Recreational helmets are the simplest type of helmet. They are used for recreation as the title implies, or by people who commute to work. They are economical and perfect for commuter, road and mountain bikers. They often include visors to shield your eyes from the sun.
Road bike helmets have more advanced aerodynamic features and are much lighter than recreational helmets These helmets allow for a wide view, so you can clearly see if there’s a car coming your way.
Mountain bike helmets are perfect for people who ride downhill and need good ventilation. As the terrain is very demanding and it’s really easy to get hurt, the helmet has a hard shell and the straps are very firm.
