i ride with a dirtbike helmet its awesome and most of them are dot approved, saved my life, if i wouldve had a half helmet i wouldve been hurting way worse, cant breath in a full face
Great video very informative! I have question cause I have a back and neck problem and and dont have 400$ to spend on a carbon helmet ! I’ve been thinking about buying a cross helmet since they are lighter and my question goes: is it fine to wear it in the highway , the wind sound might be annoying at a certain speed no?
You don't have to buy inexpensive carbon fiber to get a very lightweight helmet there are some very good fiberglass and fiberglass mix helmets on the market that are quite light. Concerning your question about wind speed that's a good point depending upon two main factors the speed you will be traveling and the duration. An off road helmet at high speed for long distance might not be the best option for you. But at lower speed or for shorter distances it might be ideal. A pair of goggles rather than sunglasses will be better at higher speed. Generally I am riding between 30 and 60 miles an hour when I'm wearing an off road helmet on the street for any length of time. For short ride speeds up to 80 miles an hour wearing goggles instead of sunglasses is fine for me but I wouldn't ride like that for more than two or three hours at most. Another option that would give you the best of both worlds is an adventure touring helmet which has many of the benefits of an off-road helmet but has a quality functioning phase shield just like any street home. I have three AGV AX9 adventure touring helmets because I like this style so much.
@@AGV_Sport thank you so much for being so responsive ! 🙏🏼 yes I have been looking at the LS2 pioneer mx 436 ( the price is very good for an entry level adv helmet) and the scorpion vx -16( with goggles) . I just can’t make my mind since i would be doing 60/80 for 3 to 4 hours
I always have headphones or ear plugs in regardless of the helmet I wear. My visor catches the wind tho. So I'm thinking about taking it off my mx helmet for highway use

imo a full face doesn't give you much more protection than a dirtbike helmet rather the same tbh
TYVM!
Does the sun visor get annoying if you ride fast?
At real speeds, yes. Around town, negligible. You can always remove it.
Bugs getting into your MX helmet on the road??
I think enduro helmets are very cool and then, they are safe
I agree 100% Michael
