After a recent concussion, I’m looking into getting the best helmet available. Let’s see what you have or what you like!

Bell Moto 9 Flex.

Honestly you can't go wrong with any of the higher end helmets. Just make sure it fits your head properly. That's what's most important.

Bell Moto 9 Flex or 6D.

I wear the Bell because it fits my head very well. Can't go wrong with either

Love my 6d. Was a bell guy all the way back to the late 90’s. My 6d fits my head better and is more comfortable.

Try on a bunch of mid to higher end helmets and buy the one that fits the best.

Any of the higher end helmets such as 6d, bell Moto 9, arai, shoei, leatt etc are very good. It's best to try them all on and see which is most comfortable for you obviously. So whichever fits you nicely will be a very good choice.

I just got a JUST1 and love it. Its so comfy and they make a different shell for each size of helmet. Plus its made in ITALY, you know its quality.

I got a Bell Moto 9 w/MIPS and it’s a really comfy helmet, probably should’ve spent the extra bit for the Flex.

Bell Moto 9 Flex, the new Shoei, 6D ATR-2.

Choose the one that fits you the best.

Edit: Airoh Aviator 2.2 is an outsider but the problem is that it is an old helmet by the modern standards (no concussion preventative features).

I’m waiting a few months to get the new Alpinestars lid.

LS2 Subverter. It’s a highly advanced helmet in terms of safety and ventilation. However, the price tag is low because they manufacture in house. As the matter of fact, many of the high priced helmets are made out of only a few facilities in the world. LS2 owns one of those that many other brands are made. High quality helmets without a high end price tag.

6D no doubt about it bro
Pretty much won't put my head in anything else at this point, nothing else on the market is even close design wise.

Just bought 6d ATTR-2. Great lid. Highly recommend.
