How to Choose a Road Bike Helmet

A good road helmet keeps your head cool, stays comfortable for hours and does not feel heavy on long rides. The main things to compare are ventilation, weight, fit system and safety technology.

Ventilation and Weight

Large vents and internal channels pull air across your head to keep you cool on hot Australian days. Lighter helmets are noticeably more comfortable on long rides. The Giro Aries Spherical MIPS and Azur RX1 are both under 300g.

Safety Technology

The Giro Aries Spherical uses a ball-and-socket MIPS design that lets the outer shell rotate around the inner liner in an angled impact. The Giro Agilis uses a MIPS liner, and the Leatt Endurance range uses 360° Turbine Technology. Both technologies help reduce rotational forces on the head.

Fit and Comfort

A rear dial fit system lets you fine-tune the fit on the go, and a magnetic Fidlock buckle, found on the Leatt Endurance helmets, makes the strap easy to do up with gloves on.

Value Options

If you are new to road cycling, the BBB Maestro, BBB Hawk and Azur RX1 offer a comfortable, well-ventilated helmet at a great price.

Road Helmet Sizing and Fit

Measure around your head about 2cm above your eyebrows and ears, at the widest point, and compare it with the size range on the product page. If you are between sizes, the larger size with the fit system tightened usually works best.

A helmet should sit level on your head, about two finger widths above your eyebrows. The side straps should form a V just below each ear, and the chin strap should be snug enough that only one finger fits underneath. Tighten the rear fit system until the helmet does not rock when you shake your head.

When to Replace Your Helmet

Replace your helmet after any crash or hard knock, even if you cannot see damage, as the foam is designed to compress once. Also replace it if the shell is cracked, the foam is dented or the straps and buckle are worn.

Road Bike Helmet FAQs

What makes a road helmet different?

Road helmets are lighter and better ventilated than most other helmets, with a shape designed for a forward cycling position and faster speeds.

Is a more expensive helmet safer?

Every helmet we sell meets Australia's mandatory safety standard. Higher priced helmets usually add rotational impact protection, less weight, more ventilation and a better fit system.

What is Spherical MIPS?

It is a version of MIPS built into the helmet, where the outer shell can rotate around the inner liner like a ball and socket to reduce rotational forces in an angled impact.

Can I wear a road helmet for gravel or commuting?

Yes. Many of our road helmets are also listed in our gravel and commuter helmets, as they suit all types of cycling on sealed and smooth unsealed roads.

When should I replace my road helmet?

After any crash or hard knock, even if there is no visible damage, and whenever the shell, foam or straps are damaged or worn.
