Best Bluetooth-ready Helmets 2021-2022

Introduction

When you’re out riding, communicating with your fellow riders can be tricky and even dangerous if you don’t do it well. Cell phones can be a terrible medium in these situations.

What else is there to expect when your hand is busy with the phone and not the handle? Is it necessary to keep your hands on the handlebars while talking to your fellows, or is there another option? There is a way, and it’s called a Bluetooth-ready helmet.

Bluetooth-ready helmets are available for purchase. Helmets with many built-in features, such as GPS, intercom communications, and even audio streaming from your smartphone, are not only possible but also rather simple to find.

IF you are in a hurry, we’ve compiled a list of the top 6 Bluetooth-ready helmets for the best price available online.

1. Nexx X-Vilitur – For riders with GoPro

Nexx’s first modular helmet X.Vilitur. Made of composite fiber. This Bluetooth-ready helmet’s exterior has several folds and angles. Like most Nexx helmets, it has a Nexx feel while also being structurally sound.  The X.Vilitur is a safe and stylish touring helmet. They claim they enhanced the aerodynamics and added sound-insulating features to make it a quiet and comfortable helmet. They’ve also widened the visor mechanism and included the Nexx N-com Bluetooth module.

Nexx X. Vilitur Bluetooth-Ready Helmet
Nexx X Vilitur

Safety

The Nexx X.Vilitur is available in composite or carbon fiber. Conceived to make strong and safe motorcycle helmets from composite materials.,  Nexx has made a lot of them. This helmet is built of Nexx’s X-matrix 2, six-layer fiberglass, and organic fiber composite that is strong and light. 

Let’s say you want a lightweight modular helmet. The X.Vilitur Carbon Zero helmet is made of pure carbon fiber and weighs only 1.55Kg, making it an extremely light modular headgear. The conventional composite fiber variant is 100g heavier than the carbon fiber version.

Ventilation

The X.Vilitur’s ventilation is enough on most days but not enough to keep your visor clear when it’s cold outside.

In other words, it’s a modular helmet. If you get too hot, pull over, push up the chin bar, and you’ll have enough ventilation to cool down.

A big two-position slider helps direct airflow across the forehead vent. It’s easy to find and allows you to open or close the vent fully. Inside the helmet, the EPS lining includes vents to let airflow around your head. Two retractable exhaust vents discharge warm/wet air from the back of the helmet.

Comfort

Nexx X.Vilitur fits longer head shapes. Most motorcyclists should be able to use it. A washable/removable comfort lining The X-Mart Dry liner from Nexx claims to dry twice as fast as cotton. It’s not a big deal because synthetics dry faster than cotton.

While still a soft-material helmet, it is designed for comfort. It has slots for glasses stems, so they don’t poke the wearer’s skull.

PROS

  • Good build quality
  • Large Visor
  • Plenty of airflow
  • Comfortable Interior

CONS

  • Pinlock not included
  • Rear exhaust switches are not easy to use

2. Klim Krios SENA 10U Stealth – for Adventure Riders

Klim’s Krios Sena 10U Stealth Helmet, a superior and premium product, has changed the adventure helmet sector. It excels in all areas, including speed, sturdiness, and usability.

It is the only off-road helmet on our list, as any serious motorcycle fan can tell you. And it’s not because we’re anti-motocross, anti-tour, or anti-off-roading, but because there are so few alternatives for off-road-focused helmets with technology built-in that it’s difficult to find them.

This headgear is Bluetooth-ready and packed full of great features. One mile apart communication between riders is possible using Bluetooth 4.0 intercom that also functions as an FM tuner. Other features include a carbon fiber exterior, antibacterial liner, quick-release visor system, and what the company calls an “intelligent ventilation system.”

Klim Krios Sena 10U Bluetooth-Ready Helmet
Klim Krios Sena 10U Stealth

Safety

Klim Krio Sena 10U weighs 3.25 pounds and is made by Krios. It’s one of the greatest touring helmets because of the lightweight shell and unique aerodynamic feature.

The Sena 10U Stealth helmet from Krios complies with ECE and DOT regulations. Quality is not sacrificed in the name of functionality or style. After all, the helmet’s primary function is to protect the wearer’s head in the event of a fatal collision.

Ventilation

The ventilation system on the Krios Sena 10U Stealth helmet is also quite good. There are a total of ten vents on the helmet, allowing for excellent ventilation. The chin bar vent delivers air into the helmet, which is subsequently transported by the air channels within the helmet.

There are adjustable top vents, and the slider is easy to operate even with gloves on. Even when it’s hot outside, wearing the helmet won’t make you sweat.

Comfort

Klimatek cloth liner, a first in the industry, creates a soft and opulent interior. For maximum comfort, it wicks sweat away from your skin.

Responsive smart foam technology is used in the linear system, which conforms to the shape of your face. Riders with sensitive skin will appreciate the fabric’s antimicrobial and antibacterial characteristics. The interior is soft, so it won’t irritate your skin or irritate your eyes. Remove the cheek pads and wash them to keep them fresh.

The Bluetooth-ready connection is probably the most exciting feature of the Krios Sena 10U Stealth Helmet. It is fully compatible with SENA 10 U Bluetooth 4.0.

