive exhaust vents

You don’t need to worry about feeling hot during the scorching hot rides with such a combination.

Comfort

When it comes to the interior of the MX-9 MIPS, it’s been upgraded from the regular MX-9 helmet due to the inclusion of the MIPS. The inner liner is quite comfortable, removable, washable – and surprised us pleasantly. Sadly, it’s a bit hard to fit in glasses or sunglasses inside due to thicker cheek pads than usual.

Summary

For just $165/£120, the Bell MX-9 Adventure MIPS is certainly a dual-sports helmet that provides the most value for your investment. It’s packed with features and comes with the MIPS liner that is awesome for extreme rides.

PROS

  • Tons of value for a sub-$200 helmet
  • MIPS integration for additional safety
  • Awesome ventilation
  • Wide shield aperture
  • Comfortable

CONS

  • Hard to fit in glasses
  • Cannot adjust the peak regularly
  • Some visibility issues above the cracked open position

3) Scorpion EXO-AT950 – Runner-Up For Most Versatility

It’s hard to find a highly versatile dual-sports helmet at an affordable price. Well, the Scorpion EXO-AT950 has made it happen, with four different configurations (including a modular one). Well, let’s dive into yet another terrific entry in our list of best dual-sports motorcycle helmets of 2021 and 2022!

Shell, Weight & Safety

The EXO-AT950 has a polycarbonate shell that weighs 1,8 kg (4 pounds), which is definitely above average. However, when it comes to safety ratings, the EXO-AT950 has only DOT and ECE safety certificates. No Snell or SHARP ratings though, so the safety this helmet provides is pretty questionable.

Vision

The clear face shield on the AT950 is very wide and is optically correct. Unfortunately, it isn’t Pinlock-ready but has the Everclear antifog treatment.

Along with the clear face shield, there’s a drop-down sun visor in the mix. It also has the Everclear antifog treatment along with 95% of UV protection. Keep in mind that it sits pretty close to the face, so it will often hit your nose when fully down.

Check out more Scorpion helmet reviews!

The clear face shield has a wide aperture, so you can easily fit any goggles along with the strap instead of the shield. Great for off-road adventures! The peak is fixed in place, so you can’t adjust it. You can remove it by unscrewing a few screws, though.

The peak is pretty good when it comes to blocking the sun and debris, and it’s pretty aerodynamic to boot!

Chin Guard

As the Scorpion EXO-AT950 is essentially a modular helmet, let’s talk about its chin guard. It does have an EPS lining, which is great for increased safety. Still, this Scorpion dual-sports helmet isn’t dual homologated. That essentially means that it’s not recommended to wear this helmet with the chin guard up (read: in the modular configuration).

Ventilation

Scorpion EXO-AT950 is a bit lacking when it comes to the number of vents, as it only has:

  • Single chin vent with a three-way slider
  • An actuated crown vent

Basically, the chin vent can be in the closed position, shield position, and face position. On the other hand, you can only open or close the crown vent, which will direct all the air around the back of your head.

Venting is pretty solid, even though there is a small number of vents. This one will certainly keep you cool during the summer, but you may be tempted to put the chin guard up, which is not recommended if you value safety above all else.

Comfort

Like other Scorpion helmets, the EXO-AT950 has a KwikWick2 comfort liner inside. It’s fully removable and washable, and quite soft.

As the Scorpion EXO-AT950 suits medium oval head shapes the best, make sure that you do have such a head shape for maximum comfort.

Summary

In summary, Scorpion EXO-AT950 is one of the best dual-sports motorcycle helmets for the 2021/2022 seasons due to its high versatility. You can ride it on your motocross, adventure, and street bikes, and can even toggle a modular configuration. All of this costs only $270/£195.

PROS

  • Very affordable
  • Four different configurations
  • Solid venting
  • Comes with an inner sun visor
  • Comfortable if you have the right head shape

CONS

  • Not the lightest dual-sports helmet
  • Isn’t Pinlock-ready
  • Peak is fixed in place
  • Isn’t dual homologated

4) Shoei Hornet X2 – Best Build Quality

When it comes to the build quality, few come close to the awesomeness of the Shoei Hornet X2 dual-sports motorcycle helmet. Let’s find out why it has gotten on our best dual-sports motorcycle helmets for the 2021/2022 list!

Shell, Weight & Safety

First of all, the Hornet X2 helmet has a fiberglass shell that weighs 1,7 kg (3,75 lbs), which is a tad heavier than your average helmet. It makes up for this with its safety, including the DOT, ECE, and Snell safety ratings.

Also, it has an emergency quick release system for its cheek pads, which highly improves safety in an occurrence of a crash.

Vision

As it utilizes Shoei’s CNS-2 visor, you can expect an optically correct shield that is Pinlock-ready. If you want to wear goggles instead, you don’t need to remove the shield fully. Just open it fully, put in the goggles, and enjoy the off-road! Of course, the shield has a wide aperture, so a wide array of goggles will fit right in.

You can’t adjust the peak, but it has a great angle that promotes high aerodynamics. It’s great at blocking the sun, and it won’t interfere with your ride until you hit 80 mph (130 km/h). The only gripe here is that the peak leaves a small spot at the top of the helmet inside which rain can pour in.

Take a look at more Shoei helmet reviews!

Ventilation

The Shoei Hornet X2 adventure motorcycle helmet has a single actuated chin vent and a pair of brow vents on the front. Two vents underneath the peak are actuated with a small slider. It’s a solid vent scheme altogether.

The ventilation does a fairly good job of keeping you warm during the colder days and keeping you cool on hot days. Some people have their gripes with the venting of this helmet when it’s scorching hot, though.

Comfort

Shoei makes amazing inner liners, and with the Hornet X2, it’s no different. The inner liner is called 3D Max, is fully removable and washable, and will be comfortable even when sweating a lot. It’s fair to mention that it also comes with a nose guard and a chin curtain.

Summary

Overall, Shoei Hornet X2 is an awesome pick if you want the dual-sports helmet with the epic build quality. As this helmet is built to last for a long time, expect to pay $600/£434 for it.

PROS

  • Very safe dual-sports helmet
  • Extra comfortable
  • Great Pinlock-ready face shield
  • Ventilation is great at most situations
  • Epic build quality

CONS

  • Venting not the best at scorching hit temperatures
  • Peak leaves a gap at the top
  • Bit heavier than average

AGV is known for producing excellent motorcycle helmets, and their AX9 is no different. It’s a great pick if you want an all-rounder choice, and that’s why this helmet has landed on our list of the best dual-sports helmets for the 2021/2022 season!

Shell, Weight & Safety

When it comes to safety, the AX9 has DOT and ECE certifications. Even though it has no SHARP rating, we can only assume that this helmet would rank 4 or 5 stars, if judging by the AGV’s track record on that scoring board.

Vision

This helmet comes with a Pinlock ready visor and a built-in Pinlock anti-fog insert. Although the visor is quite tall and wide and provides excellent vision, it can not fit all types of googles if you do decide to remove the face shield.

