Modular helmet

To talk about a modular helmet we must take into consideration some keys. Looking for a motorcycle helmet is sometimes not an easy task. The different types of motorcycle helmets sometimes make it an odyssey to find the one that best suits many of your needs.

There is the primary need for safety. We must not forget that a motorcycle helmet is, above all, the first element of active safety for the motorcyclist. It protects against a blow to the head in the event of an accident, so a good helmet can be the difference between an unpleasant scare or an undesirable outcome.

But sometimes there are other needs that a motorcycle helmet must meet. Comfort, versatility when getting on and off the bike and taking off the helmet, the flow with which one has to talk to other people even with the helmet on... that's where the functions of modular helmets come in.

Modular motorcycle helmets

Modular motorcycle helmets, also called flip-up helmets, fulfill the dual function of safety and versatility. The rider can get almost all the safety of a full-face helmet, but with the comfort of a jet helmet. How does he do it? Thanks to a folding chin guard that can be raised and lowered manually by means of a lever or activator that is generally located on the outside of the chin.

Thanks to this folding module, the motorcyclist can circulate safely with his helmet closed, and open it at specific moments to interact with another person or to run errands and work-related matters that involve little time. This saves considerable time and avoids the always cumbersome task of taking off and putting on the helmet continuously.

Now comes the question many of us ask: Is it possible to ride with the modular helmet open? The answer is: it depends. Generally, it is not allowed to ride with an open-face helmet, but there are currently certain modular motorcycle helmets with double homologation, that is, you can ride, thanks to a safety catch, both with the helmet open and with the helmet closed.

Therefore, when buying a modular helmet, you must take into account whether the helmet you choose has this homologation. Also, find out your helmet size correctly so that it fits your head perfectly, even when open.

another piece of advice? Avoid cheap motorcycle helmets.