The helmet’s communication radius is 1 mile in an open area, allowing four-way group intercom communication. The 10-hour talk time of the Bluetooth helmet technology is amazing.

Music sharing and enhanced noise control are just a few of the features offered by the SENA 10U Bluetooth technology in addition to the standard FM radio tuner. The Stealth helmet could pique your interest if you find it difficult to communicate with your fellow riders during adventure touring.

PROS

  • Lightweigh
  • Pre-installed Sena 10U
  • Great ventilation
  • Clear vision

CONS

  • Chin vent is always open
  • Noisy helmet

3. Sena Outrush -Affordable Bluetooth Helmet

Sena is primarily known for its universal-mount helmet communication devices. You can attach these devices to any helmet, wire the speakers inside the shell, and place the boom mic.

Sena also makes helmets with built-in comm systems. Some of the “smart helmets” in the series have built-in HD video cameras and sound-canceling technology. Sena’s Bluetooth-ready helmets are easily available. However, they lack the HUD and other features promised by Skully and Jarvish.

Who needs all that electronics when you can get a basic motorcycle helmet with built-in comms? Sena has a new smart Bluetooth-ready modular helmet called the Sena Outrush. Innovators like Sena have perfected the skill of creating unique items for cyclists. 

Sena Outrush Bluetooth-Ready Helmet
Sena Outrush

Safety

This DOT and ECE-approved modular helmet have a multi-density EPS liner, a lighter weight shell, and 3-way ventilation on the chin, top, and rear. The Outrush s dual homologation allows for guaranteed rider safety when the chin guard is up or down. The ratchet strap firmly locks the headgear on your head. The Outrush also has an inbuilt sun visor for road safety.

Ventilation

It includes a glove-friendly up-and-down switch for the dual air inlet vent. The detachable chin skirt in the chin bar comes in handy for chilly rides, as most riders can attest from personal experience.

A feature-rich helmet will eventually become suffocating for its user. The Sena Outrush was designed with this in mind by Sena. There are three vents on the Sena Outrush: an exhaust port, a top opening, and a chin vent which makes this helmet well ventilated.

Comfort

The Sena Outrush is a Bluetooth-ready modular helmet. A modular helmet is a hybrid between a full face and an open face helmet.

The Sena Outrush modular helmet combines the best of both worlds. Both the safety and openness of a full-face helmet. So you can easily remove your Sena Outrush helmet for a short drink or breather. When you’re ready, flip it back down to regain your protection.

The helmet’s breathable mesh also provides for good airflow. The Sena Outrush also has a removable and washable headliner for added convenience.

PROS

  • Value for money
  • Comfortable
  • Good Bluetooth integrated performance
  • Long talk-time upto 15 hours

CONS

  • Bit noisy
  • Uses Bluetooth version 3.0
  • Sound quality is not best

4. Shoei Neotec II – for Touring

The Neotec II is a full-face helmet with a flip-up chin bar and visor, replacing the Neotec modular helmet. The Bluetooth-ready Neotec II is compatible with the Sena SRL/SRL2 communicator. If you want the best-in-class integrated Bluetooth kit, that Sena 20 series system is a great choice.

The fabric of the helmet has compartments for the control panels and batteries, and the Sena speakers fit neatly inside. Ok, so some users had difficulty finding the kit’s buttons, but that’s typical of most helmet-mounted Bluetooth-ready systems.

So Shoei renamed it the Neotec II. That’s because the new Neotec II is a progression of the old version.

Shoei Neotec II Bluetooth-Ready Helmet
Shoei Neotec II

Safety

The safety features include a Multi-Ply Matrix AIM shell and a multi-piece EPS liner. The inner system (lining) is, however, entirely removable, washable, and interchangeable. If the fit isn’t just right, consider sizing up or down on the internal linings.

The helmet’s shell is handcrafted from fiberglass and other organic fibers. There are four shell sizes and six overall sizes ranging from XS to XXL. Less-priced helmets will only have two shell sizes, resulting in a heavier or bulkier shell than necessary. So a Shoei helmet is as safe as a one-piece full-face. But it’s only DOT certified, not Snell or ECE.

Ventilation

A wide glove-friendly panel covers a solitary chin bar vent. A big slider additionally covers a single crown vent. These draw air into the helmet, which is then extracted by a massive dual extractor. Users of the Neotec II claim tons of air enters the Shoei. They say the vents are easy to detect and use even in gloves.

There is no cracked open or city position on the visor, and the initial detent is roughly an inch gap. An omission is that many riders employ a cracked open posture for added ventilation while protecting behind the visor.

Comfort

Even though the Neotec II is heavy, weighing between 1.8Kg and 4lbs, depending on size. For comparison, a modular helmet normally weighs around 1.7Kg (3.7lbs).

The helmet’s interior is removable and washable. The multilayered cheek pads have been reworked to limit wind and noise ingress while increasing comfort. If Due to technological improvements, helmets aren’t quite right. Shoei offers cheek pads in various sizes to help.

Of course, Neotec’s three shell sizes (four according to Shoei US) will help with installation, ensuring the correct amount of EPS and comfort cushioning for your head size.

Overall, while being on the bulkieDue to technological improvements, helmets bike helmets, the Neotec II can be seen as warm, comfortable, and made of high-quality materials.