AGV AX9 has a bigger peak than its predecessor, providing good shading from the sun during warm days. Coincidentally, that’s the exact reason you can’t open the shield all the way up. On a positive note, this peak has much better aerodynamics than the previous one.

Motorcycle Helmet Cleaning Tips

Whether you are a new or an experienced rider, there are possibilities that you will have a smelly or a dirty helmet after all of the motorcycle rides you have done. So many people ask about the way to clean lids inner and outside, and even though there are many distinctive techniques and suggestions, in this article, you might know the most effective and simplest method that we have compiled. 

You may not have a concept about it, but a motorcycle helmet is one of the essential things for your life! It is not only for protecting or insulate against any weather. It is far, possibly the best component to keep your life safe from accidental injuries on your head. While buying the safest and secure motorcycle helmet, it doesn’t mean that you miss out on its maintenance. You have to ensure that you care about it when you purchase a helmet and keep your helmet clean and in good condition or scratch-free.

In the given below are some steps regarding motorcycle helmet cleaning. You should follow all the steps with the procedure and keep the things in your mind and precautions. 

  • Ensure the visor is clean and  scratch-free
  • Make sure that the shell should be as clean as smooth.
  • Clean the pin lock.
  • The internal lining and the pads must be deep cleansing.
  • Replace its straps.
  • Buffing.
  • Polishing
  • Weekly cleansing

The method is quite easy. As mentioned above, here is a guide for keeping the motorcycle helmet clean. When you keep your helmet clean, it can maintain the quality of the helmet, and you can use it for the longer term used.

Keep it Clean and Scratch Free.

How to Replace Motorcycle Battery?

How to Replace Motorcycle Battery?

Replacing a motorcycle’s battery is as simple as it seems, but it may vary from bike to bike. Therefore, having a little knowledge about it may save your time in the future and will help you get it done in a short time. 

Let us see how to replace or change the motorcycle’s battery so that you can get back to riding. 

Signs of Trouble

Before getting into changing the battery, we need to know the signs of trouble. For a motorcycle’s battery, these signs are pretty obvious. 

For beginners, if your bike won’t start, it may be because of the dead battery laying in your bike. However, if the bike does start, starts to shudder, and then shuts down again, the battery is likely to be the culprit.  

In the case of low horsepower and dim headlights, it is because of a low battery and not a dead one. You can also examine the battery to see where it loses power on the recommended amps required for the bike. 

In addition, keep this thing in your mind repeatedly recharging a battery to maintain its charging is a bad way of maintaining it and the bike. It is recommended to install a new battery. 

You can also test your motorcycle’s battery if it’s bad by,

  1. Inspecting the battery 

At times, you can tell if your motorcycle’s battery is bad by just looking at it. These are things to check, 

  • Damaged terminal
  • Excessive leakage 
  • Staining or discoloring
  • Ruptured plastic 
  • Bumped case

If any of these appears, replacement of the battery is necessary. 

  1. Taking the voltage reading

Taking the voltage reading is a good way to determine if the battery is unable to work.

  • In the case of ‘0’ Voltage, there are chances that the battery has been short-circuited. 
  • If the voltage reading couldn’t reach 10.5V, then the battery contains a dead cell. 
  • It is fully charged, but the voltage reading is 12.4 or less, then it means the battery is sulfated. 

Battery’s Installation 

Here are some steps that you need to follow when replacing a motorcycle’s battery. 

  1. Preparing the New Battery

You would want to ensure that the new battery is fully charged before installing it in the bike. You should also see if the battery is sealed or SLA battery (You will need to pour electrolyte solution in the hollow area for installing it).

  1. Trace the Old Battery

Generally, the battery section is found under the seat, but you have to check the owner’s instruction manual for the specific model you have if you have no clue about it. To get this done, you may need to take out the seat so that you can get to the batter’s section. 

  1. Remove Cables First 

When removing the old battery, you should take out the cables first. When removing the cables, take out the ground or negative cable first. Ensure that your hands are entirely dried up. Next, use a socket wrench to loosen the cables. To avoid sparks, make sure that the ground or negative cables are placed away from the positive cables, terminals, or any metal on the bike’s frame. 

Now, you can also remove the positive cables; ensure that the cables don’t touch the terminals, other cables, or any metal. 

  1. Take Out the Old Battery 

Now, you have to take out the old battery, but make sure not to touch the battery with bare hands in case of acid leakage. You should also check how to dispose of old batteries in your area and dispose of it off, as batteries contain acid, which is also harmful to animals and humans. So, you must follow all the rules regarding disposal. 

  1. Check the Area

Now, as you have the battery section vacant and open, you will have time to check for any issues. Now, you should inspect the compartment if there’s any corrosion or cracking or the cables with frays and or any issue. Therefore, if you find any of these issues, you have to take care of all of them before installing the new battery. 

You can also utilize this time to clean the inside of the battery compartment with a towel or cloth to get rid of any buildup or debris accrued with time. At the end, ensure that you dry out the compartment carefully. 

  1. Set up the New Battery

Once you have thoroughly wiped out the battery compartment, go on and install the new battery in its compartment. Look out that you don’t drag the cables under the battery while installing it into its compartment. 

  1. Connect the Cables 

Now, you should reattach the cables. First, brush off the cables in case of any corrosion or any white or blue powder on them. A wire brush will help. If they are highly corroded, replace them. 

Installation is the reverse process of removal, so the order is important too! First, you should attach the positive cables, hook up the negative cable, and tighten them with a socket wrench. If there’s a small spark when reattaching these cables, don’t be scared; this is pretty normal while reattaching cables. 

Check at least 2 times if the cables are hooked up in the correct order. If not connected properly, this can cause popped fuses, fried electrical components, and a general heart attack. So, if you are not sure, you should ask a mechanic for a better understanding. 

  1. Testing

Wait! Before you put everything back together, turn on your bike & see if you’ve got power. If it runs smoothly and turns on the lights, Great!. If you do not, you are missing something, and you have more things to investigate. First, ensure that your connections have no breakage and they are in the correct order. If you’ve reversed the order, you might have some work to do. Maybe a fuse replacement or more. 

  1. Finish Up

Now, close the compartment, and re-install the parts of the frame. Finally, you can close the compartment while also making sure it being tightly closed. Now, you have to recollect the frame or seat you removed beforehand when accessing the battery compartment. 

Done. Have a safe ride! 

