Frequently Asked Questions
Are cheap motorcycle helmets safe?
Yes, if they're DOT certified. Budget helmets like HJC i70 ($190), Bell Qualifier DLX, and LS2 FF320 score well in independent safety testing - often matching helmets costing twice as much. You sacrifice comfort features and build quality, not fundamental safety.
What is the best budget motorcycle helmet?
HJC i70 offers exceptional value at $180-200 with DOT certification and excellent features. Bell Qualifier DLX ($150-180) and LS2 FF320 ($120-150) also score highly. All exceed safety standards and offer features like drop-down sun visors.
Is it worth buying an expensive motorcycle helmet?
Premium helmets ($500+) offer better ventilation, quieter rides, lighter weight, and superior build quality - but not necessarily better crash protection. If budget is tight, a well-fitted $200 helmet protects as well as a $700 option.