PROS

  • Excellent build quality
  • Very comfortable
  • Seamless Bluetooth integration

CONS

  • Matt finish is not scratch resistant
  • Microratchet strap configuration is not comfortable

5. Icon Airform Conflux – Helmet for Speed

An entry-level full-face helmet by Icon. It’s designed to be an all-rounder, which can be boring but Icon isn’t dull.  The Airform, although being at the cheaper end of the pricing range, is a more aggressive streetfighter-style helmet that looks to offer most of the attributes most riders look for in a daily helmet as well as a feature like Bluetooth-ready.

The helmet includes a drop-down sun visor, an optically correct shield, a quick-release primary shield, and speaker pockets. Also, there are a lot of vents, which is excellent, albeit some are always open.

Icon Airform Conflux Bluetooth-Ready Helmet
Icon Airform Conflux

Safety

The Airform has a polycarbonate exterior with an EPS liner. If you’ve read our reviews, you’ll know that polycarbonate can produce excellent protective helmets.  Some Snell-approved and SHARP 5 star helmets are polycarbonate or thermoplastic.

Some Icon helmets with similar construction, like the polycarbonate Airflite, Airmada, and Alliance, have been SHARP tested in the UK. When SHARP tested them, they got an average of 2.6 stars out of 5. Which leads you to think the Airform does well.

In its marketing, Icon makes little mention of the Airform’s protection values. They’re about attitude and style. The Airform should provide adequate but not exceptional protection. It has a few features you’d expect in a helmet to help keep you safe, but it doesn’t appear Icon has gone overboard to make the Airform the safest option.

Ventilation

And while the summer ventilation is wonderful, some riders have reported insects entering through the vent holes. Nice. Of course, in the cold, you can easily plug the holes with tape if you truly want an Airform.

But the chin ventilation keeps the shield clear. Icon’s proprietary Fog Free Optics protection also helps keep things clear.  The crown vent is small, directly behind the Icon emblem atop the shield, and it directs air into the helmet. The Airform’s EPS venting ducts are extensive and deep, and most riders agree they keep you comfortable when it’s hot outside.  Overall, superb ventilation. 

Comfort

Several owners complained that the sizing is a tad small. So if you’re unsure between two sizes, we’d advise going up. An Icon Hydra dry lining is inside the Icon Airform. They aren’t the softest, but they are fine and feature a moisture-absorbing, antibacterial fabric. The lining is simply removable, and most riders find it quite comfortable.

It has a detachable breath guard but no chin guard. While the Airform doesn’t have any glasses grooves, most users report it fits most glasses well. There are two medium-sized speaker slots within the Airform for a Bluetooth-ready headset.

However, some owners have complained that installing a clamp mount was difficult due to the helmet’s bottom’s thick base seal. However, there’s enough room for a sticky mount. The Airform was specifically designed as a Bluetooth-ready helemet to work with Icon’s RAU communicator, which is a Bluetooth device. So, if you’re in the market for a new headset, the Airform could be a good option.

PROS

  • Affordable price for premium features
  • Well ventilated
  • Comfortable helmet
  • Can be customized

CONS

  • Helmet is quite heavy
  • Inner sun visor isn’t very comfortable

6. Bell SRT Modular – All-around Helmet

Bell’s SRT-Modular Bluetooth-ready helmet attempts to provide current riders with many features without breaking the bank.  Bell helmets are an anomaly. Unlike any other helmet producer we know, they occasionally make a full-face helmet, then a modular version of the same helmet.

That doesn’t mean they’re doing wrong. It minimizes development costs and allows us to buy a helmet in a variety of combinations.  Suppose you want a quality modular helmet from a company that has been around for a while. In that case, the Bell SRT modular is worth looking at.

Bell SRT Modular Bluetooth-Ready Helmet
Bell SRT Modular

Safety

The SRT-Modular is a versatile helmet made of a fiberglass composite shell. To accommodate a wide range of head sizes, Bell has chosen two external shell sizes—XS-L and XL-3XL. It is also DOT, and ECE certified, covering both US and EU riders.

With this modular helmet, Bell hopes to handle all road riding outside of the racetrack. The SRT-Modular has a sporty look, influenced by Bell’s Star MIPS, Race Star FLEX, and Pro Star FLEX helmet lines. To that end, it uses the Panovision face shield from the helmets, as mentioned earlier.

Its broad provision visor comes in two shell sizes, which is rare at this pricing. Of course, a slide-down sun visor is worth having to avoid squinting in the sun.  All of which is to say we expect the SRT flip-front to provide adequate crash protection.

Ventilation

The chin guard has two vents to move air around the chin and up onto the visor. There’s also a single central vent that blows air onto your crown. Sun visors require a lot of top vent retraction since they sit just where you want ventilation channels when retracted.

The SRT has two exhaust vents at the back, but we doubt the ventilation is adequate with the crown vent so far back. But we won’t know how owners and riders feel about the ventilation for a time.

Comfort

On the subject of comfort,  the Bell keeps riders relatively cool. The helmet has two vents, one on the chin bar and one on the top, but it keeps you cool.

