With the growing popularity in dual sport riding the increase for a true dual sport helmet has also risen. Most riders wear either an off-road helmet or a full faced road helmet. You will find out real quick that this choice works great if you stay on the trail or on the road. The down fall is an off-road helmet is loud on the road and a full face is hot on the trail. Here is a list of the top selling dual sport helmets along with my likes and dislikes.
1.
GMAX GM11D Dual Sport Helmet
(Pictured) - $83.95 This is a great entry level priced dual sport helmet with a removable visor if you prefer to wear goggles during a ride. While road riding drag is minimal while wind noise is noticeable but not to loud. Find out what others think. "

Fly Racing Trekker Dual Sport Helmet
- $125.95 This is the dual sport helmet I use the most. Lens is easy to operate with one hand and goggles can be worn with lens installed. With 16 vents there is plenty of cooing while on the trail. One dislike is how fast it will fog up when visor is down. Find out what others think. "

LS2 MX453 Dual Sport Helmet
- $169.95 I have mixed feeling about this helmet. It fits well and is quiet. The down fall I have found is in certain lighting conditions there is some distortion in the lens which can be distracting. If its a cloudy day I pick this helmet over the Fly due to its fit. Find out what others think. "
