When it comes to buying a helmet for bike racing, we know that speed, protection, and style are at the forefront of your mind. Whether you’re a road racer, an avid mountain biker, a BMX rider, or a trail rider, we’ve got the right helmet to help you look and feel the part while you push yourself and your bike to the limits.
Road Racing
When it comes to buying a road racing helmet, we know that getting the most aerodynamic lid is important to increase your watts, cut through the air, and get the most speed possible to beat the competition.
Halfords Advanced Road Helmet
The Halfords Advanced Road Helmet is an excellent option for cyclists who are new to road biking and are looking for a reliable lid that balances aerodynamics and ventilation to deliver a helmet that provides speed while keeping your head cool. It features an adjustable fit system, so comfort is key with this helmet, as well as a Fidlock magnetic clasp that removes the hassle of fiddly buckling up – giving you maximum time on the road.
Lazer Vento Kineticore Helmet
Available in three sizes and three cool colour designs, the Lazer Vento Kineticore Helmet is a lightweight, aerodynamic helmet engineered to go faster for riders who want more than just marginal gains. The Vento Kineticore provides superior comfort thanks to the Lazer ScrollSys adjustment system, which lets you alter the fit while you’re on the move – so as you get hot and sweaty, you can adjust this helmet to your changing state when you’re pushing hard on the pedals.
For extra peace of mind this helmet includes Kineticore technology; unique foam blocks called controlled crumple zones fold under impact and absorb energy before it reaches your head to keep you protected in the event of a fall.
To keep your head cool, this helmet includes built-in air vents that channel cool air through the back of the helmet and expel the warm air that’s built up as you’ve worked up a sweat.
Abus Gamechanger Helmet
The Abus Gamechanger Helmet is a game-changer for road racing, making every second count. This Abus helmet features a wide rear and an aerodynamic shape to optimise airflow. It also has a special grid structure that adapts to different speeds, side angles, and inclinations – so however far you’re travelling, and however many hills you’ve got to climb, you’ll be able to tackle every challenge with confidence, knowing you’ll remain aerodynamic and quick all the way to the finish.
Time Trailing
If you’re time-trailing, we know that every second counts – especially if you’re part of a cycling club and looking to score as many points across a season as possible for that chance of a club trophy.
Lazer Volante Kineticore Helmet
The Lazer Volante Kineticore Helmet is Lazer’s fastest-ever helmet – so it’s a no-brainer for serious time trial riders. It’s been wind tunnel tested and proven to be effective in races. This helmet has been shaped by air and speed to ensure that you glide seamlessly through the air to the finish line.
The long tail allows the rear of the helmet to be tucked neatly between your shoulders to provide exceptional aerodynamics, and the magnetic smoked anti-scratch front lens helps reduce drag and keep your eyes protected. The tried and tested Advanced TurnSys dial locks your helmet with a secure and comfortable fit, while aerated padding allows for maximum airflow while you’re pushing for your next personal best.
Abus Gamechanger TT Helmet
The Abus Gamechanger TT Helmet is much like its road-racing counterpart, except this helmet has been upgraded for extra speed – plus, it’s excellent for track cycling too. It’s extra lightweight, which is perfect for those who are looking to keep their setup as light as possible, and it also features forced air-cooling technology – a sophisticated ventilation system that keeps your head from getting too toasty while you’re pushing down on the pedals.
Abus knows that when you start to perspire, straps can become irritating to the skin, which is why they’ve designed flow straps – a style of aerodynamic, flutter-free, and skin-friendly strap profile.
BMX Riding
BMX riding is extra risky, so we know that you need to wear a helmet that makes you feel safe while you’re performing bunny hops and wheelies around the BMX park. Whether you’re riding a bike, skateboard, or even wearing roller skates – it’s important to be fully protected.
Halfords Skate Helmet
The Halfords Essential Skate Helmet is a robust and stylish helmet with a sleek black design, made to offer maximum protection for skaters, cyclists, and riders of all types.
Featuring a tough ABS shell, this helmet is built to withstand impact while keeping your head safe during every ride or trick. Its sleek design ensures both durability and comfort, making it the perfect choice for those who need reliable headgear without compromising on style.
Triple 8 Sweatsaver Helmet
The Triple 8 Sweatsaver Helmet takes its name from the Sweatsaver liner, which keeps you dry and comfortable when you’re working up a sweat. The ventilation holes encourage airflow while the hard shell and EPS foam lining keep you well protected. Plus, the classy skate design makes this helmet a stylish choice to wear on your next trip to the BMX park.
Mountain Biking
When it comes to mountain and trail riding, you want 360-degree protection to ensure you’re fully covered when you’re flying down steep descents.
Halfords Advanced MTB Helmet
Built for MTB trails, the Halfords Advanced MTB Helmet balances style and protection. This helmet is a great training option for those competing in MTB events. Built by Halfords to the highest premium quality finish, this helmet features an adjustable visor that keeps the sun and rain off your face – perfect for all-year-round visits to your favourite trail centres. So, if you’re looking for a great starter or trainer lid, this helmet is an excellent option.
Lazer Coyote Kineticore Helmet
For advanced MTB riders tackling more technical terrain, this Lazer Coyote lid features an integrated visor that can quickly be pushed up or down to keep sun, rain, and low-hanging branches out of your face, while the no-slip grip on the shell secures your goggles in place.
The magnetic buckle makes it easy to strap in and out of this helmet with one hand and gloves on, so your hands can stay warm. This is a great all-weather helmet, featuring LED light compatibility via the Velcro mount to ensure you can see the trail ahead even in the darker months of the year.