Gross Sales: An In-depth Breakdown of Revenue Basics

gross sale means

Then, calculate the sales value based on the selling price before deducting discounts, rebates, returns, or any allowances. By addressing these common pitfalls, businesses can enhance the accuracy of their gross sales and profit calculations, leading to better financial health and informed decision-making. This calculation provides the initial revenue figure from which the manufacturer will later deduct returns and allowances to find the net sales. For example, if 50 units of Product A are sold at $299 each, the gross sales from Product A would be $14,950.

gross sale means

Gross Sales vs. Revenue

For example, if you scroll further down the financial statement you can see how much each division contributed to the $61.9 billion generated in the period. Revenue is known as the top line because it appears first on a company’s income statement. Revenue is recognized when it is earned, not when cash is received, according to the Revenue Recognition Principle and the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 6066. Coca-Cola reported a top-line revenue figure of $38,655,000 for 2021 and $10,042,000 in net income for the same period. The company will record the $500 as a liability on the balance sheet until the furniture is delivered and the revenue is recognized. It is because the revenue is recognized when it is earned or when the furniture is delivered to the customer.

Real-World Examples of Gross Sales Calculations

If net sales are the only metric that gives an accurate picture of your company’s profit, why do you need to track gross sales? There are four important reasons to track gross sales, and here’s a brief roundup of those. Take note of your most popular products so you can better serve customers with similar products. If you are looking at Q1 of 2022, then you will gather all sales made during those three months (January through March). Gross sales shows the company’s total revenue, whereas the net sales show its overall profit.

Understanding the gross sales formula

As a rule of thumb, the lower the difference between gross sales and net sales is, the better the company’s products and customer satisfaction are. If the difference is significant, it’s an indication that there’s poor quality control within the company. By comparing them to gross sales in February and January, we can see fluctuations in gross profit.

  • As an example, you would take 25% of $299 ($74.75), multiply it by ten ($747.50), and subtract that from your gross sales ($29,875 – $747.50) to show net sales for the quarter of $29,127.50.
  • There are four important reasons to track gross sales, and here’s a brief roundup of those.
  • When a company reports gross sales, it consistently provides a clear representation of the volume of its business operations.
  • In the realm of real estate, gross sales represent the aggregate cost of properties sold within a specific time frame.
  • It reflects a business’s total revenue during a specific period but does not account for all the expenses accrued.
  • For example, if you scroll further down the financial statement you can see how much each division contributed to the $61.9 billion generated in the period.
  • So, if a shoemaker sold a pair of shoes for $100, the gross revenue would be $100, even though the shoes cost $40 to make.

What is gross sales volume?

Gross sales and net sales are fundamental metrics for assessing a company’s financial performance. While gross sales represent the total revenue before any deductions, net sales are the revenue remaining after subtracting certain expenses, such as returns, discounts, and allowances. This difference is crucial as it reflects a company’s ability to manage pricing, quality control and customer satisfaction. Gross sales can be important, especially for retail stores, but it is not the final word on a company’s revenue.

Market Conditions

  • To heighten their gross sales, companies in the services industry might aim to upscale their clientele or expand service offerings.
  • It is important to note that this figure represents the total value of all the products sold by the store during that period, without taking into account any discounts, returns, or refunds.
  • Similarly, a reduction in gross sales can increase the pressure on managing costs effectively to maintain profitability.
  • If your POS dashboard includes discounts and allowances, it might already calculate net sales for you, so you’ll need to figure that out on your own.
  • Being cognizant of changes and understanding their implications can help a business strategize effectively, improving its chances of financial success in the long run.

Despite the importance of calculating gross sales to get accurate net sales, this metric doesn’t reveal much about a company’s financial position. If we assume 4% of all transactions were returned, there were 8,000 returns, meaning that the downward adjustment to gross sales is $320k. The retail outlet would pay $98,000, the owl company would get that money quickly, and that $2,000 discount would be taken out of gross sales when calculating net sales.

We’ll examine only a few of their self-proclaimed best sellers in this case study. Quickonomics provides free access to education on economic topics to everyone around the world. Our mission is to empower people to make better decisions for their personal success and the benefit of society.

Human Capital Management: Understanding the Value of Your Workforce

Gross sales data can influence decisions related to pricing strategies, marketing campaigns, and inventory management by providing insights into sales performance. 11 Financial may only transact business in those states in which it is registered, or qualifies for an exemption or exclusion from registration requirements. A company can make an impressive number of total sales, but it doesn’t reflect how well it handles costs and how much it gains in profit. So, the gross sales of TechXYZ for that quarter is $2,000,000 before considering business expenses, deductions, discounts, returns, and allowances.

In the long term, gross sales correlate with a firm’s propensity for sustainable business practices. Higher gross sale means gross sales give companies the leeway to revisit their business models and implement sustainable practices. It can be a commitment to energy efficiency, investment in eco-friendly technology, or ethical sourcing of raw materials.

Начнём с того, каким образом CoinLiker удалось получить именно такие данные. Учитывая вышесказанное, я постараюсь помочь вам узнать, какой Reddcoin прогноз является наиболее обоснованным и подкреплённым фактами.

9 Best Motorcycle Helmets Under $200!

Most motorcycle riders tend to think that you should avoid the cheapest motorcycle helmets altogether. While it takes a bit of time to filter out the really bad ones from the good ones, there is a fairly sizeable number of awesome sub-$200 motorcycle helmets. To prove this point, we have a list of the best motorcycle helmets under $200 for you right here!

If you are in a rush, here is a breakdown table of each helmet from this list, along with the reason why it was picked for this list!

Without further ado, let’s dive into each one of these five helmets under 200 bucks!

1) Bell Qualifier DLX – Best Feature Package

Bell Qualifier DLX Full-Face Helmet

Bell Qualifier DLX is certainly one of the best motorcycle helmets under $200 because it offers tons of value for such a price tag. It’s well-vented, has an amazing visor, is comfortable, albeit its safety levels are nothing to write home about. Let’s take a brief dive into this full-face motorcycle helmet under $200!

Shell, Weight & Safety

First things first – this is a full-face polycarbonate helmet that weighs 1,56 kg (3,44 pounds), which is slightly above average. As this is a polycarbonate helmet, don’t expect top results when it comes to safety – it has DOT and ECE ratings, along with a 3-star SHARP rating.

Vision

One of the main selling points of the Qualifier DLX is its photochromic reactive visor. Basically, this visor reacts to sunlight getting into your face, and adjusts the shading accordingly, which is extra cool!

Also, when the night falls, the visor will be clear enough for you to see in the dark! Sadly, this visor has no Pinlock support but has some anti-fog coatings.

Ventilation

The ventilation scheme on the Bell Qualifier DLX full-face helmet is very impressive. There is a pair of actuated chin vents, four actuated vents above the visor, two actuated top vents, and four passive exhaust vents.

While this vent scheme is pretty good at cooling you down in summer, the vents above the visor could use some work to prevent fogging. Due to a high number of vents, this helmet is noisier than average.

Here are some more Bell helmet reviews!

Comfort

The interior of the Qualifier DLX is nothing out of the ordinary. You have a removable and washable inner liner with adjustable cheek pads that feel quite comfortable. Still, the inner lining feels cheap and you can sometimes feel the plastic that is there to secure the inner liner in the helmet shell.

