Pilot ST-17 Helmet Review
Pilot Motosport Made A $100.00 Helmet. So, How Good Can A 100-buck Helmet Be? Let’s find out… “You can’t get something for nothing.” It’s a tired saying but one that is hard to argue with. However, it can be surprising how much you can get for seemingly little. Over the years we have reviewed helmets from a …
Nolan N87 Helmet Review
It just doesn’t get any better than this! The new Nolan N87 beats every other helmet in its price range. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to spend twice as much and still get as much. The N87 has fantastic build quality and just about every feature you need in a full-face helmet. Its new double-density …
Scorpion EXO-AT950 Review
A Dual-Sport Flip-Up Bargain The Scorpion EXO-AT950 is a brand-new dual-sport flip-up for 2016. It’s based on the excellent Scorpion EXO-GT920 flip-up we reviewed recently. The dual-sport version of a flip-up helmet is a new thing and whether you need one or not is debatable. But if you do, there’s no better deal than the Scorpion AT950. You’ll …
Bell Qualifier DLX Review
An Intercom-Ready Super Value The sub-$250 helmets made by Bell are probably the best-kept secrets in motorcycling. HJC overshadows everyone else when it comes to value-priced helmets and there’s nothing wrong with that. But there’s something extra special about the $100 to $250 helmets in the Bell lineup and we have reviewed nearly all of them …
Kabuto Kamui Helmet Review
Sport Touring and Street Riding Excellence A helmet that fits? A miracle! The Kabuto Kamui is said to be the helmet for sport touring, aka street riding. And it’s perfectly suited for that task…especially for us “Round” heads. The level of quality belie the Kamui’s low list price; it’s just a penny under 250 bucks. …
HJC FG-17 Review
HJC FG-17 Helmet Review The HJC FG-17 slides in just under the company’s top-of-the-line RPHA-10 race helmet, which was formerly known as the HJC RPS-10 (review). The FG-17 incorporates many of the high-spec features from the RPHA-10, including the unique centrally-located visor lock. It has a fiberglass composite shell in place of the polycarbonate shells …
AFX FX-95 Review
AFX FX-95 Helmet Review The FX-95 is the top-of-the-line helmet in the AFX 2011 lineup. It has an improved face shield and rotator and the helmet now meets both DOT and ECE 22.05 safety standards. It represents yet another outstanding value in the new 2011 AFX lineup and its low price means they’ll be selling …
Bell Arrow Review
Bell Arrow Helmet Review The Bell Arrow is one of the best motorcycle helmet bargains to be found. It has excellent build quality and it includes a few features either not found or poorly implemented on other helmets costing three or four times more. Less than $100.00, outstanding comfort, low noise levels and a five-year …
Marushin X-Moto Helmet
Marushin X-Moto “Squadron” Helmet Military-themed helmets are hot, hot, hot. Helmets like the Akuma “Ghost Rider” (review) selling faster than an F-22A. I’m not sure about the origins of the military look. And as for the sociological implications of people dressing like soldiers…well, let’s not go there. Maybe motorcyclists are simply getting tired of helmets with same-old …
HJC FS-10 Review
A High/Low End HJC Helmet? Shell seems bulky. The exhaust vents and design of the liner allow higher than average noise levels. Rotating internal sun visor works only in the full on or off positions. The HJC FS-10 fills a gap that HJC apparently perceived in their lineup. The FS-10 is one of the most …
Bell Zephyr Helmet Review
The Walmart Bell Helmet Go ahead and scoff, but I’m declaring the Bell Zephyr to be the Motorcycle Helmet Bargain of 2007. A Zephyr review was originally suggested by a webBikeWorld visitor, and, I’ll admit, I was skeptical. The helmet is primarily sold by Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart? Motorcycle helmets? But, we’ve tried ’em all, from the …
Bell Sprint Helmet Review
A Good Cheap Helmet Bell Helmets used to own the industry in a way that’s hard to understand by anyone who doesn’t remember. There are dozens of excellent helmets to choose from today, manufactured to very high quality standards and meeting the world’s best safety standards. I have no proof to back up this claim. …
HJC CL-14 Review
One of the Best Cheap Helmets Good quality, comfortable liner, quiet on unfaired bikes but can be loud when affected by turbulence. Air flow could be better. Lots of chin room. The CL-14 face shield provides good visibility, but this one is rather flimsy. According to our search logs, one of the most popular helmets …
M2R MR10 Motorcycle Helmet Review
Discount Snell Approved Motorcycle Helmet Meets DOT and Snell standards. The size XL fits “Round” or “Earth” shaped heads best (see the Motorcycle Helmet FAQ). Light weight at 1426 grams. Flimsy top vent extractor is attached to helmet with double-sided tape. Verdict? Spend more and get more. Can a motorcycle helmet be too cheap…or rather, too …
Zeus ZS-508 Motorcycle Helmet Review
An $84.00 Flip-up? The unsolicited emails from Zeus 508 helmet owners started arriving about three years ago. We received so many comments that we decided to set up a Zeus “Owner Reports” page as an online testimonial to the product from its many fans. Eventually, we just had to find out what all the excitement was about. …
