KBC or Bell a good motorcycle helmet brand?

Jan 28, 2007 by iX | Posted in Motorcycles

Im in the sell for a full-face street motorcycle helmet and i found a pretty nice, black KBC helmet today for $100 but i see all these others from brands such as Shoei effective for $200-$300. Is KBC considered a good brand? Then there's the Bell ones from Walmart for about $80... what about those? I skilled in people always say "you get what you pay for" but as a grad student, i cant pay much haha thanks in advance for your ease!

KBC, though comparatively inexpensive, are generally good helmets. Bell is one of the oldest manufacturers of motorcycle and automobile racing helmets in continuation, and has always put out a good product. HJC also makes good quality helmets at a reasonable price. One of the important motorcycle magazines ran some extensive tests on a large number of helmets from almost all the manufacturers about a year ago (or less), and the results were, to say the least, fascinating. It seems that some of the least expensive helmets received the highest marks for protection (I don't remember which brands, casual).

I don't believe in shorting myself on protection while riding, especially for a helmet. That being said, I have one of the Bell full-face helmets sold by Wal-Mart. It fits me well, a very respected factor for both comfort and protection. It is DOT approved, but not Snell 2000 approved (whether or not it would meet the Snell standards, I cannot say, I do surmise that the manufacturer did not submit it to the Snell Foundation's testing due to expenses associated with that testing, remarkably in light of the low price it can be obtained for. My other helmet is a 3/4 HJC CL-31, which is both DOT and Snell approved, but I feel that the full-countenance offers greater protection. I applaud your decision to buy and wear a helmet (don't forget the other gear - boots, gloves, jacket, pants, etc.). Concerning helmets, it is very important to try them on before purchase and check for both comfort and a close fit, without being able to "stun" or move the helmet much without your head moving with it. Different manufacturers (and even different helmet models within the same manufacturer's lines) often fit differently, as administrator shapes vary, as do helmet shapes.
