Are there any offroad helmets for bikes?

Question

I'm looking for an offroad/motocross-style bike helmet that I plan to use for BMX. Are there any companies that make cheap motorcycle helmets (under $50?) or replicas for bicycles that look like an offroad helmet? Thanks!

Answer 1

you can get offroad helmets for bikes but they can get very expensive. if you want one under $50 i would try going to the closest bike store and they may be able to order you one.

there called full face helmets.

Answer 2

I think you're wanting to get a full-face style helmet, right?  If that's what you mean by offroad and moto.   I don't think I've ever seen any for $50 or under, not even on super closeout sales.  There are some good ones that won't break the bank, though.

Pryme makes a decent one that usually sells for $65-$80 and I think Pro-Tec has one in that range, too.  Bell, Azonic, and Giro all have some cheaper models if you shop around.  Full-face helmets can get expensive quickly, but most of them are $140 or less, several of them in the $90-$120 range.

Look at http://www.pricepoint.com , http://www.nashbar.com , http://www.jensonusa.com , and http://www.blueskycycling.com for good helmet deals.  Nashbar and Performance usually have good closeouts and often offer coupons for an even greater deal on a helmet.  

Also, check out the Pro-Tec Ace Dig....not a full-face, but it's kinda retro.  Sort of a skate lid with a visor and some nice shaping.  You might like it, and it's different.   :o)
