Cheap motorcycle helmets
I see many customers come in the shop wanting a cheap motorcycle helmet. I do my best to explain to them to the difference between a cheap helmet and the more high end motorcycle helmets. When I say cheap I'm talking people who want to spend $99 to save their life.
Are all motorcycle helmets created equal?
No, they arent. I believe the bare minum you should spend on a helmet to be $200 and spend it on a name brand. Most of the helmets in that price range offer good protection as well as a few other features. I personally wont wear anything sub $400.
The more you spend doesnt always mean more or better protection but it does mean more comfort and more features. The cheap motorcycle helmets usually have harsh liners, a generic fit and poor venting. Add that to poor lens clarity and lots of wind noise and you have a $99 helmet that you wont wear because it's an uncomfortable sweatbox.
Spend the money, step up to a high quality, slightly more expensive helmet and you'll find that you wont notice your wearing it. You will be comfortable, you will be cool from the better venting and you will be far safer.
Check out www.trackstar1.com for all of your motorcycle helmet needs, but you will notice we dont carry any cheap motorcycle helmets.

Bell Star motorcycle helmet review
I've worn all of the brands of motorcycle helmets in the last 3 years. I really like the Arai Corsair V, the Shoei RF1100 and both the Bell Star and Bell RS-1. Personally I feel the Arai Corsair V is a little bit out of reach for price, not that my head isnt worth $900 but if I can get equal protection for less I will.
The Shoei RF1100 is amazingly comfortable and vents very well. It's a little heavy and the spoiler on the back of the helmet would catch on the neck of my race suit. Loved the helmet on the street, it just didnt work for me on the track.
The Bell Star is VERY light weight. It has a carbon fiber build and the graphics are excellent. The venting is in line with the Arai and Shoei with the wind noise level being a little higher. It doesnt matter to me, I wear ear plugs. The helmet has a high cut so it doesnt get caught up on my suit. The eye port is large and offers excellent vision. The highlight is the availability of the SolFX Transitions shield for the helmet. Having an auto tinting shield for my helmet is icing on the cake.
Overall you cant go wrong on any of the 3, it comes down to fit and graphics.
Dont forget you can get your next Arai, Shoei ar Bell motorcycle helmet at www.trackstar1.com at a fantastic price with excellent customer service.
