Motocross Helmets
Whether you're hitting the motocross track, exploring trail rides or competing at race level, choosing the right motocross helmet is one of the most important investments you can make. Designed specifically for off-road riding, motocross helmets provide lightweight protection, excellent ventilation and the comfort needed to ride with confidence in all conditions.
At City Honda Manawatu, we stock a wide range of motocross helmets from leading brands including Alpinestars, Leatt, Shoei, O'neal and more. Our collection includes helmets for riders of all ages and skill levels, from beginners through to experienced racers, with options for both adults and youth riders.
Why Choose a Motocross Helmet?
Unlike road motorcycle helmets, motocross helmets are designed to maximise airflow while reducing weight for demanding off-road riding. Their extended chin bar improves ventilation and protection, while the large eye port is designed to work seamlessly with motocross goggles for maximum visibility.
Modern MX helmets feature advanced shell construction, moisture-wicking liners, removable interiors and multiple ventilation ports to help keep riders comfortable throughout practice sessions, trail rides and race weekends.
Protection You Can Trust
A properly fitted motocross helmet is essential for rider safety and comfort. Many modern helmets meet recognised motorcycle helmet safety standards, providing dependable protection for motocross, enduro and trail riding. Choosing the correct size ensures your helmet performs as intended while remaining comfortable during long days on the bike.
Whether you're looking for your first motocross helmet or upgrading your current gear, our experienced team can help you find the right helmet for your riding style.

Frequently Asked Questions
Need help choosing a motocross helmet? Here are answers to some of the most common questions riders ask.
What's the difference between a motocross helmet and a road helmet?
Motocross helmets are designed specifically for off-road riding. They feature a peak visor, larger eye port for goggles, increased ventilation and a lightweight design, making them ideal for motocross, enduro and trail riding.
Do I need goggles with a motocross helmet?
Yes. Motocross helmets are designed to be worn with motocross goggles, which provide eye protection from dust, mud, stones and other debris while riding.
How should a motocross helmet fit?
Your helmet should fit snugly around your head without creating painful pressure points. It should not move excessively when you shake your head, while still remaining comfortable for long rides.
How often should I replace my motocross helmet?
Replace your helmet immediately after any significant impact or whenever it shows signs of damage. Even without impacts, most manufacturers recommend replacing helmets every five to seven years depending on use and condition.
Can I use a motocross helmet on the road?
Some motocross helmets meet the required safety standards for road use, but because they don't include a visor they are designed to be worn with goggles. Always check your local road rules and the helmet's certification.
Are motocross helmets lightweight?
Yes. Modern motocross helmets are designed to be lightweight while still providing excellent impact protection, helping reduce rider fatigue during long rides or race days.
What safety standard should I look for?
Look for motocross helmets that meet recognised motorcycle helmet safety standards such as ECE 22.06 where applicable, ensuring they've been independently tested for rider protection.
Do you sell helmets for both adults and children?
Yes. We stock motocross helmets for riders of all ages. Browse our dedicated Adult Motocross Helmets and Youth Motocross Helmets collections to find the right size.
