A good helmet can be the difference between life and death for someone who rides a motorbike regularly in the city. Although the speed limit on many main roads in Barcelona is 50 km/hour, this velocity can still prove fatal when a motorcyclist is in an accident. A helmet of good quality will sufficiently protect the most fragile part of your body from suffering a traumatic injury. Full face helmets will be the safest option, as they are made in one piece, will adapt better to your head shape, don’t move around and cover all the areas of the head that are important to protect. Modular or jet helmets, on the other hand, leave your jaw uncovered, which is the area most likely to be injured in a fall.
You can find a variety of motorcycle stores that sell quality helmets to ensure your safety while cruising through the city. It’s a good idea to learn about the most popular helmet brands and models, as those that are more heavily commercialized have likely been tested and approved more conclusively for their safety and quality. There are also a variety of companies and models that sell more attractive and trendy helmets that are popular for their aesthetic design but not so much for their quality – overall, you should prioritize safety over style and brands.
