MODULAR HELMETS

What are Modular Helmets?

Modular Helmets are a unique blend between open and full-face helmets. They feature a hinge that allows the chin bar to flip up, offering both safety and convenience. A metal-to-metal locking mechanism ensures that the helmet remains secure in the event of a collision.

History of Modular Helmets

The early days of motorcycling featured primarily open-face helmets until Bell introduced the full-face design in the 1960s. These became popular for their added protection but left some riders missing the freedom of open-face helmets. Enter the Modular Helmet, designed to offer the best of both worlds: the protection of a full-face helmet and the convenience of an open-face design.

Pros of a Modular Helmet:

• A great balance between the protection of full-face helmets and the ventilation of open-face helmets.
• Perfect for hot climates where you'd want to let in some fresh air.
• Ideal for people who need to communicate frequently during stops, such as delivery agents.
• A comfortable option for those who wear glasses while riding.
• The flip-up chin bar is handy for quick sips of water or snacks during breaks.

Cons of a Modular Helmet:

Modular Helmets often weigh more than full-face helmets due to the mechanisms required for the flip-up chin bar.