Summary

Overall, the Bell Qualifier DLX is an amazing helmet when you consider its price of $160/£116. It doesn’t come without its faults, but what did you expect for such a motorcycle helmet under $200?

PROS

  • Awesome reactive visor
  • Solid vent scheme
  • Feels quite comfortable
  • Awesome balance of cost and value

CONS

  • Not the safest helmet
  • Noisier than average
  • Inner liner feels cheap
  • No Pinlock support

2) Scorpion EXO-R420 – Safest Motorcycle Helmet Under $200

Scorpion EXO-R420 Full-Face Helmet

Next up on our list of best motorcycle helmets under $200 is the Scorpion EXO-R420, a budget all-rounder helmet clearly inspired by race helmet aesthetics. Let’s take a brief dive and see what it brings from the motorcycle race track world!

Shell, Weight & Safety

First up is the polycarbonate shell that weighs 1,7 kg (3,75 pounds), which is heavier than average. Thankfully, the helmet is quite safe due to the Snell and DOT ratings (no sight of ECE rating yet, though!).

Vision

EXO-R420 comes with a clear face shield that isn’t Pinlock-ready but comes with a proprietary, Ever Clear anti-fog coating. This fog coating works well until it gets too cold, so take heed of that.

Here are more Scorpion helmet reviews!

The visor comes with a nice sealing that protects against wind, water, and other elements. Also, the vertical vision of this helmet feels like on a race helmet, even though EXO-R420 isn’t a true race helmet.

Ventilation

The vent scheme of the Scorpion EXO-R420 is pretty straightforward:

  • Actuated chin vent
  • Toggleable top vent
  • Passive rear exhaust vent

Now, the chin vent has a 3-way switch that toggles it between closed, visor vent, and face vent states. It works great compared to the top vent, which only ventilates well if you’re in a tuck position on your bike. At least this helmet isn’t so noisy as the Bell Qualifier DLX helmet.

Comfort

As with every Scorpion helmet, the EXO-R420 comes with the Kwikwick II inner liner, which is moisture-wicking, washable, and surprisingly very plush. Actually, it’s one of the most comfortable motorcycle helmets in the sub-$200 price range.

Summary

In summary, Scorpion EXO-R420 is a budget helmet for all those who want to look like the MotoGP track stars. Apart from looks, this $150/£108 motorcycle helmet is very comfortable, safe, and is a great all-rounder helmet for those on a restricted budget.

PROS

  • One of the safest sub-$200 helmets
  • Cool clear face shield
  • Simple yet effective vent scheme
  • Very comfortable to wear for extended rides

CONS

  • Heavier than average
  • No Pinlock support
  • Top vent is useless if not in tuck riding position

3) AGV K1 – Best Race Motorcycle Helmet Under $200

AGV K1 Full-Face Helmet

AGV K1 is yet another one of the race track-inspired helmets on our best motorcycle helmets under the $200 list. It’s comfortable, has fairly nice ventilation, and is an overall solid helmet for such a low price tag. Let’s learn more about it in the next paragraphs!

Shell, Weight & Safety

This full-face motorcycle helmet has a thermoplastic shell that weighs 1,52 kg (3,3 pounds). When it comes to its safety, there is only the DOT safety certificate, so we are pretty uncertain how safe is this motorcycle helmet. We can say for sure that it isn’t safe as its siblings (AGV Pista GP-RR and Corsa).

Vision

From the visibility standpoint, the K1 is first and foremost a racing helmet – its visor is wide and tall to provide amazing peripheral vision. It also has a quick-release mechanism to simplify the visor replacement process. We also love that this visor is Pinlock-ready, and has different detents for various riding positions. Keep in mind that this visor will fog up easily if stopped, especially when it’s cold outside.

Ventilation

The AGV K1 budget motorcycle helmet has two actuated chin vents and three actuated forehead vents. This one also has the proprietary Integrated Ventilation System that produces the Venturi effect, making AGV K1 a very aerodynamic helmet. Due to the shape of the helmet and its vent scheme, this one is a fairly quiet helmet compared to others on this list.

Comfort

On the insides of the AGV K1, you can find the Dri-Lex fabric that is fully removable and washable. It’s a very comfortable interior that will make even the longest rides more comfortable!

Summary

Overall, AGV K1 carries its brand name proudly even though it costs only $200/£145. If looking for one of the quietest and cheapest race motorcycle helmets, this one might scratch that itch.

PROS

  • Amazing peripheral vision
  • Pinlock-ready visor
  • Visor has different detents
  • Very aerodynamic and quiet
  • Comfortable for long rides

CONS

  • Questionable safety levels
  • Visor fogs up easily if stopped on cold days

4) HJC CL-17 – Most Balanced Motorcycle Helmet Under $200

HJC CL-17 Full-Face Helmet

HJC is well-known for making high-quality budget motorcycle helmets, so it’s no wonder one of their helmets made it onto our list! Their CL-17 might be old, but it’s still a bang for your buck nevertheless. Let’s dive into the nuances of this cheap full-face motorcycle helmet!

Shell, Weight & Safety

This is a full-face polycarbonate helmet that weighs 1,75 kg (3,9 pounds). Yes, it’s a bit heavy, but at least it makes up for that with its safety levels! HJC CL-17 comes with Snell M2015 and DOT ratings, meaning this is a very safe motorcycle helmet.

The face shield on the HJC CL-17 is pretty wide, offering plenty of peripheral vision. It has a quick-release system, is Pinlock-ready, and has several detents with an opening tab on the left to make it more convenient.

Check out more HJC helmet reviews!

Ventilation

HJC CL-17 does ventilation pretty well, with a chin vent, brow vents, two vents on the top, two passive jaw vents, and a passive rear vent. The top vents work pretty well in conjunction with the exhaust vents, while the chin vents aren’t the best when it comes to demisting. Keep in mind that this helmet is fairly loud due to all these exhaust vents.

Comfort

When it comes to the comfort factor, if you have a rounded head shape, you will feel very comfy wearing the CL-17. The inner lining is removable and washable, with pretty plush cheek pads.

Summary

Overall, the HJC CL-17 is a well-balanced helmet that is a great pick if you value safety combined with nice ventilation and visibility. It’s also the cheapest helmet on our list right now priced at $112/£81.

PROS

  • Extra cheap
  • Snell and DOT ratings
  • Pinlock-ready
  • Plenty of peripheral vision
  • Nice ventilation

CONS

  • Pretty heavy
  • Chin vents could be better
  • Very loud
  • Comfortable for rounded head shapes

5) LS2 Stream – Best For City Ride Experience

LS2 Stream Full-Face Helmet

We’ve had to include the LS2 Stream, a nice low-budget pick from the Chinese motorcycle helmet manufacturer on our list of the best motorcycle helmets under $200. You might think if it’s made in China that it might be low-quality, but that’s not the case here!