Bell also made the SRT eyewear compatible. It is wonderful for riders who need glasses but don’t want to spend extra money on a tinted visor. The SRT also allows speaker integration inside recessed EPS speaker pockets, which are large enough to support speakers. The only concern is that it may restrict Bluetooth as it is next to a communicator – something to consider if you ride with one.

The SRT modular comes in two shell sizes, and internal fitment sizes XS-XXL (up to XXXL in the US). The liner is detachable, washable, antimicrobial, and moisture-wicking. It is Bluetooth communicator ready, with glasses stem grooves and speaker pockets for Bluetooth speakers, making it an all-around headgear.

PROS

  • Easy visor removal and installation
  • Fiberglass composite shell
  • Good value for money
  • Good value for money

CONS

  • Helmet is quite heavy
  • Noisy helmet
  • Limited airflow

Conclusion

Helmets have become important headgear for bikers, as they ensure both protection and ongoing communication.

As an in-vehicle intercom system, Bluetooth-enabled helmets can be handy. A helmet has all the basic safety features, but you may also use them to communicate with others. Bluetooth technology makes it workable to use the following feature even in a windy or noisy situation.

Some of you may wonder why on earth you’d want to spend more bucks on a Bluetooth helmet when a standard one will do. No matter how good your helmet is, you’ll be safe in the event of a collision. Bluetooth helmets provide a lot more than protection.

How to pick Bluetooth intercom for a motorcycle helmet

Introduction

While riding, Bluetooth intercom gadgets for motorcycle helmets are vital. You need a good Bluetooth motorbike helmet intercom device if you want to make phone calls. You can listen to music or talk to the people you’re riding with.

The approach of the motorcycle helmet intercom, based on cutting-edge modern technology. It transformed the way motorcyclists communicated. Motorbike riders used to communicate using sign languages and lights signals earlier. Using the motorcycle intercoms, you can have seamless chats with your riding groups.

Check this posts if you are looking for the best Bluetooth intercom headsets available in 2021

The Bluetooth Intercom device fits on the driver’s helmet to reduce interruptions. These gadgets come in a wide range of prices and varieties, so you won’t have to empty your pocket to find the one you want.

While there are countless choices available today, all are not feature-rich. here are There must be plenty of features and functionality in communication equipment. Here we will discuss how to pick the best Bluetooth intercom for your motorcycle helmet.

1. Range/Coverage

Motorcycle intercoms should have as wide a communication range as possible. It will, of course, be determined by the size of your riding team and the locations to which you intend to take your motorcycles.

If you’re biking in the countryside, you won’t be far from each other because there’s less traffic. You’ll also require an intercom with a smaller series of roughly 500m in this circumstance.

What if you’re driving down the freeway or in the middle of a city with a lot of people using the internet? If this happens, you and your riding companions will most probably grow apart. As a result, you’ll need communications that have a range of about 1000 meters.

It’s not critical to have the most variety if you want an intercom to talk to your fellows. For a wide range of coverage, there are few choices for consideration. Cardo Packtalk Slim and Sena 30K both have a range of 8 KM.  Cardo Packtalk Slim features dynamic mesh, while Sena 30K implements neutral mesh technology in their devices.

2. Audio Quality and Noise Cancellation

It would be best if you only bought intercoms that have real high-quality audio output. Use your intercom system to its full potential if you can converse with other drivers. While maintaining full focus on the road without any worries. Being in the middle of heavy traffic can make it difficult to hear, even using expensive headsets.

Watch out for DSP (Digital Signal Processing). That comes with noise and echo cancellation capabilities. They’re critical in reducing the amount of noise from your bike engine. They also suppress the sound of the wind and oncoming traffic so that you can hear everything well.

Besides, the intercom must have high-definition speakers with strong bass. You will get a more immersive music listening experience. You will get improved audio clarity with them.

As a result, you should bear this in mind when looking for the best intercom; they will be more expensive. Cardo Freecom 4 Plus is a perfect example of a device with superior audio featuring JBL speakers.

3. Connectivity

It is also a crucial consideration. To reach as many of your fellow riders as possible, you must adopt this method. It protects your group and keeps you all together even while you’re in unknown territory.

Most intercom systems have between two and four major connections. However, others have as many as fifteen connections built in them. Select the Many Connection intercoms if you have a big group.

Motorcyle chat
Bluetooth Intercom

Yet, the rise in connections is also accompanied by a large increase in price. As a result, take a look at your spending plan and see how many connections you can get for your money. Sena 30K and Sena 20S Evo are famous for their superior connectivity as a Bluetooth intercom.

Smartphones can connect to your motorcycle intercom as an extra wonderful feature. It’s possible to manage phone calls if you pair Bluetooth with your smartphone.

Additionally, you will listen to your favorite songs on your phone if you consider yourself an audiophile.

4. Weather Sheilding

You can’t control the weather on a long trip. So, you don’t want bad weather to interfere with conversations with your companions. As a result, make sure your internal communication system is open. Even if there is a sudden rain, your communication system will remain functional.

When considering protection, remember that waterproof vs. water-resistant means two different things. A water-resistant intercom is less expensive, but it offers less security. A waterproof intercom provides superior security.

