SHARP 4 Star Motorbike Crash Helmet Reviews

The UK’s SHARP crash helmet testing scheme lab tests motorcycle helmets for safety and scores them on a scale of 1-5 stars – with 5 being the highest score.

Even though they dropped a star, we still regard four star rated helmets as providing very good protection and wouldn’t hesitate to buy one ourselves – remember getting a helmet that fits just right trumps the star rating of your helmet. So, to optimise protection, get a helmet that fits right and choose a helmet with a good star rating.

On these pages, we’ll only show ECE helmets that scored 4 out of 5 stars when tested by SHARP (go here for 5 star rated helmets).
