Motorcycle helmets are critical for the rider\u2019s safety. Riding a motorcycle without a helmet is against the law in many countries including the UAE. There are different types of helmets designed for different types of motorcycles<\/a>. Let\u2019s go through different types of motorcycle helmets in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Motorcycle Helmets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Let's
There are six different types of motorcycle helmets <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One doesn\u2019t ride a motorbike without a helmet. It’s not legal and it’s not safe. Riding a motorcycle can be intimidating. These machines don\u2019t have as many safety features as cars. A rider is basically exposed to all sorts of dangers while riding a motorbike. Therefore, one must always ride at acceptable speed limits and wear a helmet to protect head injuries in case of accidents.  Following is an explanation of different types of motorcycle helmets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full-face Helmets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Motorcycle
A full-face motorcycle helmet offers maximum level of protection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The most ideal type of helmet for daily motorcycle riding is the full-face helmet. Evident from the name, such helmets cover the entire face and head of the rider. Full-face helmets offer a great level of protection and saves riders from injuries to the head, skill and face. Such helmets are bulky when compared to other types of motorcycle helmets but are designed to keep the weight as minimum as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half-face Helmets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Half-face
Half-face helmet covers the head of a rider while the face is covered with a visor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another type of helmet is the three-quarter helmet, also known as the half-face helmet. This helmet covers the head of the rider leaving the face open. That said, the rider’s face is covered by the visor, giving a completely clear view of the field yet covering the face. Half-face helmets protect riders from head injuries; however, the visor does not protect the face from injuries during an accident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riders can wear sunglasses under half-face helmets. Communicating with such helmets is easier. Moreover, unlike full-face helmets, riders don\u2019t have to remove half-face helmets to sip water or wipe their face. If you are uncomfortable in a full-face helmet, try using a half-face helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modular Helmets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Modular
Modular helmets are popular among those who ride touring motorbikes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Somewhere between the half-face and the full-face helmet is a modular helmet. Such helmets have an adjustable front and can be moved up to convert the helmet into a half-faced one while riding. As for weight, modular helmets are a little heavier, owing to the added screws and bolts that make it a hybrid. To put it simply, modular helmets offer the protection of a full-face motorcycle helmet with the convenience of a half-faced helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half Shell Helmets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Half-shell or skull helmets protect the top of the head and the ears of the rider. Mostly, such helmets are preferred by scooter riders. However, such helmets are only good for light rides such as scooters or bikes. These are not ideal for daily motorcycle riding as the face, jaw and neck of a rider remain open in this helmet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off-Road Helmets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Off-road
Off-road riders must wear proper safety gear including off-road helmets to cover their tough journeys<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Off-road helmets are designed for rough-terrains. These helmets are not for routine motorbike riding. Instead they are made to counter the debris and dirt that gets kicked in the face of a rider on challenging terrains. Off-road helmets offer more resistance to protect the neck and they have air vents to keep the rider’s head cool, making them comfortable during longer and tougher rides.  Off-road helmets usually have front visors but riders prefer wearing goggles instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dual-Sports Helmets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dual-sport helmets are ideal for adventure riding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These helmets are mostly used by motorcycle riders who are proper pros. Dual-sport helmets are more aerodynamic and are usually for riders that hit the 650-cc mark or above. The protection offered by dual-sport helmets and their aerodynamics makes it perfectly safe for riders to cruise at high speeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart Motorcycle Helmets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Relatively new to the market, smart motorcycle helmets not only protect the head of the rider, but also boast technological features such as integrated headphones or speakers, a mic and a communication system. These helmets usually connect the rider’s smartphones to the helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is all about the different types of motorcycle helmets. Know that wearing a helmet isn\u2019t just a legality to be followed, it is also necessary for your safety. Always ride safe and avoid the common mistakes that lead to motorcycle accidents<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at these motorcycle parts for sale in the UAE<\/a> including helmets if you are looking for different types of helmets to buy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, if you don\u2019t have a motorbike yet and are looking to buy one, take a look at these used motorcycles for sale in the UAE<\/a>. Moreover, if you just want a motorbike for taking a tour and not for the long run, go through these motorcycle tour companies in the UAE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
