A motorcycle helmet has to fit: too big and it shifts, too small and it starts to press after half an hour. That is why it pays to buy your motorcycle helmet in person in Zurich. At Honda Motorrad Zürich in Volketswil you try on different helmets, we measure your head circumference and check the fit.
Whether it is a motorbike helmet for your daily ride, a jet helmet for your scooter or a motocross helmet for off-road riding: we show you the right models and advise women and men alike.
Good to know: When you buy a motorbike, your motorcycle clothing can be included in the motorcycle leasing.
In our shop you will find helmets from Arai and Alpinestars. Virtually all other brands are available on request – usually within a short time.
To go with your helmet, we have the complete gear: buy motorcycle clothing – from jackets, trousers and gloves to boots.
A full face helmet completely encloses your head and chin and offers the most comprehensive protection. It is the first choice for sport riding, touring and motorway journeys.
On a modular helmet the chin bar flips up – handy when you stop, at the petrol station or if you wear glasses. It is popular with touring riders.
A jet helmet leaves your face open and is light and airy. It suits a scooter, motor scooter and retro motorcycle – and also works as a scooter helmet for the city.
Motocross helmets have a peak and a chin bar that extends well forward, and they are worn with motocross goggles. They are made for motocross and enduro.
Measure your head circumference about one centimetre above your eyebrows. As a guide: XS 53–54 cm, S 55–56 cm, M 57–58 cm, L 59–60 cm, XL 61–62 cm, XXL 63–64 cm. The fit differs from brand to brand – so always try it on.
