Your Safety, Our Priority
by NZBike Store
As your go-to destination for quality motorcycle accessories and gears, we understand the importance of finding the right helmet that not only ensures your safety but also enhances your riding experience. As a small market, New Zealand has generally applied international safety standards for motorcycle gear, including helmets.
Motorcycle Standards and Ratings in New Zealand
At NZBike Store, we stock a curated selection of helmets that adhere to international safety standards. We prioritize your safety, and our helmets comply with the rigorous testing requirements outlined by organizations like the UK Transport Research Laboratory. Explore our range, knowing that each helmet has met or exceeded the necessary safety standards set by NZTA.
Helmet Designs: Full-Face vs. Flip-Front - What We Recommend
When it comes to helmet design, our recommendation aligns with safety experts – prioritize full-face helmets. While open-face and flip-front helmets may have their appeal, statistics reveal that full-face helmets provide superior protection, covering the entire head and offering optimal structural integrity. Explore our collection to find full-face helmets that balance safety and style.
Finding the Perfect Fit - Try Before You Buy
Visit NZBike Store to experience a personalized helmet fitting. Our knowledgeable staff will ensure your helmet sits snugly on your head, with no compromises on comfort. The chin strap is a critical component; it should fit securely under your chin without causing discomfort. We encourage you to try the "roll test" to ensure a secure fit before making your selection.
Materials Matter, But Fit Matters More - Explore Quality Helmets
While the materials used in helmet construction, such as fibreglass or carbon fibre, play a role in strength and weight, independent testing has shown that no single material guarantees superior performance. Instead of fixating on materials, prioritize fit and tested performance when selecting a helmet. Remember, the best helmet is one that fits well and meets safety standards.
