The price of helmets ranges from a few hundred to tens of thousands, and the core difference lies in the shell material. ABS, fiberglass, and carbon fiber each have trade-offs in weight, strength, and cost. This article breaks down the engineering characteristics of the three materials to help you make a rational choice based on your riding scenario, avoiding budget misallocation.
When it comes to picking out a helmet, the vast majority of riders lock onto price and looks pretty much straight away—and completely gloss over the one question that genuinely counts: how does a helmet actually defend your head when you hit the ground?
