What Is a BMX Helmet?

BMX helmets are specifically crafted to protect your head for any style of BMX riding. These helmets are often more durable than other types, designed to endure the rigors of freestyle BMX riding.

Wearing a BMX helmet is crucial when riding a BMX. It should be one of the first pieces of protective gear you purchase and should be worn every time you ride. Not only do BMX bike helmets safeguard your head, but they also provide extra confidence regardless of your riding style. To ensure safety, it’s important to wear a helmet that fits tightly and snugly.

How Do I Choose a BMX Helmet?

The type of helmet you choose depends on your BMX riding style. The most common types of BMX helmets are the open face and the full face. Open face helmets feature a classic skate design and are most commonly used for freestyle BMX. Their sleek, cool designs make them popular for a variety of other sports as well. Their hard shell design results in a helmet that is both durable and lightweight.

BMX full face helmets offer more protection than open face helmets but are generally heavier and more expensive. These helmets are typically used for Race BMX and protect both the face and the head.
