Carbon Fibre Helmets

About

Carbon fibre is the lightest serious helmet shell a rider can buy. This range gathers carbon-shelled lids from AGV, LS2, Bell and Nitro across full-face, modular, open-face, adventure and off-road styles. Less weight sits on your neck while structural strength holds, built for long touring days and fast laps alike. Carbon fibre wins on weight Carbon fibre delivers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any common helmet shell. A woven carbon shell resists impact while shaving grams off the total, which cuts fatigue across a 4-hour ride and lowers rotational load in a crash. Every helmet here meets ECE 22.06, the current benchmark that tests 18 impact points and adds rotational testing absent from the older 22.05 rule. While helmets carry their own ECE standard, riders pairing a carbon lid with body armour should look for EN 17092 abrasion ratings on jackets (AAA, AA, A) and CE Level 1 or CE Level 2 back and shoulder protectors for a complete kit. Match the shell to your riding Full-face carbon helmets give the widest coverage with a chin bar rated for direct frontal impact. Modular shells add a flip-up front for touring flexibility. Open-face carbon lids suit cruiser and urban riders who want airflow over full coverage. Sizing runs XS through 2XL, and a correct fit sits firm with no pressure points across a 20-minute wear test. Style Coverage Typical weight Best for Full-face 100% Under 1,500g Sport, track, touring Modular Flip-up chin 1,500g to 1,700g Touring, commuting Open-face Front-open Under 1,200g Cruiser, urban Adventure Peak plus visor Under 1,600g Dual-sport A typical carbon full-face weighs under 1,500g, around 200g to 300g lighter than a comparable polycarbonate lid. Replace any helmet 5 to 7 years from its manufacture date, or immediately after an impact. Check the EPS liner, the 25mm-plus comfort padding and the visor seal before every long trip.
