CHOOSING THE RIGHT HELMET

Graphics by Kito Huan
Text by Wahid Ooi Abdullah

There are many types of helmets out there and choosing the one can be an understandably daunting task (budgets notwithstanding). However, motorcycle helmets are basically divided into the few basic types, with each serving a different segment. So choose one depending on your intended usage. For example, don’t choose an MX helmet if you only ride in dirt once a month then ride on the road for the rest of the times. You should get one road helmet and another MX helmet in this case.

Also bear in mind that helmets generally have a 5-year lifetime. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never dropped it or involved in an accident.

Lastly, make sure your helmet is in good condition. Wearing a bad helmet defeats the purpose of protecting your head.

Wahid Ooi Abdullah

Wahid's lust for motorcycles was spurred on by his late-Dad's love for his Lambretta on which he courted, married his mother, and took baby Wahid riding on it. He has since worked in the motorcycle and automotive industry for many years, before taking up riding courses and testing many, many motorcycles since becoming a motojournalist. Wahid likes to see things differently. What can you say about a guy who sees a road safety message in AC/DC's "Highway to Hell."
