Open Face Motorcycle Helmets

There’s no denying the appeal of an open-face helmet. On a warm day, when you’re cruising through town or pottering down country lanes, nothing feels more free. You get the wind in your face, more visibility, and a direct connection to the road that’s hard to beat.
 
But we’re not going to sugar-coat it, for serious riding, a full-face or flip-lid helmet is the safer choice. An open-face lid offers no chin protection, and there are plenty of grim photos online that show what can happen in a frontal impact. So it really depends on how, when and where you ride.
 
Still, if an open-face lid is right for you, there are better and worse options. The Shoei J-Cruise 3, for example, gives you proper protection in the shell and structure, with a full-length visor and an internal drop-down sun visor. For a more minimalist look, the new Shoei J.O2 dials it back to basics but still meets the latest ECE 22-06 safety standard.
 
As always, we can tailor fit it at our Guildford store. You can also order online with free next-day delivery and free returns.

Shoei J.O2 helmet in matt black

Malcolm: Replacement helmet

Having realised that my last JO2 was past its best and also I had lost a bit of weight resulting in it lifting as I rode a replacement was needed. I did look at flip lids and the J cruise and came back to this helmet. The visor is great in the summer for bug protection and does keep rain out to a degree. Build quality is superb as expected and the fit suits me just right. Comfort is really good. I know many will not ride with an open face but if you do, then the JO2 is pretty much the best. Very happy. Thanks again Motolegends!

Shoei J.O2 helmet in british green

Nick C: Shoei J.O2 open face helmet

Excellent fit for me XL although Im a XL in Arai . Visor retracts into helmet allowing goggles to be worn. Although there are only 2 air vents at rear head temperature was ok even though it was a warm 26 deg C sunny day. Motolegends staff very helpful at Guildford , well worth visit.

Schuberth M1 Pro helmet in gloss white

Nicholas Evitts: Better than expected

Bought this helmet recently and after changing it for a better fit, I now find this helmet works really well. Its quiet I have a naked bike seems fairly warm and not ice cold given the lack of a chin bar, the plug and play comms set with the included remote control works really well too, and its light weight.. Overall, for me its better than I expected.
