At Cascos Helmets, we have tested almost all the helmets that exist on the market in 2022 and we evaluate them based on:
- Build quality
- The weight
- The comfort
- Safety
Five helmets have stood out as the best of the best for those seeking state-of-the-art protection and comfort. However, that level of quality comes at a price, which is why this is the list of the best 20220 helmets above 500.
Bell Moto 10 helmet / Best dirt helmet
This year, top dirt helmet honors go to the Bell Moto 10. This is Bell’s flagship dirt helmet, and it is worn by riders at the highest levels of racing. Cameron Macadoo was wearing a Moto 10 during a particularly violent crash at Atlanta this year, and the helmet took the hit like a champ. As for Macadoo, he was cleared to continue racing and finished third. Color us impressed.The Moto 10 uses state-of-the-art Spherical MIPS technology for increased protection from rotational impacts. It also has a segmented 3K carbon shell for incredible strength, yet minimal weight. The two pieces join with aerospace-style connectors to create a huge ventilation channel through the middle of the helmet. This makes it one of the most comfortable dirt lids we’ve ever tested.
The Moto 10 is DOT, ECE, and SNELL certified, and it accepts most goggles. This is the dirt rider’s “holy grail” helmet of the year.

Shoei Neotec 2: Best modular helmet
Our favorite modular on the market is the Shoei Neotec 2. While other helmets have come and gone, the Neotec continues to impress with its refinement and attention to detail. Sure, it weighs a bit more than some of the other options in the class, but our testers reach for Shoei’s modular when comfort and convenience are top priority. Of course, the Neotec 2 delivers plenty of protection, too, with its dual-layer EPS liner and stainless steel chinbar lock components.
On the road, the Neotec 2 is quiet and stable. The shell incorporates a spoiler design and vortex generators to reduce neck fatigue. Other niceties include an internal sun visor, excellent ventilation, a Pinlock-ready face shield, and integrated connections for an SLR Bluetooth Headset from Sena.

Arai XD-4: Best ADV helmet
Do your rides frequently combine dirt and pavement? You’ll want an ADV helmet to tackle any terrain. And the king of ADV helmets for 2022 is the Arai XD-4, based on our expert testing and customer feedback.
Arai’s XD series is one of the most legendary in the business, and with the XD-4, Arai reaches new heights of protection and performance. The helmet carries SNELL M2020 certification, superior ventilation, and an interior that can be adjusted to the individual rider’s preferences with removable sections of foam. Each XD-4 is handmade, and Arai’s paintwork is rich and precise. Large air scoops on the sides of the helmet keep the air flowing when taking a technical section or battling traffic. Add the aerodynamic peak that avoids buffeting at speed, and we have our winner.

AGV PISTA GP RR: Best race/sport helmet
For the fastest of the fast, our favorite helmet is the AGV Pista GP RR. It uses a full carbon fiber construction, of course, weighing a scant three pounds, five ounces in a medium-small. That means it is one of the lightest helmets in its class with an FIM certification. Speaking of the FIM, this helmet is meant for racing enthusiasts, but it can certainly be worn on the street.
Visibility is excellent thanks to a 190-degree field of view through an optically correct shield with provisions for Pinlock inserts and tear-offs. There’s also a removable integrated hydration system. If you can’t tell, this helmet is the closest we mortals can get to the equipment worn on the MotoGP grid, and thanks to AGV’s uncompromising design, this helmet has earned its reputation as the best of the best.

LS2 Thunder Carbon: Best budget race/sport helmet
Yes, our “budget” choice for best race/sport helmet is $700, but give us a chance to explain. LS2’s Thunder Carbon helmet is a phenomenal value that probably falls under “bang for buck” more than “budget.” (Then again, it’s half the price of the AGV above!) This helmet offers a sprawling set of features and accessories that put it ahead of the competition. First off, it’s three pounds, four ounces in a medium, which is actually lighter than the Pista GP RR. It even has DOT/ECE/FIM certification. An impressive aero design keeps the Thunder Carbon as light and neutral as possible.
The helmet includes a high-quality carry bag, clear and smoke shields, tear-offs, Pinlock inserts, a winter breath guard, a hydration tube, and an inflatable helmet cushion. Basically, LS2 includes all the accessories and performance you need to take a helmet to the track. We wish more manufacturers would take this approach, but for now, LS2 leads the way in this category.
That’s a wrap for our favorite helmets of the year. We’ve scoured the industry for the best lids available, and we’re confident that these choices will not disappoint. And if you have any questions about these helmets, our customer service team can get you pointed in the right direction.
