Hands-On Motorcycle Helmet Reviews Trusted by Riders For 20+ Years

Founded in 1954 by Roy Richter in California, Bell Helmets started with drag racing and motorcycle helmets, releasing its first helmet in 1968 for racing and in 1971 launched the first full face motorcycle helmet and the first full face off-road motorcycle helmet for dirt bike racing.

With investments in proprietary technology and safety Bell Helmets are some of our favorites here at WBW. Design-wise, Bell Helmets knows how to create amazing helmets from vintage and historical shapes to modern design and colors, often working with famous artists to create unique designs.

We love the retro throwback models such as the Custom 500 and the Moto-3 vintage motocross helmet. Other lines are equally impressive like the Bell Star line, the Street Star, Race Star, and the top of the line Pro Star helmet range.

SCHUBERTH is a German helmet manufacturer that is focused on the high end.

Their almost 90 years of history and engineering leadership has many pundits list them at the very top the helmet world with their unrivaled accolades and proprietary products.

Unique among manufacturers they own the end to end process and operate in many industries so their R&D is second to none (they have their own in-house labs and wind tunnels). When is comes to safety, comfort and superior helmets it is tough to beat SCHUBERTH who does in fact sit at the top of the premium brands category.

The downside to that of course is that SCHUBERTH aren’t cheap so they may not be a good fit for all budgets.
