I ran across this article from SlashGear “EVERY MAJOR MOTORCYCLE HELMET BRAND RANKED WORST TO BEST IN NHTSA COMPLIANCE TESTING”. It is a very interesting list.
They ranked the top 14 helmet brands using the following methodology:
“To determine the best motorcycle helmet brands versus the worst, we’ve taken a look at brand compliance, meaning whether helmets pass rigorous testing standards by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and which safety standards their products meet or exceed, such as DOT, Snell, ECE, and others.”
I will summarize their top and bottom five.
Bottom 5 Top 5
HJC Helmets #1 Arai
KLIM #2 Shoei
Biltwell #3 Bell
AGV #4 BILT
LS2 #5 Schuberth
My personal helmets did not make the list… so somewhere in the middle? I HOPE!
Is your Motorcycle Helmet in the top or bottom 5?
