Smallest, Lightest and Most Aerodynamic Helmets

July 22, 2019

Motorcycle helmets are bulky, there’s no arguing that. More often than not, a motorcycle helmet is the only piece of equipment keeping a rider alive after a crash, which is why most helmet manufacturers focus more on durability and protection than they do on aerodynamics and weight. However, what about those riders who want comfort for longer rides, or who need head safety gear that is more aerodynamic for increased speed? Fortunately, there are helmet manufacturers that focus on providing motorcycle riders with some of the best helmet protection around, without sacrificing comfort or speed. Read on for details regarding some of the best motorcycle helmets online.

Best Modular Helmets

Modular helmets are both comfortable and versatile and are a combination of open-faced and full faced helmets. While cruising, riders can keep the face mask down for full protection, but when stopped at a stop light or at the starting line, they can flip it up for some fresh air.

One of the best modular helmets is the AGV Sportmodular Carbon Adjustable Helmet, which weighs less than three pounds and is aerodynamic, has a sunscreen and is lined with reversible inner padding that provides comfort and breathability. Th X-Lite X-1004 Ultra Carbon, which weighs in at 3.5 pounds, is a close competitor and features a neck protector, double homologation P/J and space for an intercom, in addition to the sunscreen and comfortable interior.

Full-Face Helmets

Full-face helmets are for on- and off-road use and provide greater protection than modular helmets. For this reason, many people assume full-face helmets are bulkier than modular helmets, but they’re not—at least, higher-quality ones are not.

Take the Nexx XR1R Carbon, for instance. This helmet weighs little more than 2.5 pounds and is DOT-certified. It is lined with Coolmax fabric, which is both anti-sweat and anti-allergenic, and features two vent inlets and four outlets. You can remove the fabric after a long day on the tracks and toss it in the wash for the next adventure.

The AGV Pista GP weighs slightly more, at 3.1 pounds, and is designed for racing. The shell comes in four sizes (as opposed to the two the Nexx XR1R offers) and features five vents in total: three uppers, two lowers and two extractors in the rear. The lining is made of breathable Lycra and Dry-Comfort fabric that features Coolmax technology. Despite being designed for the tracks, it too is DOT-certified.

Off-Road Helmets

Off-roaders typically wear goggles to protect their eyes, hence the reason most off-road helmets do not feature a sunshield. Off-road helmets are generally lighter in weight than their modular and full-face counterparts, but these helmets take aerodynamic to the next level.

The Airoh Aviator 2.1 Carbon weighs 1.96 pounds, though riders should add a few ounces for each size up from an XS they have to go. It is DOT-certified and features two upper vents, three lower front vents and two rear extractors. It is made of carbon and Kevlar composite.

The LAZER MX8 Carbon tech is almost a whole pound heavier at 2.82 pounds. However, this particular helmet features 14 vents, a double rear extractor and Coolmax lining that is antimicrobial and hydrophilic. It is DOT-certified.
