You know how important it is to buy the right helmet. Not only a new motorcycle helmet that meets all the legal standards, but one that fits you.
That’s why you should always try on a range of helmets in your local dealer, and check it’s not going to move around or leave a mark on your forehead by being too tight. But you never really know what a helmet will be like until you’re riding.

So Arai are offering the chance to test their RX-7 GP or Quantum helmets in action before you buy. In 23 selected dealers you can get a helmet fitted and then try it in action.

For full details and a list of dealers, see Arai’s website.

Agreed! motorcycle helmet fittings should be considered a necessity for anyone buying a motorcycle.

Motorcycle riders and dealers need to remember that a helmet is not just another motorcycle accessory.

At last - the ONLY way to buy a helmet finally exists.

In a world where we all have safety shoved down our throats aka speed, awareness etc - no one ever cared that the basic safety device of a hemlet - which we must wear by law - doent actually fit in most cases.

All dealers/manufacturers should provide a demo unit in each size that you can try before you buy....you can with a bike so why not a helmet?

Now let the competition begin...