Shell, Weight & Safety

The LS2 Stream is a polycarbonate full-face helmet that weighs 1,5 kg (3,4 pounds). It has DOT and ECE 22.05 safety ratings, along with a 3-star SHARP rating. When it comes to safety, it’s pretty average.

Check out more LS2 helmet reviews!

Vision

When it comes to the visibility aspect, the LS2 Stream has a clear face shield and a drop-down sun visor. The clear face shield is optically correct and Pinlock-ready. It practically has infinite detents but tends to close shut when in a mid-open position. So, it’s basically either fully open or closed. Also, the locking mechanism is pretty nice but can tamper with the chin vent.

The drop-down sun visor is operated with a lever on the left shield pivot. It provides great sun ray protection but doesn’t get low enough for many riders. Well, it’s hard to design a drop-down sun visor that will fit all the riders without touching their noses!

Ventilation

The vent scheme of the LS2 Stream motorcycle helmet is fairly simple:

  • Actuated chin vent
  • Two actuated top vents

These three vents are fairly easy to use but don’t pump out enough air to cool you during scorching days or to defog the visor during chilly days. But, for daily commutes, the vent scheme should serve you just fine.

Comfort

LS2 Stream fits riders with long oval heads the best, even though it will fit pretty tight when you first put it on. The inner liner is removable and washable and is pretty comfortable, with cutouts for glasses as a bonus. Also, there are speaker cutouts that are a bit small, to be honest.

Summary

Overall, LS2 Stream is a great value for money, especially if you mostly ride in a city environment. It will cost you only $130/£94.

PROS

  • Comes with a Pinlock-ready clear face shield and drop-down sun visor
  • Average safety
  • Pretty comfortable
  • Comes with speaker and glasses cutouts

CONS

  • Face shield can practically stay fully open or closed
  • Sun visor doesn’t drop down enough
  • Vent scheme could be better

6) LS2 Horizon – Best Modular Crash Helmet Under $200

LS2 Horizon - Best Modular Crash Helmet Under $200

Here is yet another motorcycle helmet from LS2 – the Horizon. LS2 Horizon modular motorcycle helmet pleasantly surprises with its sheer range of features that tailor to sport and touring riders. What’s it all about?

Shell, Weight & Safety

LS2 Horizon has a thermoplastic shell that weighs 1,79 kg (3,95 pounds), which is above average, even for a modular helmet. Still, this is a pretty safe modular helmet, as it comes with DOT and ECE safety ratings.

Vision

The clear face shield of the LS2 Horizon is optically correct and is Pinlock-ready. Sadly, it has no detents, only fully open or fully closed positions, which is a bummer. A great thing here is that the Pinlock insert comes in the packaging of the helmet

Another nice addition here is the drop-down sun visor that works fairly well. You can actuate it with a mechanism on the lower left part of the helmet shell.

Ventilation

The vent scheme is probably the best feature of the LS2 Horizon modular motorcycle helmet. In the front is the active chin vent, on the top is a two-position active vent with some nice air intakes at the crown. On the back of the helmet are passive vents that coupled with other vents create the Venturi effect and promote nice aerodynamic features.

The chin skirt is included and removable and helps filter out the wind noise from the helmet.

Comfort

The interior of the LS2 Horizon is very comfortable, and the helmet has an intermediate oval shape, which will fit most US riders. Its cheek pads are plush, and the inner liner will break into your face with regular use. There are speaker cutouts too for Bluetooth speakers.

Summary

Considering its price tag of $170/£125, this is one of the best modular motorcycle helmets under $200. Yes, LS2 Horizon is not flawless, but the number of features you get for such a low price will make every touring rider on a budget at least consider this lid.

PROS

  • Comes with a Pinlock insert
  • Included drop-down sun visor
  • Very aerodynamic
  • Chin skirt blocks out annoying wind noise
  • Pretty comfortable to wear

CONS

  • Heavier than average
  • Visor has no detents

7) Biltwell Bonanza – Best Open Face Helmet Under $200

Biltwell Bonanza - Best Open Face Helmet Under $200

Coming up next to our list of best motorcycle helmets under $200 is the Biltwell Bonanza – the best open-face helmet in this price range. It’s a very cool-looking 3/4 motorcycle helmet that combines retro styling and modern features.

Shell, Weight & Safety

Biltwell Bonanza has a polystyrene inner shell that weighs roughly 1 kg (2,2 pounds). Its shell is not the most protective out there, even though this open-face lid has a DOT safety rating.

Visibility

When it comes to the visibility aspect, it’s safe to say that Biltwell Bonanza is consciously made for city rides. You see, this helmet has no visor, so it may not be such a good idea to ride out of the city with this lid.

Ventilation

There are no intake vents in the Biltwell Bonanza. You will feel this during the scorching summer days when there is a lack of airflow to the crown of your head. Still, your facial area will get decent airflow to get you by in such conditions.

Comfort

The best segment of the Biltwell Bonanza has to be its cheek pads. These are Lycra panels, and they are pretty good at dissipating sweat and moisture. The inner liner is hand-stitched and promotes breathability and comfort thanks to the open-cell foam padding.

Summary

Overall, Biltwell Bonanza is quite an average motorcycle helmet, but when you consider its price of $100/£73, you suddenly realize that it’s a true bargain. Yes, this jet helmet is made for city rides, but if you are such a rider and on a low budget, Biltwell Bonanza is a great choice indeed!

PROS

  • Extra cheap
  • Cool retro styling
  • Very light
  • Comfortable and breathable
  • Solid face venting

CONS

  • Comes with no face shield
  • No intake vents
  • Is not the most safest helmet out there

8) Icon Airform – Best Design

Icon Airform - Helmet With Best Design

This entry-level, all-rounder full-face motorcycle helmet from Icon boasts its aggressive streetfighter styling. It’s a helmet that will turn some heads for sure, but does it pack some serious punch behind an aggressive look?

Shell, Weight & Safety

Icon Airform has a polycarbonate shell and weighs 1,7 kg (3,7 pounds), which is heavier than your average full-face lid. It meets or exceeds DOT and ECE safety ratings, which is fairly good.

Vision

The quick-release face shield works on a ratchet has an anti-fog coating, and is Pinlock-ready. It has an opening tab on the left side only, and we would prefer it on both sides for more convenience. Also, this face shield is distortion-free.

Check out our Icon Airform review for an extensive look!

Icon Airform comes with a drop-down sun visor too. You can push it down with a mechanism on the left side of the lid. Its efficiency is variable, as it may not come down enough for some riders. Also, it has no anti-fog coating, which would come in handy on rainy and colder days.

Ventilation

Icon Airform has two passive chin vents that provide nice airflow to your face. Still, they can let in bugs, and you won’t feel particularly warm in the winter months. Also, there is an actuated top vent behind the Icon logo that works pretty well at connecting with deep EPS grooves and getting that airflow all over your head.

This full-face lid is a bit noisier than average due to the always-open chin vents.