It’s immune to even torrential downpours. Because you never know what the weather will bring, you prepare yourself. It is our recommendation to use the waterproof intercom, as it is the best option for bikes.

Using a device that can withstand stormy and snowy conditions is preferable. Otherwise, use a plastic cover around your Bluetooth intercom. The first option is the most convenient!

5. Pricing

This one is among the most crucial factors to consider when purchasing this type of merchandise. It is because if you pay more, you will have more options and vice versa. So, if you want more functionality, the price will rise, and you’ll only need one of them to earn a higher overall score. The best method to deal with this is to set a budget and create a limited-range communication system. THOKWOK BT-S3 provides better features of Bluetooth intercom within your budget. It might not best value for money but the most affordable one.

And, to find the greatest solutions in this price bracket, it is best to read several reviews before making a decision. Examine the features of each motorbike intercom system.

6. Ease of Use/User Friendly

If you have no prior experience with intercoms, we recommend choosing a simple intercom from Choose Best Intercom. It is because you are using the gadget while driving, which may be a distraction in the first place. A more sophisticated intercom compromises the primary purpose of making the journey safe. Keep it in mind whenever you use an intercom. Bluetooth intercoms from Sena are notoriously famous for being user-friendly.

Please don’t get caught up in the system’s complexity since it prevents you from taking your eyes off the road, which can be quite dangerous. As a result, you should always look for an internal communication system that is simple to use and makes things simple.

7. Battery

You’ll agree that a device whose battery ends up dead in the middle of a conversation is stressful. As a result, we also recommend that you look for a configuration with an extra reliable battery. That provides you with long hours of talk time. Whether on your handset or the intercom for motorcycle Riding Over Long Distances

Battery charge indication
Battery Status

The majority of the headsets we’ve looked at so far come with good batteries. That provides a pretty standard talk time of 6-8 hours and a wonderful standby time of 300 hours. In comparison, some devices like Lexin LX-FT4 provide 15 hours of talk time on a single charge.

One more thing… for your convenience, look for a battery with a faster charging time.

8. Aerodynamics

The Bluetooth-ready helmet and a helmet with an intercom mounting are different units. You can mount a Bluetooth intercom to any motorcycle helmet. At the same time, the Bluetooth helmet is an integrated system.

Many intercom mounting systems use wireless Bluetooth technology as well. You can change them from helmet to helmet, and they are more versatile than a Bluetooth helmet. You can make any helmet into a Bluetooth helmet by using a Bluetooth intercom system. It gives intercom mounting solutions a level of adaptability that Bluetooth helmets lack.

Bluetooth helmets have the advantage of easy to use than intercom mounting systems. Due to Bluetooth integration into the helmet system, it is easier to use than intercoms.

We’ve seen an increase in the number of helmet makers making their own Bluetooth devices. That is compatible with their helmet models. The positives of this are that it will save you a lot of time fitting a device on the helmet. They are making it easy to fit, and often, it’s snug with the helmet, which is good for aerodynamic. Speaking of which, AGV recently released their Bluetooth device with excellent aerodynamics. Many other helmet manufactures are doing the same.

AGV-ARK-bluetooth-system

Here is a list of the top 6 Bluetooth-enabled helmets you might be interested in.

Bluetooth inclusion in a helmet will improve aerodynamics while driving. The flushing will also provide shielding from harsh weather.

Conclusion

For some people, the goal of riding is to get away from it all. The prospect of traveling with a rider and having them able to chat to you could sound like a nightmare. Yet, with bikes packing so much electronics, the usage of communication is simple. A Bluetooth headset can enable listening to music from your phone or making calls from turn-by-turn navigation using Google Maps or Waze to instruct fellow riders. With a Bluetooth headset, you may be able to communicate with your riding companions.

With many features described earlier, you can select the best Bluetooth device. So you will not miss any conversation with your fellow riders while on the road.

Check out our list of the best Bluetooth devices.

5 Best Dirt Bike Helmets in 2021-2022

Selecting a dirt bike helmet is a big deal because it’s one of the essential pieces of protective gear a rider will ever buy. When shopping for a dirt bike helmet, consider certification, shell materials, EPS, design, venting, and peripheral vision.

As a result, dirt bike helmets are perfect for complete safety while riding on motocross tracks. These Dirt Bike helmets will keep you safe in the event of an accident. You may have even noticed the unique design of dirt bike helmets, which differ from street helmets in terms of a more noticeable chin and superior ventilation. This one-of-a-kindness stresses the importance of these helmets for off-road riding and providing excellent safety to the rider or motorcycle. That is why we have gathered a list of the Top 5 Ideal Dirt Bike Helmet to help you decide which helmet is best for you.

If you’re short on time, here’s a list of every helmet on this list, including a short description of why we chose it!

Bell Moto-9 Flex Best Ventilated Dirt bike helmet Check Price
6D ATR-2 The Most Durable and Lightweight Check Price

1) Shoei VFX-EVO – Safest Dirt Bike Helmet

The VFX-EVO (VFX-WR in Europe) is Shoei‘s newest motocross helmet, aiming to take it to the next level.

It has EQRS, which stands for Equal Value Rating Scale. With 16 intake and exhaust vents, it’s more ventilated than previous models. The exterior shell has undergone wind tunnel testing to create a more modern, complicated shape that Shoei hopes will increase aerodynamic performance.

