Modular Helmets
Modular helmets give you full face protection with a chin bar that flips up at the lights or the toll booth. Certified to ECE 22.06, built for riders who want convenience without giving up coverage.
A modular, or flip-up, helmet works like a full-face for the ride and opens like an open-face the moment you stop. That is worth a lot on a commute with tolls, drive-thrus and a lot of stop-start traffic. Every one here is certified to ECE 22.06, so the protection does not get compromised for the convenience.
Check the locking mechanism before you buy. A good modular locks the chin bar solidly in the closed position, the same as a full-face, and only releases with a deliberate action. We recommend riders confirm this on the product page, then compare against full-face above if you want the lightest, quietest option for pure highway riding.
Q: Is a modular helmet as safe as a full-face?
A: A modular helmet certified to ECE 22.06 with a solid chin-bar lock gives you full-face level coverage. Check the lock engages fully in the closed position before you ride.
Q: Who is a modular helmet best for?
A: Commuters dealing with tolls and stop-start traffic who want to flip the chin bar up at a stop without removing the whole helmet.
