At BCH we try and only review crash helmets that’ll give us bikers the best protection. If we’ve gotta wear a crash helmet, we reckon we might as well wear one that’ll offer top notch protection to our noggins. And while all safety tests get some bad press, the SHARP test was designed to give real world relevance while testing helmets under lab conditions. That way we can see how a range of helmets fair against the same impacts. In the UK, the SHARP helmet test is probably as good and as independent as any.
So, if you’re browsing this website looking for a review of a particular helmet but can’t find it, that might well be why – we only review crash helmets for sale that score 4 or 5 stars in the SHARP test. For more information on why we’re adopting this approach, see our about page.
Meanwhile, here’s a list of Shoei crash helmets that didn’t reach 4 or 5 Stars and so aren’t reviewed on this site. It’s worth noting that Shoei don’t have any helmets that scored less than 3 Stars so that’s a testament to their good build quality and internal testing regime.
- Shoei XR-1000 (3 Stars)
- Shoei Multitech (3 Stars)
- That’s it!
To find a list of Arai helmets that didn’t reach SHARP 4 or 5 Stars when tested, have a look here.