Additionally, this is the first time a Shoei has included a technology to deal with rotating forces generated after an impact. In Shoei’s terminology, their system is known as the motion energy distribution system. This may be to give them the catchy acronym MEDS, but in any case, it’s supposed to allow the helmet to move independently from the rider and, according to Shoei, minimize rotation by 15%.

Shoei VFX-EVO
Shoei VFX-EVO

Safety

The Shoei VFX-EVO features Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus (AIM+) shell technology.

The Shoei X-Fourteen track helmet and the RF-1200 sport bike helmet use the same multi-layered composite material. It is made of fiberglass, and Shoei mixes it with other materials called organic fibers, which are engineered to be lightweight and more flexible to absorb energy.

For the very first time Shoei, they have a liner that protects the rider from rotating stresses. Shoei’s take on the liner used by Bell and 6D, dubbed MEDS (motion energy distribution system). Shoei added EQRS to the VFX-EVO. That method enables paramedics to remove the cheek pads and hence the helmet from a downed rider with less risk of hurting their neck. Finally, the Shoei VFX-EVO incorporates a sturdy double-D ring clasp that should hold the helmet secure if appropriately tightened.

Ventilation

A brow vent crosses the goggle port. Right above it is two crown vents that pull airflow from the peak into the helmet. Of course, there’s the chin bar vent. This brings air to the lips and face. It’s detachable, has an aluminum screen, and has a washable foam filter. There are exhausts on the crown, top, lower, collar, and sides of the helmet, all designed to give maximum ventilation and keep you cool when riding off-road.

And many riders think that the VFX-EVO’s venting is excellent. Water can get into the chin bar vent if it rains, but I imagine it won’t be an issue if you’re working up a sweat.

If you’re riding in the heat and working hard, you should be OK because the venting is excellent to incredible.

Visor/Peak

To reduce lift and buffeting, the apex doubles as a roost protection visor. Lastly, it directs air to the crown air vents. To lower it, unscrew a single unified screw and slide the visor down to the desired position. For reducing lift at speed, peaks can be adjusted. Because its peak could cause rotational damage if it sinks in and isn’t secured adequately by three polycarbonate screws, it’s a good thing they shear off upon impact.

More safety features have been added to the AIM+ composite shell, including the new MEDS anti-rotation system and the quick-release cheek pad removal system (EQRS). The chin bar and peak have also been improved. There’s also plenty of room inside for goggles, and there are numerous safety features throughout the AIM+ composite shell.

It’s also well-built, and owners praise the aerodynamics, ventilation, and comfort.

PROS

  • More comfort
  • Great active ventilation
  • Cool graphics

CONS

  • Helmet is on a noisy side

2) Arai VX-Pro 4 – Helmet with the better visibility

Aggressive dirt riders would like the Arai VX-PRO 4. Arai increased the weight of this model by 4 ounces to accommodate more durable and complicated elements on this aggressive dirt bike helmet. Arai designed this high-end helmet to protect off-road riders from injury. That’s why the Arai VX-PRO 4 is a terrific pick for a great dirt bike helmet that’s also customizable.

Arai VX-Pro 4
Arai VX-Pro 4

Safety

The VX PRO-4 has a 2015 SNELL rating and fulfills DOT safety regulations for optimal riding safety and security. You can even see three enormous chin vents on the front, one in the center and two on the sides. They’re all quite large. The circular chin bar on the Arai VX-PRO 4 is one of the model’s most notable characteristics. Making of chin bar is to break out and away from your face in the event of an accident, rather than to collapse inward on your face or chin. The strong materials on the mask’s exterior would not collapse against the rider’s face, providing a second layer of protection and comfort.

Ventilation

The chin vents are integrated. Arai has improved the airflow on the PRO 3 significantly. Most motocross riders keep their vents open. Therefore Arai made all of the vents passive. They also include an exterior rear casing that helps keep debris out of the ventilation system. There are eight passive vents on the outside of the helmet (not including the front mask vents). This allows cool air to circulate to the front, sides, and top of the helmet, keeping the rider cool—the extra vents on the back of the helmet suck warm, damp air out. The complete vent system circulates cool air throughout the helmet. The back of the breath guard can be removed to increase airflow into the mask. You may easily open or close the breath guard inside the mask if you don’t require so much airflow.

Visor/Peak

Under the visor’s peak, there’s a grated area you can see underneath it if you look closely. For reduced glare and stray light, this region has been specially built to absorb direct sunlight. The VX-PRO 4 from Arai has yet another exclusive feature to protect the rider’s eyes while increasing overall visibility. The visor or peak readily breaks off in the case of a crash or accident. The peak of the mask is adjustable up and down to improve visibility or reduce glare from the sun.

Overall, a great dirt bike helmet. Arai has put a lot of effort into making the VX-PRO 4 a top and comfortable helmet. The excellent ventilation and the ability to personalize the comfort and fit are two premium characteristics that many riders will appreciate about this helmet.

PROS

  • Great comfort
  • peak design privides great visibility
  • Well ventilated

CONS

  • Not rated for “SHARP”

3) Bell Moto-9 Flex – Well Ventilated Helmet

The Moto 9 Flex has an interior lined with Bell’s proprietary “Flex” comfort and protection technology. Bell’s goal with Flex technology is to provide maximum protection in a lightweight and comfortable helmet.

