A modular helmet combines the shape of a full-face motorcycle helmet with a flip-up chin bar. This is handy for commuting, refuelling or making short stops. However, not every flip-up motorcycle helmet is equally suited to daily use. The wrong size, an unclear certification mark or a fragile visor can quickly reduce comfort and practicality.
In this guide, you'll discover what to look for when choosing an ECE 22.06 modular motorcycle helmet, which pitfalls are often overlooked, and which type best suits your needs.
A matt finish, dark colour or sporty design says little about fit and protection. Always check the technical details, such as the type of outer shell, the EPS inner lining, the fastening system and the stated ECE approval. An ABS motorcycle helmet can be a practical choice, but ABS is just one part of the overall design.
A helmet that feels comfortably loose when you try it on can shift while you're riding. This creates pressure in some areas and a less stable fit. So, measure your head circumference first with a soft tape measure, roughly above the eyebrows and around the widest part of the back of your head.
Also pay attention to the shape. The product information for the models below mentions an oval fit. That doesn't automatically suit every head shape.
A built-in sun visor is practical in changing weather, but check that the visor moves smoothly and doesn't linger in your field of vision. For the MY 935, the product description states that the dual visor blocks 99% of UV radiation according to the brand or product information. This is a claim from the product information, not an independently verified performance. Therefore, check the current specifications and use the visor according to the instructions.
A helmet with ECE 22.06 is intended for use under the European safety standard for motorcycle helmets. When purchasing, check that the approval is clearly marked on the helmet, the label or the documentation. The product details for the MY 935 and MY 936 models state ECE R 22.06 approval.
A mention in an online title alone is no reason to skip other information. Also look at the included instructions, model name and size. If you're unsure about the marking or suitability, you can ask the seller for additional information.
According to the product details, the models mentioned have an ABS outer shell and a high-density EPS inner lining. EPS is the foam material inside the helmet. The product description states that this material is designed to absorb impacts. That is a product feature from the stated specifications and not a guarantee of the outcome in an accident.
Also look out for:
According to the product information, the MY 936 is available from XS to XXL, with the following circumferences:
The MY 935 uses a slightly different size range:
Measure your head before ordering and compare the result with the table for your chosen model. A motorcycle helmet for a scooter or motorbike should fit snugly without causing painful pressure points. The lining may feel a bit tight when new; the material can give slightly over time.
Why this fits the profile: This model is aimed at daily riding with a built-in sun visor. According to the product information, size M is suitable for a head circumference of 57–58 cm.
The product details state ECE R 22.06, an ABS shell and multiple sizes. This means you don't have to select based solely on looks or price.
Integrated inner visor, removable and washable lining, ABS outer shell and sizes from XS to XXL.
Why this fits the profile: The combination of a flip-up design, dual visor and reserved Bluetooth space appeals to riders who value comfort and extra functionality.
The product description specifies ECE R 22.06, ABS, high-density EPS and a dual visor construction. Also check these details on the packaging and helmet.
Dual visor, Bluetooth space under the cheek pads, ABS shell and sizes from XS to XXL.
Why this fits the profile: According to the product information, size XXL is intended for a head circumference of 63–64 cm. The model is suitable for riders who cover many miles and want to be able to fit a communication system.
The size is specifically linked to a head circumference. This helps prevent a large helmet from being chosen based on feel alone.
Dual visor, Bluetooth space, ABS shell, EPS inner lining and available sizes up to XXL.
We've put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the current European safety regulations.
Clean the lining regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions. A removable and washable lining makes this easier. Do not use harsh cleaning products on the visor, and check the operation of the flip-up mechanism, the chin strap and the visor lock.
Replace a helmet after a hard impact, even if there is little visible damage on the outside. Also periodically check for cracks, loose parts and a worn inner lining. The actual lifespan depends on use, storage, maintenance and any damage.
Yes, a modular helmet can be used on a scooter, moped or motorbike if the model is suitable for your vehicle and has the required approval. Check the ECE marking, size and fastening before purchasing. Ride with the chin bar closed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Use a soft tape measure and measure horizontally around the head, above the eyebrows and over the widest part of the back of the head. Compare the measurement with the size chart for the specific model. The size distribution of a MY 935 can differ from that of a MY 936, especially for XS and XXL.
A dual visor typically consists of a clear outer visor and an additional sun visor on the inside. A motorcycle helmet with a sun visor can therefore be practical in alternating sunlight and shade. Always check that the visor moves smoothly, disappears completely from view and, according to the product information, is suitable for your use.
