Modular motorcycle helmets

Two helmets in one

The modular helmet combines the protection of a full-face and the practicality of a jet: its chin guard can be lifted with one hand using a button, allowing you to talk, drink, pay at tolls, or put on glasses without taking off the helmet. It's the favourite helmet of travellers and urban bikers who make many stops. It is a bit heavier than a full-face helmet due to the chin guard mechanism.

The other helmets

Motorcycle helmets also come in:

• Full-face.
• Jet.
• Off-road.
• Bluetooth intercom.
• Masks and visors.
• Maintenance.

All the helmets are gathered on the helmets page.

Full-face and jet at the same time

A modular helmet can have a dual certification, indicated by the letters P/J: it is certified both as a full-face, with the chin guard closed, and as a jet, with the chin guard open, allowing you to ride with the chin guard lifted. The LS2 Advant, Advant X, and Advant II take the concept further: their chin guard pivots fully to the back of the helmet, creating a truly balanced jet. Since 2023, new helmets sold in Europe must meet the ECE 22.06 standard, which is more demanding than the previous one.

Equipment and size

The LS2 Advant includes a retractable sun visor, a screen compatible with an anti-fog Pinlock film, and provisions for a Bluetooth intercom. The Nox Premium Spinner, reversible, offers another accessible approach to a versatile helmet. A helmet is chosen based on the head circumference, measured above the eyebrows: it should fit snugly without pressure points and should not move on the head. It should be replaced after a fall or after a few years, as the protective foam loses its properties over time.

Good deals

Good bargains can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday.

Frequently asked questions

Modular or full-face helmet: which one to choose?

The full-face helmet is lighter, quieter, and stiffer, ideal for sporty rides. The modular helmet, a bit heavier, lifts up at stops: perfect for tourism, the city, and bikers who wear glasses.

Can you ride with the chin guard lifted?

Only if the helmet carries the dual certification P/J, which allows use as a jet. Otherwise, the chin guard must remain closed while riding, as the helmet is only certified in the full-face position.

How do you measure your head circumference for a motorcycle helmet?

Measure the head circumference above the eyebrows and ears with a tape measure. A new helmet should fit snugly without pain, as the foam compresses with use.

Can a modular helmet accommodate an intercom?

Most recent modular helmets have a space for speakers and the communication module. Check compatibility, as some helmets are pre-equipped for a dedicated intercom.

What is a reversible helmet like the Nox Spinner?

Its chin guard pivots to the back of the helmet, which then becomes a true balanced jet, instead of remaining raised above the forehead and catching the wind.
