How Much is a Motorcycle Helmet?

Motorcycle helmets are an essential piece of gear for any rider. It’s the only thing protecting your head from a severe injury if you’re unfortunate enough to get into a crash, and it can be costly, which is why some people may be tempted not to wear one. Do you know how much is a motorcycle helmet?

The Cost of Motorcycle Helmets

The cost of most motorcycle helmets will range from $50 to $1,000. The price difference depends on the size of the helmet and if it is DOT approved or not. The most common helmet in the U.S. is a half-shell helmet that costs between $150-$300 for DOT-approved helmets, but interchangeable parts are required for different sizes and head shapes.

You can save some money on these helmets if you can find older ones, used ones, or you know someone who will give you one, as long as it’s in good shape, of course.

Most newer motorcycle riders purchase a full-face helmet that is DOT approved. These helmets average around $300, but the price range is usually between $200-$1200 based on the size and brand. Some of the most expensive helmets cost more than $1500.

It is advisable to go for the safest helmets, which are approved and have undergone rigorous testing by engineers to ensure they protect your brain from injury in case of a crash. The tests include an impact test, anti-fog testing and chin bar testing. These helmets cost anywhere between $250 – $1200 depending on the size of the helmet.

Some people purchase a helmet for aesthetic reasons or to match their motorcycle style, but anyone who is riding should be wearing a DOT-approved helmet. Even if you’re not planning on carrying passengers, it’s still recommended that you wear one for your safety.

Helmets Cost

The lack of protective gear can deprive victims of lawsuit monies in case of accidents because they are required by law to have one, even if they don’t use it. It’s always best not to take chances for your health and injury protection as this is something no one wants to deal with after an accident, so get a protective helmet.
