Let us first briefly classify the helmets, which can be divided into four categories according to the sports scene and exercise intensity, namely commuter helmets, mountain half helmets, mountain full helmets and road helmets.
NO.1 Mountain half helmet
Mountain bike half helmet is a unified or general concept, because there are many mountain riding scenes, generally speaking, there are XC, Trail, AM, DH, FR, Enduro, etc. The riding intensity corresponding to different scenes is different , so the helmets they use are also different.
In terms of appearance, XC is somewhat similar to road helmets, and in terms of performance, it pursues lightness, breathability and aerodynamic performance. Other mountain biking helmets are completely different. In terms of appearance, they have a long brim and the back of the head is smoother; in terms of functional design, they pay more attention to strength and protection performance, the most obvious being the protection of the back of the head, so the helmet's The weight will also increase.
NO.2 Mountain full helmet
The mountain full helmet is designed for high-intensity and complex riding scenarios. It is very similar to a motorcycle helmet in appearance. It emphasizes the protection of the entire head, and it provides protection for the side face, neck and chin. support and protection. This type of helmet is mainly suitable for downhill, climbing and other complex terrain, high-intensity mountain sports scenes, and some of them also wear this kind of full helmet in Enduro competitions.
NO3. Road helmet
Road helmets should be the type of helmets that are most exposed to the public, because they are suitable for a wide range of people, such as mountain horses, road riding, road competition, commuting, travel, etc., almost all road helmets are used.
In terms of appearance, the simplest difference between road helmets and mountain helmets is that they do not have a brim, which is more in line with the needs of road riding and provides better vision. In terms of performance, it is more aerodynamic, lightweight, and has good ventilation, which is more in line with people's wearing habits!
In road helmets, one can be further subdivided or listed separately: it is the triathlon helmet, and the triathlon helmet is a specialized competitive helmet. From the appearance, it has a small tail and has few air holes. Designed according to aerodynamic principles. Although the shape is very aggressive, it is not suitable for the public, just like the mountain full helmet, it is only suitable for professional riding scenes.
NO.4 Commuter helmet
In fact, there is no special classification of commuter helmets in bicycle helmets. It is mentioned here because this type of user group is very large. For example, for daily commuting, long-distance travel and other cyclists, their exercise intensity is not high. Large, the riding conditions are not complicated, and they usually call themselves "recreational riding", and this group of people can choose the commuter helmet mentioned here.
Commuter helmets are mainly ordinary road helmets, and there are also some mountain dual-use helmets. As mentioned earlier, the pursuit of helmet performance is different in different riding scenarios, so there is no helmet that is suitable for both mountain sports and road sports. This kind of helmet that claims to be dual-purpose for mountain is listed as a commuter helmet. helmet.