Bell’s top-tier helmet. The Moto 9 Flex’s technology and design bring it on par with some of the most excellent pro-level helmets in the business.

Bell Moto-9 Flex
Bell Moto-9 Flex

Safety

This helmet lining protects your neck and head while also reducing rotational stresses on the helmet in low-speed, angular impacts.

Do you have any idea how this is even possible?

The Flex liner is designed to move in and out of the way when the helmet is worn. Its rotational strength and additional padding make the Moto 9 Flex well-suited for low-speed motocross and off-road crashes, where rotational forces can be particularly painful and damaging to the rider. For reduced energy transfer via the helmet, there are additional layers of protection. Additional layers increase the distance the strike must travel before hitting your head, enhancing the liner’s ability to absorb, redistribute, and decrease the impact stress.

Ventilation

How does the Moto 9 Flex’s ventilation compare to other helmets? With so many layers inside the liner, you’d assume you wouldn’t receive much airflow or ventilation from the helmet. Riding aggressively at the pro level, especially during training and competition, might cause your helmet to overheat.

The Moto 9 Flex features nine distinct vents to ensure that the rider is well-ventilated and can breathe and cool off quickly. Air can flow freely from front to rear of the helmet because of the comfort liner’s numerous apertures and vents.

Visor/Peak

The amount of visibility that Bell provides to riders is on par with the other high-end features. Seeing out of the eye-port is a breeze thanks to the large openings on both the top and bottom of the mask, as well as plenty of room in front for goggles of any size.

If you don’t care about budget and want a high-tech, pro-level helmet, look for something that will keep you safe and comfortable. The Bell Moto 9 Flex is our top pick for pro-level helmets because it combines safety and comfort.

PROS

  • Well ventilated
  • Flex protection technology for protection
  • Interchangeable peak

CONS

  • Not easy to customize
  • High pricing

4) 6D ATR-2 – Durable and Lightweight

6D Known as a manufacturer that isn’t hesitant to try new things, 6D has created a reputation by mixing cutting-edge technology into all aspects of its helmets. No exceptions exist when it comes to the 6D ATR-2. The ATR-2 is a high-tech piece of equipment created with one objective in mind: to keep its rider as safe as possible no matter what the road throws at them. Don’t let the price put you off. For those who can afford it, investing in an ATR-2 might be your best option for personal safety.

6D ATR-2
6D ATR-2

Safety

It has been said before, but it needs repeating: this helmet is designed to keep its rider as safe as possible. The thick outer shell provides the initial line of defense. In contrast, the solid outer lining (essentially an inner shell) provides further protection. This is because the outer and inner linings have dampening towers that absorb the energy from collisions and other probable harm before it reaches your brain.

The front brow rib protects the face and eyes. In contrast, the back Cervical Protection Zone protects the neck from backward and sideways vibrations.

A very safe helmet. This helmet has been tested and approved by both the DOT and ECE. But it hasn’t been SHARP tested.

Ventilation

This helmet’s ventilation is also excellent. Whereas other helmets may have a few ports and vents here and there, D6 seems to have gone crazy and stuffed ventilation points everywhere.

The ATR-2 features 15 ventilation points: 9 intake and 6 exhaust openings. The outcome is a helmet that is highly ventilated and keeps you comfortable. The ports and exhausts can be mixed and matched to provide the appropriate support and comfort for the conditions and mood.

Visor/Peak

With the ATR-2, visibility has never been an issue. There is plenty of room for any goggles you may wish to bring along because it has an open-face design. A detachable sun visor keeps the glare from the sunlight out of your eyes and can be put in and taken out with the turn of a few screws.

Overall, this helmet is for the most dedicated and serious of bikers. With the ATR-2, you get a lot more for your money because of the advanced technology included in the helmet, but it’s well worth it.

PROS

  • Tough and durable
  • Lightweight
  • Huge vision port

CONS

  • Noisy helmet

5) Alpinestars M10 Supertech – Sleek & Stylish

The M10 is an excellent dirt bike helmet in terms of utility and fit. Carbon fiber construction is one of the product’s outstanding qualities. Outer shell is of a much lighter material than anything else, it helps riders stay more alert on long bike rides. As a rider, you may not notice the weight savings of a few ounces. Still, after wearing the M10 for a while, you’ll notice the carbon fiber shell’s superiority over other helmets.

Alpinestars M10
Alpinestars M10 Supertech

Safety

A MIPS-like technology inside the helmet’s interior helps to assist the liner and shell separate. Dirt bike helmets are now becoming standard with MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection Systems), which can help prevent a concussion. Although this is true, wearing a helmet does not guarantee you will not have a concussion, so don’t rely only on it to keep your head safe.

Alpinestars made the M10 one of the safest helmets ever seen by utilizing R&D in other areas. Compared to other models, this one has more functions, and it’ll still be helpful if you have an incident on the path.

Ventilation

Alpinestars’ years of research and development pay off here. There are a whopping 19 intake and 5 exhaust vents on this helmet, ensuring fantastic airflow. Riders have put the M10 through its paces in temperatures as high as 115 degrees Fahrenheit without gaining a pound of water weight.

