Carbon Fiber Motorcycle Helmets
Make sure you buy one of the best carbon fiber motorcycle helmets
Carbon fiber motorcycle helmets are the lightest and strongest helmets. They are perfect for use on both the road and race track.
Carbon fiber helmet models are made by most helmet manufactuers including AGV, Arai, Bell, Caberg, Lazer, LS2 and Nuvo.
These helmets are also known as Carbon composite.
Why buy a Carbon Fibre helmet?
Safety test results
In the UK the organisation known as SHARP tests motorcycle helmets and rates them based on how well they protect a rider's head during a crash. Some of the safest helmets in these tests are made using carbon.
Motorcycle helmet weight
Carbon fiber helmets are some of the lightest helmets available to buy. They generally weigh around 1,200 grams which is very light. If you're going to wear a motorcycle helmet on long journeys or wear it while racing it's important that it is light so that neck and shoulder pain is reduced.
Price
Helmets made using Carbon used to be available only if you had a large budget (£400+). You can now get a carbon fiber helmet for £200! This is great value and is now comparable to a composite fiber helmet.
