What Is a BMX Helmet?

BMX helmets are specifically crafted to protect your head, regardless of your BMX riding style. These helmets are often more robust than other types, designed to endure the rigors of freestyle BMX riding.

Wearing a BMX helmet is crucial when riding a BMX. It should be one of the first pieces of protective gear you purchase and should be worn every time you ride. BMX bike helmets not only safeguard your head but also boost your confidence, no matter your riding style. For optimal safety, ensure your helmet fits tightly and snugly.

How Do I Choose a BMX Helmet?

The type of helmet you should wear depends on your BMX riding style. The most common types of BMX helmets are open face and full face. Open face helmets, designed with a classic skate look, are mostly used for freestyle BMX. Their cool, sleek designs make them popular for various other sports. Their hard shell construction results in a durable and lightweight helmet.

BMX full face helmets offer more protection than open face helmets but are generally heavier and more expensive. These helmets are typically used for Race BMX, providing protection for both the face and the head.