Comfort

The Airform sits between a medium oval and round shape, which should suit most riders out there. Inside the helmet is an average comfort liner that is antimicrobial, is easily removable with velcro and poppers, but isn’t the softest material out there. No glasses grooves here though, even though the shape of this helmet should accommodate glasses.

Summary

Overall, if looking for the coolest motorcycle helmets under $200, Icon Airform has got you covered for the price of $139/£102. It has a high-quality face shield and a sun visor, and its streetfighter look is something that will turn heads for sure!

PROS

  • Epic aggressive styling
  • Distortion-free face shield
  • Comes with a drop-down sun visor
  • Okay ventilation
  • Comfortable for most riders

CONS

  • Heavier than average
  • Only one opening tab for visor
  • Sun visor has no anti-fog coating
  • Noisier than average

9) HJC i70 – Runner-Up For Best Feature Package Under $200

C i70 - Runner-Up For Helmet With Best Feature Package Under $200

Last but not least is yet another entry from HJC – the i70 full-face motorcycle helmet. The thing with this one is that it’s a lovely all-rounder helmet with all the touring and street ride capabilities, just at the right price tag.

Shell, Weight & Safety

HJC i70 is a polycarbonate full-face helmet that weighs 1,59 kg (3,5 pounds). Don’t be fooled by its shell material, it has a 4-star SHARP rating along with the DOT and ECE safety ratings. Hence, it’s a pretty safe lid.

Vision

The face shield is pretty wide, has a quick-release mechanism, and is Pinlock-ready. It has 6 detents and a central locking mechanism to prevent air from getting in.

Along with the clear face shield, HJC has included a drop-down sun visor too! You can actuate it with a mechanism on the bottom left, and the sun visor drops down reasonably low – without touching your nose.

Ventilation

When it comes to ventilation, HJC i70 has the following:

  • Actuated twin chin vent
  • Two actuated crown vents
  • Top twin exhaust vent on the rear
  • Exhaust on the back of the helmet

Now, the venting is pretty average for all the vents instead of the chin vent. It could definitely use some work, as it doesn’t work well at defogging the visor without Pinlock. Regarding noise, the HJC i70 is pretty good at blocking the noise, but make sure to invest in a decent pair of earplugs to protect your hearing!

Comfort

HJC i70 comes with a fully removable and comfortable inner liner that is quite comfortable. It does come with speaker pockets too. Keep in mind that the speaker cutouts are not too deep, so not all Bluetooth speakers will fit in. Also, the glasses grooves are inside for more convenience.

HJC i70 has a medium oval shape, so if you have such a head shape, you will feel quite comfortable with this lid on.

Summary

In summary, we think that the HJC i70 is a true bargain, starting right at $200/£147 price tag. It has a wide clear face shield, a solid sun visor, is not too noisy, and is pretty comfortable. Yes, this one is a bang for your buck, and a worthy addition to our list of best crash helmets under 200 bucks.

PROS

  • Pretty safe helmet
  • Nice peripheral vision
  • Sun visor works flawlessly
  • Great noise suppression
  • Quite comfortable

CONS

  • Chin vent could use some work
  • Speaker cutouts are not deep enough

Closing Words

As we finish up with our list of best motorcycle helmets under $200, what would be the best pick from the bunch?

We would bet on the Scorpion EXO-R420 if you had to ask us. Most of that decision is based on just how safe that helmet is for such a low price. Also, it has a few very nice features that make it even more valuable than what Scorpion is asking you for. But, every helmet on this list is best for some reason, so make sure to take that into consideration too!

8 Best Open-Face Motorcycle Helmets For 2021/2022!

Open-face motorcycle helmets have a huge market of their own, regardless of them being inferior in protective qualities compared to full-face or modular motorcycle helmets. After all, many city riders go with their motorbike to work or just do their daily chores. Naturally, these riders will respect open-face helmets the most. But, even if you are not in such a demographic, we have created a list of the best open-face motorcycle helmets for the 2021/2022 seasons!

Before we delve deep into each individual helmet on our list, here is a quick breakdown table of all the best picks!

Without further ado, let’s begin with our breakdown of the best open-face helmets on the market!

1) Shoei J-Cruise II – Most Feature-Rich Open-Face Helmet

Shoei J-Cruise II Helmet

Shoei J-Cruise II is one of the best open-face motorcycle helmets for the 2021 and 2022 seasons due to its variety of features. Let’s take a quick dive into its main advantages and disadvantages!

Shell, Weight & Safety

First of all, the J-Cruise II has a fiberglass shell made with Shoei’s signature Advanced Integrated Matrix technique. That makes it both durable and lightweight at 1,37 kg (3,02 pounds). It also comes with the DOT safety certificate.

Ventilation

We had to put the J-Cruise II on the top of the list as it is undoubtedly the best-ventilated open-face helmet out there. It has 3 vents:

  • Two vents on the either side of the brow
  • Large middle vent

Basically, all the air coming from underneath the visor will get filtered out through the multi-density EPS connected to the aforementioned vents. This makes the helmet exceptional during the summer months, but keep in mind that the noise levels will be higher due to this vent scheme.

Vision

The visor of this open-face motorcycle helmet comes with a lip at the bottom for wind resistance and aerodynamics improvement. Also, this CJ-2 face shield is 100% optically correct and is Pinlock-ready. Sadly, the Pinlock lens doesn’t come in the package, so you need to buy them later.

Also, there is an integrated drop-down sun visor to help you out during those sunny days!

Comfort

When it comes to comfort, the J-Cruise II is a touring-style helmet, so it is only suitable for the 3D Max-Dry liner to be comfy like on its full-face cousins. It also comes with speaker cutouts, so you can easily install a Bluetooth headset.

Summary

Overall, if looking for one of the best open-face motorcycle helmets, the Shoei J-Cruise II will impress you if you are a touring rider and are looking for something that is both comfortable and relatively protective. It isn’t the best looker but is one of the best feature-wise, for the price of $550/£396.

PROS

  • Great feature package
  • Awesome ventilation
  • Very lightweight
  • Comfortable for touring rides
  • Offers nice peripheral vision

CONS

  • High noise levels
  • Doesn’t look the best
  • Pinlock isn’t included

2) Arai Ram-X – Safest Open-Face Helmet

Arai Ram-X Helmet

If you look for the premium open-face helmet with touring qualities, look no further than Arai Ram-X. The company behind it is known for premium-quality motorcycle helmets, and the Ram-X is easily one of the best open-face helmets of 2021/2022 if you regard safety.

Shell, Weight & Safety

Its shell is made from fiber laminate and weighs 1,52 kg (3,35 kg). This shell feels quite aerodynamic, as it will cut through the wind when facing forward and stay steady when turning your head. Maybe that’s why this open-face motorcycle helmet has Snell M2020 and DOT safety ratings!

Vision

Another main selling point of the Arai Ram-X is its super-wide face shield system – the Vas-Z. An interesting touch here is the Pro Shade System – a sunshade visor installed on top of the clear face shield. That is a clear solution for all those who hate when the inner sun visor hits your noses!

