At Moto Central, as one of the UK’s leading retailers of motorcycle gear, we understand that choosing the right helmet is essential for your safety and comfort on the road. Our extensive range of helmets, available online and in our Leicestershire showroom, includes the biggest names in the market, such as Arai, Shoei, AGV, and HJC, all of which offer a variety of innovative features—including composite shells.
A composite shell represents a significant advancement in helmet technology, designed to deliver outstanding protection while remaining lightweight and comfortable. It’s a popular choice for riders seeking the perfect balance between safety, performance, and practicality.
What Makes a Composite Shell Special?
A composite shell is made from a blend of advanced materials such as fibreglass, Kevlar, carbon fibre, and high-performance polymer resins. These materials work together to provide superior strength and durability, ensuring the helmet can withstand and disperse impact forces effectively.
At Moto Central, we stock a wide range of helmets featuring composite shells, ideal for various riding styles—from high-speed sport bikes to long-distance touring. Let’s dive into what makes them so exceptional:
1. Advanced Impact Protection
Composite shells excel at absorbing and distributing the energy of an impact. The multi-layer construction allows the helmet to deform slightly under pressure, reducing the force transferred to your head. This helps minimize the risk of serious injuries and makes composite shells a top choice for safety-conscious riders.
2. Lightweight Comfort
Thanks to the inclusion of lightweight materials like carbon fibre and fibreglass, composite shell helmets are significantly lighter than traditional polycarbonate models. This reduces strain on your neck and shoulders during long rides, making them particularly popular among touring and adventure riders.
3. Superior Durability
The combination of materials ensures these shells are highly resistant to cracking and wear. They maintain their integrity even under extreme conditions, providing long-lasting reliability that every rider appreciates.
4. Premium Aerodynamics
Composite shells enable manufacturers to create sleek, aerodynamic designs, improving stability and reducing wind resistance. Whether you’re riding through city streets or carving corners on a track, a composite shell helmet enhances your performance and comfort.
5. Safety-Certified Performance
Every helmet we stock at Moto Central is rigorously tested and certified to meet or exceed the industry’s highest safety standards, including ECE 22.06, or FIM. Composite shell helmets from premium brands consistently deliver exceptional safety ratings.
