Bike Helmets

Bike helmets for road riders, mountain bikers, commuters and teens, in sizes from youth to adult XL. Measure around the head just above the eyebrows, pick a helmet whose size range covers that number, then fine-tune with the rear dial. Many models use MIPS, a low-friction liner usually marked with a yellow dot.

Then match the helmet to how you ride. Giro and BELL road and urban helmets are light and well vented, Fox Racing Speedframe and Mainframe mountain bike helmets add a visor and deeper rear coverage, and OutdoorMaster offers MIPS helmets in youth and adult sizes. Riding BMX or downhill? Fly Racing makes full-face options. For younger riders, see our kids’ helmets.

Brands include Giro, Shinmax and Fox Racing.

Bike Helmets: frequently asked questions

Is wearing a bike helmet the law in Canada?

It depends on the province. British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island require helmets for riders of all ages; Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario require them for riders under 18. Quebec, Saskatchewan and the territories have no general helmet law, though some municipalities have bylaws.

How should a bike helmet fit?

The helmet should sit level, about two finger-widths above the eyebrows, with the side straps forming a V just below each ear. Buckled, the chin strap should allow no more than one or two fingers underneath, and the helmet should not slide when you shake your head.

When should I replace a bike helmet?

Replace it after any crash where your head hits the ground, even if you cannot see damage, because the foam is designed to crush once. Also replace a helmet with cracks, a loose fit or a broken buckle, and follow the age guidance from the maker.
