Bicycle Helmets by Area of Use

For urban everyday life, city helmets with integrated lighting and weatherproof rain covers are an ideal choice. Mountain bike helmets score points with extended rear-head and temple protection as well as a visor for trail tours. Road bike helmets focus on aerodynamics, low weight and optimal ventilation for long distances. Dedicated children's helmets from MET, ABUS and Bell offer child-friendly fits, bright colours and simple adjustment systems for a safe start on the bike.

What to Look for When Buying a Helmet? – Size, Fit & Technology

You determine the right size by measuring your head circumference above the eyebrows; manufacturers such as Giro, POC and Lazer provide detailed size charts. A good helmet sits firmly without pinching and can be adjusted via an adjustment dial or strap system. Modern technologies such as MIPS, WaveCel or SPIN reduce rotational forces during a fall and further increase safety. When buying, look for the CE mark and the EN 1078 standard – both confirm the tested protective function.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the right helmet size for me?
Measure your head circumference about one finger-width above the eyebrows and compare the value with the manufacturer's size chart. Almost all models feature an adjustment dial or strap system for a customised fit.
Which safety standards do the bicycle helmets available here meet?
All helmets offered are CE-marked and comply with the European standard EN 1078. Many models additionally offer protection systems such as MIPS, WaveCel or similar technologies to protect against rotational forces during a fall.
Which type of helmet is best for everyday city traffic?
For city use, urban helmets with deep rear-head and temple protection, integrated LED lights or matching rain covers are particularly recommended. Popular models come from ABUS, Uvex and Giro.
What is the difference between mountain bike and road bike helmets?
Mountain bike helmets often feature extended protection at the rear of the head and temples as well as a visor. Road bike helmets, on the other hand, are lighter, more aerodynamic and designed with large ventilation openings for long rides and high speeds.
How often should a bicycle helmet be replaced?
A helmet should be replaced after a serious crash or at the latest after 3 to 5 years, as the material fatigues over time and safety can no longer be fully guaranteed.
Which helmet brands are especially recommended for children?
Brands such as MET, ABUS, Bell and Giro offer dedicated children's helmets with low weight, child-friendly design and simple adjustment systems. Bright colours and reflectors additionally increase visibility in traffic.
Are particularly lightweight helmets less safe?
Not necessarily. Modern in-mold construction methods allow extremely lightweight helmets that still meet all safety standards. The key factor is EN 1078 certification – weight alone says nothing about protective performance.
How do I properly care for and clean my bicycle helmet?
Clean the helmet with lukewarm water and mild soap; aggressive cleaning agents should be avoided. Many pads are removable and can be washed by hand. Air-dry the helmet and never place it on a heater.
