Best Bike Helmet - 2024 Crash Test Winner!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- I found the bike helmet that provides maximum protection during a bike accident. The Giro Aries Spherical bike helmet provided the best protection a bike rider can get from concussions as a result of a lateral fall. The info in this video is based on a 2024 Virginia Tech test of bike helmets and head impact with terrain associated with a fall while riding a bike.
I bought two bike helmets when I recently purchased an e-bike and in this video I show you which one I hope to wear if I'm ever involved in a bicycle accident.

Nice, I've been waiting for the new tests!
Thanks for your comment! I felt I was fortunate to come across the test results - they provided more info than I could find on Amazon & Reddit where people only said how much they liked one helmet or the other.
Thanks again for commenting!! 🙏🏻😊🏆
@@animaldonut absolutely! Anything is usually better than nothing and choice-supportive bias is a real thing. It's also worth remembering that helmets are "one time use" and after a couple of years they need replacing regardless :)
Bought myself a GIRO BEXLEY for my Stromer ST7 speedpedelec. The GIRO BEXLEY has led lights at the back, it's reflective on both sides and it has ear covers the wil help reduce wind noise.
Sounds like you got a winning helmet!!! 🏆🤩👍🏻
75$ helmet only had foam and plastics liner so it won't bounce around on your head. 300$ has what you need for your safety.
Empack is above ear and back of head 55% area from the bottom of helmet to top center. The 300$ one fits you best.
Hi and thanks for the feedback!! I kept the $300 one because the fit is perfect. I have never had such a good fit: thanks for your feedback.
The only thing that changed is Amazon had a sale and the $300 one was $240 and in a nice blue color so I returned the more expensive one and got same protection with blue helmet! I bought some red and yellow reflective tape for added visibility in day and headlight reflection at night.
Thanks so much for your comment. As you can see I really care about brain / head protection and I’m happy you spent the time to let me know you liked the $300 model too. Do you bike a lot? Road bike, mountain or E-bike? What country are you in?
Thanks again for your comment!! 🙏🏻😊🏆
@animaldonut sir, you are quite welcome. Yes, I am a full-time bike security officer, and I do ride road bikes on my off days. I think you made a good choice on your purchase 300$ before I got big into riding. I used to say what the heck does it do ? Know I'm just like, does it fit? Is it breathable? Does it look like I have a mellon on my head or a helmet. The helmet I wear is a Cannondale road bike helmet it doesn't have all the nooks and crannies, but it has mips and fits and protects my head. And it has proven that several times.
@@grimispotato245 wow thank you for telling me about your uses. As a bike security officer your bike and helmet are a part of your job. It makes sense to own quality because you are on that bike hours a day.
When you said your helmet has proven it protects your head several times, have you fallen off your bike or been in a bike or car accident where you needed the helmet as protection? If so, can you share any info about whether the mips system helped protect you from concussion or head injury?
Your comments are very much appreciated, sir. I made this video not knowing who would find it - and you are the perfect person! Thank you again!!
@animaldonut oh no ! Sadly, no, the helmets that were supplied by my job got dumped. They were ugly unsafe and nasty, and the bike's were heavy and also unsafe. My bike basically all my gear and bike stuff all my own except the uniform.
Oh, by the way, you mentioned hi visibility. Oh yes, I'm all for that. I use bubble lites one blink the other constantly on. I wear a full reflective vest, and my backpack has reflective tape. Sadly, it's not sold anymore.
OK, so what bike do you ride?
It’s a new E-Bike! It’s called Oraimo Monster 100. I have just started riding it and it’s fantastic.
Easy to ride, makes hills a breeze. Here’s the video with me opening the box last week: ua-cam.com/video/mqId-DTTPn8/v-deo.htmlsi=z2V8F3-gRbeQadng
The Virginia Tech Rating is nothing new for us serious influenced and media overdosed cyclists. The Mips-System either.
Sure, I can understand it’s not new to you (though it is to me). Just curious, what kind of helmet do you like / wear. I’m not set on the Giro Aries Spherical and if there’s another helmet you like I’d be interested to know.
Thanks for your comment! 🌟👍🏻😊
