Motorcycle Helmets

Shop motorcycle helmets and motorbike helmets for commuting, touring, road riding, track days and off-road use. Moto Central stocks full-face, flip-front, open-face, adventure, motocross and convertible designs from manufacturers including Arai, Shoei, AGV, HJC, Shark, LS2, Schuberth, Bell and Airoh.

The right helmet starts with a secure fit and the type of riding you do. Compare shell construction, weight, ventilation, visor features, intercom compatibility and the approval information shown on each product page. Then use the collection filters to narrow the range by size, colour, brand, price and features.

Shop motorcycle helmets by type

• Full-face helmets provide full chin-bar coverage and suit road, sports and all-weather riding.
• Flip-front helmets combine full-face coverage with a lifting chin section, making them a practical choice for commuting and touring.
• Open-face helmets offer a wide field of view and an airy feel for urban, scooter and relaxed road riding.
• Adventure helmets pair road-friendly visors with off-road-inspired peaks and ventilation for mixed-surface riding.
• Motocross helmets use an extended peak and chin bar for off-road riding and are normally worn with compatible goggles.

How should a motorbike helmet fit?

A helmet should feel snug and even around the whole head, without painful pressure points. It should not rotate or lift independently when you move your head. Helmet brands and models use different internal shapes, so the same labelled size can feel different from one range to another.

Measure around the widest part of your head and compare the result with the manufacturer-specific size guide on the product page. Our motorcycle helmet sizing guide explains the process in more detail.

Features worth comparing

• Shell and weight: materials and shell sizes affect weight, balance and how bulky a helmet feels.
• Ventilation: compare the position and adjustment of intake and exhaust vents for the conditions you ride in.
• Visor system: check field of view, visor removal, internal sun visor and Pinlock compatibility. Product pages state what is included where information is available.
• Interior: look for removable, washable padding and the cheek-pad options offered for the exact model.
• Intercom preparation: speaker recesses and model-specific communication systems can make installation neater.
• Intended use and approval: check the individual listing for the helmet's stated use and applicable approval standard.

Motorcycle helmet questions

Are motorcycle helmets and motorbike helmets different?

No. In UK shopping searches, the two phrases describe the same product category. The important differences are helmet type, fit, features and intended use.

Should I choose a full-face or flip-front helmet?

A full-face helmet has a fixed chin bar. A flip-front helmet has a hinged chin section for added convenience when stopped. Compare the individual model's weight, fit, approval information and permitted configurations before deciding.

Which helmet is best for commuting?

That depends on your route and priorities. Commuters often compare all-weather coverage, easy visor operation, ventilation, an internal sun visor and intercom preparation. Fit should remain the deciding factor.
