Top 5 Motorcycle Helmets of 2021

Mar. 18 2021 Safety By Brad

Riding a car is nowhere near as exhilarating as riding a motorcycle. Yet, we know that a motorcycle doesn't provide the same kind of safety that a car does, which means that no matter how far you're going, you should always wear your protective gear when taking your motorcycle for a spin. 

In fact, serious head injuries are the most common injury to occur during an accident. Motorcycle helmets are approximately 37% effective in preventing deaths. In other words, you should never ride your motorcycle without wearing your helmet. 

However, not all helmets offer the best kind of protection or safety. Today, we've brought you the top 5 motorcycle helmets of 2021. 

1. Can-Am XP-R2 Carbon Light Original Helmet

One of the most common annoyances about wearing a motorcycle helmet is all the extra weight it adds to your neck and back. However, this helmet is known for its lightweight feel, making it easier for you to shift your head around.

Some other features include the following:

  • Contains a full air system, plus 10 ventilation points and a double rear extractor
  • Removable cheek and head pads, which are also washable
  • A double D racing buckle 
  • A pocket for a sweat-absorbent front pad.

The Can-Am XP-R2 Carbon Light helmet is the priciest in our shop—with all good reason. 

2. Can-Am XP-3 X-Race Helmet 

The Can-Am XP-3 X-Race helmet is also known to be an extremely light helmet. Even if you purchase the largest size, it'll only weigh up to 1470g.

Other neat features of this helmet are as follows:

  • Contains a front and rear vent system to keep you fresh and cool
  • It's an aero-tuned helmet, which means it allows good airflow around your neck and down your back
  • Has a stainless steel front vent design

Thanks to its fiberglass shell, it can offer high protection and comfort, and it can improve performance. Not to mention, it exceeds the SNELL M2015, D.O.T., and ECE certifications. 

3. Can-Am XP-3 Pro Race Helmet

The great thing about the Can-Am XP-3 Pro X Race Helmet is its impact-absorbing EPS liner. This liner is a top-quality foam implemented in helmets to absorb any high-impact hits, offering large protection.

This helmet also features the following:

  • Multi-colored, clear-coated graphics, making them more durable
  • Completely aero-tuned
  • A fully adjustable visor system, which allows you to reposition the visor in order to accommodate full goggles and strap grippers

Plus, its design is unique. It offers a sleek, gold, and black design for those who love flashy designs.

4. Can-Am XP-3 Helmet

The XP-3 helmet is the cheaper alternative out of all the other helmets we've discussed so far. However, this doesn't mean its quality is low. Its shell is made of ultra-light premium fiberglass with an EPS liner instilled into it. 

Plus, it includes the following:

  • A great ventilation system, providing good airflow and maximizes cooling
  • Lightweight double-D chin straps
  • A stainless-steel front vent design

This helmet is a lot more accessible, as its price range isn't over the top compared to the others. It's also perfect for those riders who prefer a discreet design, as it's coated in matte black. 

5. Can-Am XC-4 Helmet

The XC-4 helmet is highly similar to the XP-3 helmet, but with a few differences. Aside from the fact that it's nearly $100 less than the XP-3, its shell construction is made of light polycarbonate, not fiberglass, which impacts the price. 

It doesn't mean it's any less good, though. Polycarbonate is known to be incredibly tough, durable, and extremely light. It offers great resistance, and the material is cheap to manufacture.
