Is the safety level of the modular helmet really different from that of a full helmet?

Posted by JolieeHazel on

Helmets are an essential piece of safety equipment for motorcyclists. In recent years, modular helmets have become increasingly popular among riders due to their removable flexibility. However, some riders argue that modular helmets are not as safe as full-face helmets. In this essay, I will present evidence to support the point of view that the detection mechanism of modular helmets and full-face helmets is the same.

To understand why some riders may believe that modular helmets are not as safe as full-face helmets, it is important to first understand the differences between the two. A full-face helmet is a one-piece helmet that covers the entire head and face, while a modular helmet is a two-piece helmet that can be converted from a full-face helmet to an open-face helmet by lifting the chin bar. This removable chin bar is what makes modular helmets more flexible than full-face helmets.

The main argument against modular helmets is that the removable chin bar compromises safety. Some riders believe that the chin bar may detach in the event of a crash, leaving the rider's face exposed to injury. However, studies have shown that the detection mechanism of modular helmets and full-face helmets is the same. Both types of helmets are designed to absorb impact and protect the head and face in the event of a crash.

In fact, a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that modular helmets provide similar levels of protection to full-face helmets. The study examined a sample of modular helmets and found that they met the same safety standards as full-face helmets. The NHTSA also found that there was no significant difference in the detection mechanism between the two types of helmets.

  • Meets or Exceeds FMVSS-218 and DOT Safety Standards
  • Helmet Liner / Cheek Pads are Lightweight, Soft and Easily Removable and Washable
  • Sleek and Lightweight Design Reduces Wind Noise

Another advantage of modular helmets over full-face helmets is their removable flexibility. Modular helmets allow riders to easily switch between a full-face helmet and an open-face helmet, depending on their preference or the weather conditions. This flexibility can be especially useful for riders who commute to work or ride in areas with changing weather conditions.

  • The led helmet which is different from the normal one, contains several LED lights that will flash at differing speeds depending on the rider’s preference. The LED function can easily be accessed by pressing the control button on the back of the helmet just below the LED panel

Furthermore, modular helmets can be more comfortable to wear than full-face helmets. The removable chin bar allows for better ventilation, which can help prevent the helmet from becoming too hot and uncomfortable during long rides. Additionally, the ability to lift the chin bar can make it easier to communicate with others while riding, such as speaking to a passenger or ordering food at a drive-thru.



In conclusion, the evidence suggests that the detection mechanism of modular helmets and full-face helmets is the same. Modular helmets provide similar levels of protection as full-face helmets and meet the same safety standards. One of the advantages of modular helmets over full-face helmets is their removable flexibility, which can make them more comfortable to wear and more convenient for riders who commute or ride in changing weather conditions. Therefore, riders can feel confident in their choice to wear a modular helmet knowing that it provides comparable protection to a full-face helmet.
