We recently shared with you an article about the equipment for motorbike. Today (August 2024), the helmet is the only mandatory element to go on a bike, although there are many other very recommended elements, as we explained. Today, we want to share with you all the information you need about the hull types to know the characteristics of each and to be able to choose the best for you and your driving.
Type of hull
The General Circulation Regulation requires the use of approved or certified protective helmets for all kinds of motorists, both in and out of town. The use of the helmet is required for both drivers and passengers of motorcycles, three-wheel and quadricycle vehicles, cyclomotors and quads.
In addition to being mandatory, the helmet is the best protection in case of accident. To wear it reduces the chances of death by 30% and the chances of severe head injury by 40%.
Now, since there are different types of helmet, you may consider which of them to choose. Keep reading.
There are five types of helmet:
1. Whole helmets
It's the most common kind of helmet, but also the one that provides the most protectionthe most Sure.. They are composed of one piece and are not removable. They protect the whole face and chin.
From inXur We'll always recommend the whole helmet Because it's the safest. In addition, it also better isolates you from noise and air.
2. Modular helmet
It also offers a high level of protection, but not as much as the integral hull. The chin is removable, so you can open it and it would become a kind of jet helmet (which we will see later). Unallowed to move with open chin.
They are heavier than the whole hull.

3. Jet helmet
They offer a low level of protection. They protect the neck and ears, but not the face. Even if they carry a screen in the face area, it does not resist strong impacts.
Jet helmets are often the most common in town, especially for scooters. They are small and light, with a nice urban design, but not enough protection.
4. Retro and calimero helmet
They are very basic helmets with a very low level of protection. They don't cover the face or the neck. And they're not recommended at all. They can be very comfortable to use (especially when getting on and off) and very nice in an aesthetic way, but do not provide an adequate level of safety. In the case of the calimero helmet, it's not even a legal helmet.
Since inXur we'll never recommend you wear a helmet like this.
5. Casco Off Road
They are helmets used mainly for pilot circuits: trial, enduro and motocross. They are specifically designed for the practice of motor sport, so they are very safe.
They offer a wide field of vision and good ventilation but you are indicated for motor sport, not for road travel, where the best option are the whole helmets.
As you see, although there are different types of helmet, some offer greater safety than others. Your own safety is at stake, so we recommend you choose safer helmets and not aesthetics.
