An ECE 22.06 modular motorcycle helmet combines the shape of a full-face helmet with a flip-up chin piece. This is practical for commuting, refuelling or making short stops. However, not every flip-up motorcycle helmet is automatically suitable for your head, riding style or everyday use.
Many buyers focus mainly on colour and price, but then run into the same problems: the wrong size, an awkward visor or a Bluetooth system that does not fit properly. With these checkpoints, you can compare modular motorcycle helmets based on the features that really matter in the Netherlands.
Sizes vary by brand, model and fit. A size M helmet may fit differently from one model to another. Measure your head circumference with a soft tape measure, holding it horizontally a few centimetres above your eyebrows.
For example, the MY 935 size chart states:
The MY 936 size chart is slightly different: XS starts at 54–55 cm, while XXL is listed for 61–62 cm. Always check the chart for the product variant you have selected. A helmet that is too loose can shift while riding; one that is too tight can become uncomfortable over time.
An ECE 22.06 motorcycle helmet refers to the current European homologation standard for motorcycle helmets. When buying, do not just look for the word ECE in the title. Also check the certification information, product description and marking on the helmet.
For the models below, the product information states ECE R 22.06 approval. When you receive the helmet, check that the marking and documentation match the product information. A marketing term shown in an image is not a substitute for checking the official helmet marking.
A motorcycle helmet with a sun visor can be useful when the sun is low, but the internal visor does not replace a good clear outer visor. A motorcycle helmet with a dual visor generally consists of an outer shield and an internal sun visor. According to the MY 935 product description, the visor blocks 99% of UV radiation. This is a claim made in the product information and not an independently verified result.
Also pay attention to Bluetooth. According to its description, the MY 935 has a reserved space beneath the chin pads for fitting an intercom headset. This does not mean that Bluetooth electronics are included. Check that the system you want to use is compatible with the helmet in terms of dimensions and controls.
The models in this selection are described as modular helmets with a hard outer shell made from ABS and a high-density inner layer made from EPS. ABS is a commonly used plastic for helmet shells, while EPS is used as an energy-absorbing inner structure. These materials alone do not tell you everything about fit or comfort, so also consider the fastening system, ventilation and inner lining.
The models mentioned have an oval shape and a buckle fastening. A buckle is easy to adjust, but after fastening it, check that the strap sits comfortably beneath your chin and cannot twist.
Choose according to how you intend to use the helmet:
Before using the helmet for the first time, check that the protective film has been removed from both the main visor and sun visor. The MY 935 product information specifically mentions this as part of the installation process.
A removable, washable inner lining makes maintenance easier. According to its product description, the MY 936 comes with this type of lining. The MY 935 is listed as having a comfortable inner lining, but check the exact care instructions on the product page.
Ideally, try a helmet on indoors for a while. The lining should fit snugly without creating painful pressure points. Gently move your head from side to side: the helmet should not shift on its own. Do not wear a thick hat when trying it on, as this can distort your assessment of the size.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
It can be, provided the helmet fits properly and the stated homologation matches the marking on the product. The flip-up chin piece is useful for making short stops. If you ride with the chin piece raised, check the manufacturer’s instructions and local traffic regulations.
Its lifespan depends on wear, impacts, sunlight, maintenance and how often you wear it. Replace a helmet after a fall or if it shows visible damage. Regularly check the EPS layer, fastening system, lining and visor. Even without visible damage, ageing materials may be a reason to consider replacing your helmet.
No. Bluetooth-ready usually means that there is space for a headset, not that every system will fit. Check the dimensions of the speakers, microphone and controls. For the MY 935, the product information states that there is reserved space beneath both chin pads; the intercom itself is not included.
