The Best Motorcycle Helmets for 2023
Every year, the team at our sister site, webBikeWorld, hands-on reviews dozens of motorcycle helmets. We take the learnings from those reviews and create recommendations that riders can use to make informed decisions about their riding gear.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Helmet Recommendations
Why should I trust your helmet recommendations?
That's a great question and we're glad you asked. The internet is full of fake: fake news, fake reviews, fake videos, and more. So why trust us?
First, our team has hands-on reviewed more motorcycle hemets than any other team on the internet (period). In fact, we're nearly at 500 in-depth reviews from lids that range from lowly to luxurious. Our experiences reviewing these helmets greatly informs our point of view.
Second, we invest in our subject matter expertise. We've sent members of our team down to Snell to learn more about how they test helmets, what tests are looking for, and what to look for in a lid. We've been to all the major industry events, and we're an active voice in the industry.
Lastly, our badass team isn't composed of random people that we outsource to. We only work with experienced riders, genuine enthusiasts, and people obsessed about the industry.
Finally, we update our recommendations twice per year to ensure that the latest helmets and best choices are reflected in them. We know that people rely on us to help them make informed decisions, and we take that seriously.
What's the connection with webBikeWorld?
Our badass team also works on webBikeWorld.com, which was founded in 2000 and is the web's largest independent motorcycle gear review site. wBW has nearly 3,000 hands-on reviews, and almost 500 of those are helmets.
BadassHelmets.com is focused entirely on badass lids that look sick, are comfortable to wear, and will keep your lid safe... whereas webBikeWorld.com extensively covers motorcycle gear (jackets, pants, boots, gloves, helmets... you name it).
So, the same team, but two distinct websites. You love to see it.
What do you look for in a helmet you recommend?
There is no such thing as a "one size fits all" lid.