With a dual-pivot system, we would expect smooth installation and replacement of these two shields. But, Arai is known for making fiddly face shields, and it certainly shows here. It’s pretty tough to replace its face shield due to difficulties snapping the pivot points.

Ventilation

When it comes to the ventilation aspect, the Ram-X is clearly inspired by Arai’s Corsair-X helmet. There are three large intake vents at the top of the shell and are very easily actuated. The same can be said for the two exhaust vents.

Comfort

The Ram-X also feels quite comfortable, thanks to the multi-density inner liner. Well, the only gripe we have here is that the cheek pads are a real hassle to take off. However, the other parts of the liner are pretty easy to remove and provide high comfort.

Summary

With Arai Ram-X, you can take the safety of a modular motorcycle helmet and transfer it to the open-face helmet. So, if you value safety the most, don’t think any further, and pick up the Arai Ram-X helmet for $700/£506.

PROS

  • Robust shell with tons of safety
  • Great ventilation scheme
  • Extra-wide field of view
  • Innovative sun visor implementation
  • Feels extra comfortable

CONS

  • Face shield is hard to replace
  • Cheek pads are tough to remove
  • Quite expensive

3) LS2 Spitfire – Best Budget Open-Face Helmet

LS2 Spitfire Helmet

Being priced at the $110/£80 price mark, this modern take on the classic bobber helmet aesthetic turns out to be one of the best open-face motorcycle helmets of the 2021/2022 seasons!

Shell, Weight & Safety

LS2 Spitfire has a thermoplastic shell that is surprisingly lightweight at 1,2 kg (2,65 pounds). Yes, its shell won’t win any awards for safety, but it suffices to say that the Spitfire has DOT and ECE safety ratings under its belt.

Vision

When it comes to the visibility aspect, LS2 Spitfire diverges from the previous two entries on our best open-face helmets for the 2021/2022 seasons list. That’s because this helmet has only the sun visor and no clear face shield.

Here are more LS2 helmet reviews!

Basically, this is an optically correct drop-down sun visor actuated with two tabs on its bottom. Sadly, there is only the shaded version, which means this visor will be useless for night rides.

Ventilation

Being an open-face motorcycle helmet without a face shield, LS2 Spitfire gives out lots of ventilation by default. Still, there is only a large vent behind the sun visor opening, with four large channels connected to the EPS. When you pull down the sun visor, the vents will be covered, and there will be less airflow altogether.

Comfort

When it comes to the comfort aspect, LS2 Spitfire excels with its removable and washable comfort liner. It comes with speaker pockets, and keep in mind that it takes a bit of time for the cheek pads to fit in nicely.

Summary

Overall, LS2 Spitfire doesn’t come with its faults, but you can understand that judged by its sub-$150 price mark. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come any better than this for this particular price range!

PROS

  • Lots of value for a sub-$150 helmet
  • Lightweight
  • Very comfortable
  • Sun shield works well during sunny days
  • Comes with speaker pockets

CONS

  • Not the safest open-face helmet out there
  • Sun visor is useless for night rides
  • Vent scheme could be better

4) Scorpion EXO Belfast – Best Open-Face Retro Helmet

Scorpion EXO Belfast Helmet

Most open-face helmets are synonymous with vintage and minimalistic styling. If you desire such an open-face helmet, it might be hard to filter through all the below-average ones and find the right one for your head. Well, Scorpion EXO Belfast is hands-down, the best open-face motorcycle helmet when it comes to retro vibes!

Shell, Weight & Safety

First of all, the shell of the Belfast is made of fiberglass material. This makes it very lightweight at just 1,19 kg (2,62 pounds). However, its safety is a bit questionable, as it only has the DOT safety rating.

Vision

While the Scorpion EXO Belfast lacks the clear face shield, it does come with a retractable sun visor. It features a dark tint, which means it will block out the sun rays during the day but will be useless during night rides. So basically, there is no fly and insect protection during the night.

Check out more Scorpion helmet reviews!

Ventilation

When it comes to ventilation, Scorpion didn’t really add any vents, and that’s okay. After all, this is an open-face motorcycle helmet; it ventilates pretty well during the summer months.

Comfort

It seems Scorpion put more focus on the looks of the EXO Belfast. It sports that old-school bobblehead look and comes with different color schemes to boot. So you can be a good ol’ Hell’s Angel or sport your individual colors with this one.

Further contributing to the looks of the EXO Belfast is its hand-stitched plush interior with leather accents. Also, it comes with Scorpion’s signature Kwikfit cheek pads that are extra comfy and can accommodate glasses. Overall, the EXO Belfast is great when it comes to comfort, as its liner removes the pressure points, especially on your temples.

Summary

Overall, for a $200/£144 package, we think the Scorpion EXO Belfast deserves the spot on our list of best open-face helmets of 2021/2022!

PROS

  • Great vintage design
  • Very light
  • Included retractable sun visor
  • Very comfortable to wear
  • Quite affordable

CONS

  • No vents
  • Lack of the clear face shield
  • Sun visor is useless during night rides

5) Schuberth M1 Pro – Best Modern Open-Face Helmet

Schuberth M1 Pro Helmet

Last but not least is the best open-face helmet from Schuberth – the M1 Pro. It is a lovely blend of high-quality build, great safety, and a modern design. If looking for an awesome open-face helmet for touring, the Schuberth M1 Pro might just be the one for you!

Shell, Weight & Safety

Schuberth M1 Pro has a fiberglass shell made with proprietary Direct Fiber Processing technique. It weighs 1,45 kg (3,20 pounds), which is suitable for an open-face motorcycle helmet. This helmet comes with an ECE 22.05 safety rating, by the way.

Vision

When it comes to the visibility aspect of the M1 Pro, Schuberth pleasantly surprises. First up, we have the Optical Class I clear face shield with two detents and an easy replacement procedure that requires no tools. It is Pinlock-ready, but you will need to buy the Pinlock insert separately.

Along with the clear face shield, there is an internal sun visor actuated with a slide mechanism on the bottom left part of the helmet. It’s a great feature, especially because it doesn’t go down as low to hit your nose.

Ventilation

The ventilation scheme of the Schuberth M1 Pro is also fairly nice. There is an actuated top vent that provides airflow to the crown of your head. In addition, the EPS layer just further helps promote airflow over your head, even though there are no cut channels in the EPS. Keep in mind that this vent scheme reduces noise, which will be most felt if you ride with a full-fairing.

Comfort

The interior of this helmet is also pretty well made. Its cheek pads have speaker and microphone cutouts for easy Bluetooth headset installation. Along with the cheek pads, five other interior pieces promote comfort. If you have an intermediate oval head shape, the Schuberth M1 Pro will be one of the most comfortable open-face helmets out there!

Summary

In summary, Schuberth M1 Pro is a great all-rounded touring open-face helmet that is extra comfortable for long rides. Well, that’s why it’s situated at the $500/£361, but in our opinion, it’s worth the price!

