Editorial criteria
There is no single best helmet for everyone. We select relevant references by use case, context and what really matters before buying.
Featured helmets
A practical selection to help you decide. We compare each model’s purpose and trade-offs, not a universal score.
Shoei NXR2
Daily riding
Recommended for: urban journeys, country roads and weekend rides.
A very well-rounded premium option. It is neither the quietest choice for long distances nor the most affordable on the list.
AGV K6 S
Sport-touring
Recommended for: riders who combine bends, motorway and multi-day trips.
A 1,250 g carbon-aramid shell with a Pinlock insert included and real airflow. It is noisier on the motorway than a top Shoei, and original spare visors are not cheap.
Shoei Neotec 3
Modular
Recommended for: touring, city riding and anyone needing a flip-up chin bar.
Dual P/J homologation, an integrated Sena SRL 3 intercom and Shoei-grade finish. In return it weighs 1,732 g and easily passes €900 once fitted with the SRL 3.
HJC RPHA 1
Track
Recommended for: track days, sporty riding and riders looking for a racing-focused helmet.
A 1,438 g carbon shell, dual FIM + ECE 22.06 homologation and a tool-less Rapid Fire visor. At 100–102 dB it only pays off if you actually ride track days.
LS2 FF811 Vector II
Value
Recommended for: tighter budgets without giving up a current homologation.
An HPFC shell with Pinlock and a sun visor included, ECE 22.06 and a metal micrometric buckle. At 1,500 g it is not the lightest full-face, but nothing is cut on safety at this price.
AGV AX9
Trail
Recommended for: trail riding, adventure travel and relaxed mixed-surface routes.
Removable peak and visor. Mono Matt Carbon E2206 checked on AGV Spain on 17 October 2026; check version, size and availability.
