The Best Motorcycle Helmets of 2025

The Best Motorcycle Helmets of 2025

That’s less turbulence for you, meaning less strain on your neck and less wind noise. At this point, I’m used to a really tight fitting helmet. And even if you can’t afford that $$$ helmet, you can at least know what it’s supposed to fit like, so you can find the more affordable option that comes almost as close. Often I found that people who would spend literal hours trying to choose a helmet, is because they never established what the right fit was in the first place. Carbon fibre helmets are not necessarily louder than other types of helmets.

The reason I need and want this fit is because when I had a helmet that was too wide (left to right) I found myself getting a hot spot on the Center of my head, right on the top. The reason for this was because the helmet was resting on my head, not fitting it. The AGV Compact ST E220 is an excellent motorcycle helmet for those who want to ride their motorcycles without any noise. It's tranquil, but it can fog up when the vents are closed. Finally, some Quietest Motorcycle Helmets are available that have a SHARP rating of four stars or more. These helmets typically have acoustic collars or other features that help to reduce the amount of noise emitted from the helmet.

But that might not be the best choice for you, depending on your riding style and needs. The Schuberth C5 is a great modular for touring riders, while the Arai XD-5 has the adventure look and dirt chops. Other reviews on quiet and noise cancelling helmets will shill you junk knockoffs from Chinese manufacturers that just don’t do the job in any sense. This list of noise canceling and quiet helmets is for those of you who don’t want to get pancaked by stupid drivers, or stuff in ear plugs in every time you ride. We measured Noise Isolation by placing a decibel meter close to our rider’s ear. The decibel amount is then displayed live on the decibel meter in the middle.

It’s always interesting to find similarities between helmets from totally different categories, and in this case, they both killed it in our noise isolation test. Alright, let’s find out how the top 4 of the quietest helmets available today performed. The results are going to get very close to one another, and you might be wondering if a decibel difference of 1 or 2 really matters. The HJC RPHA 70 is a popular helmet amongst riders because of its sleek design, comfortable fit, and affordable price. It has an interchangeable interior, ventilated chin bar, high-quality visor system, superior air flow circulation in the upper area compared with other devices in this category. The C4 Pro is the second Schuberth C-series helmet on the list.

The UK’s SHARP rating agency, an independent testing body, gives this construction five out of five stars, which is telling, in our book. Launched in 2024, the AGV K6S ($550) is a stellar upgrade of the K6, one of the most protective and functional options that comes in at a slightly lower price point. The upgraded helmet now has a spoiler on the back, which is a shield that adds protection for occiput in case of a backward collision. Most of us probably want to wear a quiet helmet, but finding one isn’t that easy (which is actually one of the reasons I set up this website - click to find out more - in the first place!). So, we have to compensate for the lack of information by reading professional reviews and users’ opinions on forums, and hope for the best.

Dual-sport riders that move between forested dirt track and pavement will especially appreciate a photochromic option. Or if you want a quieter helmet that still protects your eyes, lose the peak and keep the lens attached. In our experience, Shoei consistently delivers incredibly comfortable helmets. With six helmet sizes and the option to swap internal pads for an even more specialized fit, they continue to shine for overall fit. After hundreds of miles of riding Colorado mountain backroads and highways, we did identify a couple of small areas for improvement.

Coincidentally, a cluster of sport touring helmets end up with the exact same star average end-up slightly ahead of the helmets we just mentioned. Alright, while this video is all about Noise Isolation, there are obviously many more criteria to consider when buying a helmet. Then there’s the AGV K6-S, a versatile all-rounder, delivering lightweight performance with excellent noise control. Finally, we have the Shoei GT Air 3, designed for long-distance touring, featuring integrated sun visors and top-tier wind reduction.

Ideally, the lid you pick for the street has a wider field of view. That way, you can spot a car in your blind spot or see approaching cross-traffic without needing to swivel your head too far. All of the helmets in this test also have some type of antimicrobial treatment on the padding including the Fox Racing V3 that’s equipped with an Ionic+ moisture-wicking liner.
