ADV/Dual Sport motorcycle helmets definitely look cool, but are they actually necessary to ride a motorcycle off road? Why do ADV helmets have peaks? What's the point of a peaked helmet in the first place?
The good news is you absolutely do not need an ADV helmet to ride a motorcycle off road. Peaked motorcycle helmets definitely have some advantages that make them well-suited for off road motorcycle riding, but they're far from required. Let's talk about the advantages of peaked motorcycle helmets for off road riding (roost protection, sun visor, wider eyeport, longer chin bar) as well as the disadvantages (more wind noise, the helmet visor catches wind on the highway, etc...). We'll also cover some of the best adv helmets to consider, whether you're a brand new dual sport motorcycle rider or a seasoned ADV motorcycle veteran.
At the end of the day, so long as your motorcycle helmet is ECE or Snell rated, still within it's workable lifespan, and actually on your head, you're probably good to go whether you choose to wear an ADV helmet or not.