The visor’s shape also aids airflow inside the helmet, making it perfect for desert riders. Sand and rocky terrain enthusiasts will enjoy how well the Supertech maintains their heads cool during their exploits.

Visor/Peak

The M10’s wide field of view makes it an excellent choice for motocrossers of all skill levels. Additionally, the A-Head adjustment system allows you to fine-tune the fit of your goggles while simultaneously allowing you to control how far back your helmet rests on your skull.

Alpinestars has made sure you have a wide enough field of vision while off-roading so that you can see well. There are no blind spots or barriers to worry about when you’re riding.

Alpinestars fans will please know that the company has produced a high-quality dirt bike helmet for the market. With four different shell sizes and a carbon fiber frame, this is a fantastic product. Alpinestars knew exactly what they were doing when they created the M10, despite some people’s disapproval of the design.

PROS

  • Custom-fit and sizing options
  • Sleek and stylish design
  • Carbon fiber build

CONS

  • Mud can clog vents very easy
  • No ‘Snell’ tested

Conclusion

There are numerous factors to consider when looking to purchase a dirt bike helmet. Choosing a fantastic helmet in 2021 will be difficult since there are so many real gems available. I am confident that after reading this blog, you will be able to pick the best dirt bike helmet for your needs and riding style.

Net Working Capital Formula Example Calculation Ratio

change in net working capital formula

The inverse of having a negative working capital indicates that the company owes more than it has in its cash flow. Net working capital is the financial cushion that allows businesses to meet their short-term financial obligations. Think of it as the money set aside to pay your monthly rent, salaries, and utility bills.

Is Negative Working Capital Bad?

Taken together, this process represents Accounting Periods and Methods the operating cycle (also called the cash conversion cycle). Suppose an appliance retailer mitigates these issues by paying for the inventory on credit (often necessary as the retailer only gets cash once it sells the inventory). In other words, there are 63 days between when cash was invested in the process and when cash was returned to the company. Therefore, the working capital peg is set based on the implied cash on hand required to run a business post-closing and projected as a percentage of revenue (or the sum of a fixed amount of cash). On the subject of modeling working capital in a financial model, the primary challenge is determining the operating drivers that must be attached to each working capital line item. Working capital should be assessed periodically over time to ensure that no devaluation occurs and that there’s enough left to fund continuous operations.

change in net working capital formula

. What does the change in working capital on the balance sheet represent?

The working capital metric is relied upon by practitioners to serve as a critical indicator of liquidity risk and operational efficiency of a particular business. Working capital can’t lose its value to depreciation over time, but it may be devalued when some assets have to be marked to market. This can happen when an asset’s price is below its original cost and others aren’t salvageable. The exact working capital figure can change every day depending on the nature of a company’s debt. What was once a long-term liability, such as a 10-year loan, becomes a current liability in the ninth year, when the repayment deadline is less than a year away. Sufficient working capital https://www.bookstime.com/ can also help businesses — especially those with seasonal fluctuations — withstand slow periods.

  • The “change” refers to how the cash flow has changed based on the working capital changes.
  • But if you’re looking at a company where you can’t find the numbers from the cash flow statement for whatever reason, here’s how you do it and how the data from the OSV Analyzer is provided.
  • For instance, if NWC is negative due to the efficient collection of receivables from customers who paid on credit, quick inventory turnover, or the delay in supplier/vendor payments, that could be a positive sign.
  • Net working capital is most helpful when it’s used to compare how the figure changes over time, so you can establish a trend in your business’s liquidity and see if it’s improving or declining.
  • You can calculate the current ratio by taking current assets and dividing that figure by current liabilities.
  • The more working capital a company has, the less likely it is to take on debt to fund the growth of its business.

Positive Impacts

  • Essentially, working capital is the amount of money a company has available to pay its short-term expenses.
  • Next, add up all the current liabilities line items reported on the balance sheet, including accounts payable, sales tax payable, interest payable, and payroll.
  • This indicates the company lacks the short-term resources to pay its debts and must find ways to meet its short-term obligations.
  • Working capital tells you the level of assets your business has available to meet its short-term obligations at a given moment in time.
  • How do we record working capital in the financial statementse.g I borrowed 200,000.00 Short term long to pay salaries and other expenses.
  • For example, consider a manufacturing company facing challenges in collecting receivables from customers, leading to a significant increase in A/R.
  • For example, if you have $1.35 million in cash, $750,000 worth of products, $58,000 in short-term investments, and $560,000 in accounts receivable, your total current assets would be $2.158 million.

Net working capital is important because it gives an idea of a business’s liquidity and whether the company has enough money to cover its short-term obligations. If the net working capital figure is zero or greater, the business is able to cover its current obligations. Generally, the larger the change in net working capital net working capital figure is, the better prepared the business is to cover its short-term obligations. Businesses should at all times have access to enough capital to cover all their bills for a year.

  • Some accounts receivable may become uncollectible at some point and have to be totally written off, representing another loss of value in working capital.

They are a cross between a street helmet and a dirt helmet, it’s a must-have pick for any bike owner that likes to switch things up every once in a while. 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.

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.