PROS

  • Extra comfortable for long rides
  • Great build quality
  • Nice airflow and noise isolation
  • Comes with a clear visor and sun visor
  • Bluetooth headset-ready

CONS

  • Doesn’t come with the Pinlock insert

6) Arai Classic-V – Runner-Up For Safest Open-Face Motorcycle Helmet

Arai Classic-V - Runner-Up For Safest Open-Face Motorcycle Helmet

Here is another open-face motorcycle helmet from Arai – the Classic-V! It’s very similar in its construction to premium full-face Arai models. Hence, the Arai Classic-V is the open-face helmet to look for if you value more safety in your open-face motorcycle helmet!

Shell, Weight & Safety

This is a fiberglass open-face motorcycle helmet that weighs only 1,2 kg (2,65 pounds). The Classic-V has DOT and Snell safety ratings, which essentially means it will protect your head like a full-face lid, as long as you don’t hit anything with your face.

Vision

While there is no included face shield or goggles for the Arai Classic-V helmet, there are five studs on the peak of the helmet that can accommodate a face shield or goggles. Almost any goggles will fit on the Classic-V due to its accommodating shape.

When it comes to face shields, you can easily fit in shields from any other brand and just roll with them.

Ventilation

Compared to most other open-face helmets, it’s a surprise to see some hidden vents on the Arai Classic-V. There are three intake vents just below the peak of the helmet that will flow air through the EPS liner, finishing up with the exhaust vents near the neck roll.

This vent scheme is great for ventilation during scorching hot days, but not such during winter days. Well, who rides with an open-face lid during winter anyways?

Comfort

Inside the helmet, there are removable cheek pads, but you can’t remove the top part of the inner liner. Still, the whole interior fabric is antimicrobial, and you can wash the cheek pads. Also, the helmet is pretty comfortable for even the longer rides, and bonus points for its styling – you won’t look like a bobblehead with the Classic-V!

Summary

Overall, Arai Classic-V is a great open-face motorcycle helmet if you’re looking for superb safety and retro styling. It’s certainly not the best feature package, especially when you consider its $470/£344 price tag. Still, you are paying for long-term quality and expert craftsmanship here.

PROS

  • Robust fiberglass shell
  • Lightweight
  • Very comfortable
  • Great ventilation
  • Nice styling

CONS

  • No visor or goggles included
  • Top part of liner isn’t removable

7) Bell Custom 500 – Runner-Up For Best Retro Open-Face Motorcycle Helmet

7) Bell Custom 500 - Runner-Up For Best Retro Open-Face Motorcycle Helmet

Bell Custom 500 enters our list of best open-face motorcycle helmets for the 2021 and 2022 seasons due to its awesome retro styling. Essentially, this is a remake of their old open-face lids from the 1960s. How does this remake fare in the modern age?

Shell, Weight & Safety

The shell of the Bell Custom 500 is made of fiberglass composite, and the overall helmet weighs only 1,3 kg (2,8 pounds). As this is first and foremost a low-profile helmet, there are no reliable safety ratings for Bell Custom 500. Well, the focus with this open-face lid isn’t on safety, after all.

Vision

You won’t get a clear face shield or goggles included with the Bell Custom 500. Although, you can find some pretty nice snap-on retro bubble shields for this particular helmet that will improve the riding experience greatly.

Ventilation

Just like any other old-school open-face motorcycle helmet, Bell didn’t bother to add any additional vents to the Custom 500. Supposedly they did this to preserve that low-profile feel to the overall helmet. So, the only venting you’re going to get with the Custom 500 will be the wind blazing in your face and cheeks.

Also, as this lid comes with no goggles or a face shield from the get-go, you can only imagine that it’s quite a loud helmet.

Comfort

Bell Custom 500 has a medium oval shape, which fits most of the riders out there. The inner liner is made of fake leather but does a good job of making it look like the retro helmets from the 1960s. Having fake leather is nice as you cut down on maintenance time for genuine leather.

What is more peculiar is that the comfort liner isn’t removable, so you will need to wash it inside the helmet. Clunky at best.

Summary

Overall, the Bell Custom 500 doesn’t really hit too many goals when it comes to the overall feature package. But, if you’re a city rider who wants something that looks amazingly retro, few come close to the Bell Custom 500. And, if you manage to snatch some additional accessories, it becomes a worthwhile open-face motorcycle helmet at the $126/£92 price tag!

PROS

  • Awesome retro styling
  • Minimalistic
  • Fiberglass shell is pretty lightweight
  • Feels comfortable

CONS

  • No visor or goggles
  • Isn’t pretty safe
  • Cannot remove the comfort liner
  • Ventilation is lackluster

8) Sena Savage – Most Unique Open-Face Motorcycle Helmet

Sena Savage - Most Unique Open-Face Motorcycle Helmet

Sena is a well-known motorcycle Bluetooth headset brand, but they also make some motorcycle helmets. The Savage is probably the most unique open-face helmet out there as it already comes with a built-in Bluetooth headset and is a pretty decent helmet on its own.

Shell, Weight & Safety

Sena Savage is a fiberglass motorcycle helmet that weighs only 1,1 kg (2,4 pounds), which is lighter than your average open-face helmet. It also comes with the ECE and DOT safety ratings, so it’s pretty safe as it can be for an open-face helmet.

Vision

You don’t get any kind of visor for the Sena Savage, but it does come with a long and short peak in the box, which is a nice addition. Savage does have that classic three-stud peak construction, so you can buy an additional face shield from any other brand easily.

Ventilation

There are no vents on the Sena Savage helmet to take note of. All the ventilation you’re going to get will be in your face, which should be good for spring and summer, but ride this in other months, and you will feel extra cold.

Comfort

As long as your head is medium oval, you will feel pretty comfortable with the Sena Savage. Keep in mind that the comfort liner is a bit basic, but it is fully removable and washable. Also, if you wear large glasses, this helmet can push the top of the glasses, as the Savage sits quite low on your head.

Bluetooth Headset Features

The Savage has the Bluetooth headset fully integrated, with all the wires, speakers, and the headset itself. It’s very similar to the Sena 10S headset, which is pretty entry-level at this point, with no Mesh or Bluetooth 5.1 tech.

Looking for the best motorcycle Bluetooth headsets out there? We have a handy Bluetooth motorcycle headset guide for you!

Savage supports 4 riders in one intercom connection and works on Bluetooth 4.1. Its range is 1 mile (1,61 km) in ideal conditions. You can also connect to your phone, listen to music, or take and proceed calls.

Summary

Overall, Sena Savage is a formidable open-face motorcycle helmet, with quite a safe and comfortable structure, all coupled with an integrated Bluetooth headset that works pretty well. All this in one package that costs $300/£219, and that makes it an entry on our best open-face helmets of 2021/2022 list!

PROS

  • Lighter than average
