Arai Helmets

Again, it depends on you to choose where to divide the difference, but if you're intending on logging some serious highway miles on your twin sport, it's typically beneficial to compromise some off-road performance in the name of creature comforts.

DOT scores are the bare minimum demand in the states, yet DOT safety screening isn't particularly rigorous, so we like helmets with either Snell scores, ECE certification, or some mix of the three. For you hardcore off-roaders, a dirt-specific cover (motocross-style, no visor, open ventilation, etc) is perfectly great.

While double sport bikes are, by nature, generally more dirt-biased than their ADV relatives, both disciplines usually pull from the exact same swimming pool of headgear selections. Not all dual-sport riders are as interested in getting as unclean as others however, so here's our universal guidance when picking the ideal dual-sport safety helmet for your riding design.

With that said being stated, keep in mind that while many trusted full face helmets consist of an ECE qualification nowadays, you shouldn't neglect a helmet just because it doesn't have one. Thus, most double sporting activity cyclists have unique needs when it concerns bike equipment, specifically when it comes to headgears.
