- Have you ever considered buying a motorcycle helmet from a website like Wish.com, eBay or Aliexpress? Neither have we. We wouldn’t ever dream of riding around with a dodgy helmet from one these websites, but we were very curious as to how well the helmets would perform in a crash test. For this reason we decided to ‘invest’ in some cheap motorcycle helmets from Wish/Alibaba and made an appointment at Arai’s testing facility in the Netherlands to test the helmets according to the official ECE drop test and the DOT penetration test.
Apart from the shocking crash test results there are a couple of other dodgy features that we found on the helmets. In this video we discuss the aspects of the real and fake Arai/AGV helmets. The counterfeit skidlids took two months to arrive and that’s not all.. We ordered 5 different helmets in total and ended up receiving only 2 of them.
Are you curious about helmet visors falling off constantly? Inner shells consisting of two separate parts? DGL helmets (or DQL helmets) disguised as AGV helmets? Then what are you waiting for? Get stuck into this video and let us show you what to look out for in fake and dangerous motorcycle helmets.

Whoever is selling those fake helmets needs to go to jail. Selling fake helmets and claiming they have passed safety tests is just so wrong
If someone bought a helmet for protecting the head, it's ok, because there's nothing to protect there.
Very cool that you were able to properly test the fakes. I love my Arai XD-4 and wouldn't want a fake anywhere near me.
COME ON EVERYBODY "SAY NO TO FAKE HELMET"
I recently watched a video about a guy reviewing the "DGL"(agv knock-off) Pista helmet, and the comments were filled with people saying the helmet looked cool and asking where can they buy it, god people are stupid when it comes to helmets
Another great helmet review Ritchie, just shows how important it is to buy your helmets from a reputable dealer, well done.
There’s a ton of fake Shoei helmets floating around. What’s unreal is they still are trying to charge around $400USD. If it’s too good to be true IT IS!
Have a friend who used a fake Arai helmet and he paid the price after a 20mph accident. Now in a wheelchair with a speech synthesiser, similar to what the late Prof. Stephen Hawking used.
There is one rule of thumb that always applies: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
To be fair the people who buy the fake helmets have nothing in they skull to save anyway so it makes sense for them.😂
Thank you for this video, thank you for an amazing content and education! Keep it up!
Fantastic video! I have seen a few videos about counterfeit gear, but this stands out as you went to an actual test centre and put those helmets through official style tests!
Thank you for this video. I am a new rider, and really liked the good looking graphics from a manufacturer that unfortunately I couldn't find details about anywhere on any major motorcycling type websites such as cycle gear, revzilla, etc. While looking I found this video, and you have definitely convinced me to just go ahead and order from a reputable source. It is just unfortunate that they don't offer a wider variety of good looking graphical designs, but me living is probably better than me looking good dead lol
Ritchie, thanks for another great video! What is that banging song at
Splendid quality video, unlike those fake helmets!
Awesome review! Have you guys ever tested the ILM modular helmets?
Very good and useful video. Thank you
Very informative 😁
The only way I buy gear is from Cycle Gear, as that is the only motorcycle gear and parts store in and near me in Ga. I only buy name brand Shoei as it is the only one that fits my medium oval head. I don’t care about the $700 plus price tag. My head is way too important. Just like my gear, I bought the KLIM Kodiak jacket and pants for $1800. I only buy high and reputable quality.
The ECE 22.05 requires no "Shell Penetration Test" like DOT or SNELL - which of course you know.
