A modular motorcycle helmet with sun visor combines the protection of a full-face helmet with the convenience of a flip-up chin bar. This is useful for commuting, touring and rides where the light changes quickly. However, not all modular helmets are the same. A low price or a long list of features means little if the size is wrong, the inner lining cannot be cleaned or the certification information is unclear.
So, before buying a flip-up motorcycle helmet, watch out for these common pitfalls.
With some helmets, ‘dual visor’ means a clear external visor with an internal sun visor. With other models, the description refers only to two visor components. So, check that the sun visor is actually integrated on the inside and operated using a sliding mechanism.
The MY 935 lists a dual visor and 99 per cent UV filtering according to the product description. The MY 936 is described as a full-face helmet with an integrated sun visor. These statements come from the manufacturer’s product information; they are not independent performance claims.
Helmet sizing varies from one model to another. Measure your head circumference with a flexible tape measure, roughly above your eyebrows and around the widest part of the back of your head. The MY 935 size range runs from XS 53–54 cm to XXL 63–64 cm. For the MY 936, the stated range starts at XS 54–55 cm and ends at XXL 61–62 cm.
A well-fitting helmet should feel secure all around without creating sharp pressure points. It should not move independently when you move your head. Also check the shape: both MY models are listed as having an oval fit, but the actual experience may vary from one head to another.
A motorcycle helmet with Bluetooth preparation does not automatically include a Bluetooth intercom. According to the product details, the MY 935 has a reserved space beneath the cheek pads for installing a headset. This may make installation easier, but the battery, speakers and controls are not included. Check the dimensions and compatibility of your preferred intercom in advance.
When looking for a new helmet, seek clear information about ECE R 22.06. This European type approval refers to a current standard for motorcycle helmets. The product pages for the MY 935 and MY 936 list ECE R 22.06 as the certification. On delivery, check that the helmet has the appropriate approval label and accompanying documentation.
A certification mark is no substitute for a good fit. A certified helmet that is too loose is still the wrong purchase for your head.
An ABS motorcycle helmet has an outer shell made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. Both MY models list ABS as the material and a high-density EPS inner layer. EPS is the foam material inside the helmet that can help absorb energy in an impact. The product description mentions this as a design feature; it should not be interpreted as a guarantee against injury.
Also check the fastening system. According to the technical details, the models use a buckle. When trying the helmet on, check that the strap is easy to adjust and stays flat beneath your chin.
For everyday use, a removable and washable lining is practical. The MY 936 lists a removable, washable inner lining. The MY 935 is described as having a comfortable inner lining, but check the product page to confirm that the version you choose offers the same cleaning options.
Also look out for:
Why it suits this profile: For anyone looking for one helmet for everyday riding without wanting to carry separate sunglasses or a dark visor. Size M is stated for 57–58 cm.
The product description clearly identifies the integrated internal visor. However, check the size and operation yourself before ordering.
ECE R 22.06 according to the product details, ABS shell, EPS lining, matte finish and washable inner lining.
Why it suits this profile: For riders who value a matte motorcycle helmet, a flip-up design and preparation for communications equipment.
The Bluetooth slot is described as preparation, not as a built-in system. This makes it clear in advance that a headset is required separately.
ECE R 22.06 according to the listing, ABS shell, dual visor and sizes from XS to XXL with an oval shape.
Why it suits this profile: For long rides and regular use where easy maintenance, clear vision and an adjustable fit are important. XL is stated for 60–61 cm.
The removable and washable lining means that everyday use does not automatically result in an interior that is difficult to maintain.
Integrated sun visor, washable inner lining, high-density EPS and ECE R 22.06 according to the product information.
Use this checklist before ordering:
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.
That depends on your route, fit and how you use the chin bar. A modular helmet offers flexibility for short stops and everyday use. While riding, keep the chin bar and visor in the position permitted according to the instructions. Always check the requirements for the specific model.
Its lifespan depends on use, storage, maintenance and any impacts. UV light, heat, sweat and wear can affect the materials over time. Regularly check the EPS lining, fastening system, visors and outer shell. Replace the helmet immediately after an accident or hard fall.
Maintenance mainly involves cleaning the outer shell and visors and washing the inner lining if permitted by the instructions. An integrated sun visor does not need to be carried separately, but its mechanism should remain clean and operate smoothly. Only use products suitable for helmet visors and avoid harsh cleaning agents.
