This collection includes a range of motocross helmets designed for different off-road riding disciplines and skill levels. You'll find full-face MX helmets engineered for professional racing, recreational trail riding, and everything in between.

All helmets in this collection are purpose-built for off-road conditions with extended chin bars, sun visors, and goggle-compatible designs.

Yes, Alpinestars motocross helmets meet or exceed major international safety standards. Depending on the specific model and your market, helmets carry DOT (Department of Transportation), ECE 22.06 (Economic Commission for Europe), or both certifications. These certifications ensure the helmets have passed rigorous impact testing and safety protocols. Always verify the certification labels inside your helmet to confirm compliance with your region's legal requirements for off-road riding.

Proper helmet fit is critical for both safety and comfort. Measure your head circumference at its widest point, typically just above your eyebrows and ears, then consult the size chart on each product page. A correctly fitted motocross helmet should feel snug but not painfully tight, with no pressure points. The helmet should not rotate freely on your head, and cheek pads should make firm contact without causing discomfort. Keep in mind that helmet liners compress slightly during the break-in period, so a new helmet may feel slightly tighter initially than after several rides.

Alpinestars motocross helmets utilize advanced composite shell construction combining materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and advanced thermoplastics. These materials are selected for their optimal strength-to-weight ratio, providing maximum protection while minimizing neck fatigue during extended rides. The interior features multi-density EPS (expanded polystyrene) impact-absorbing liners engineered to manage energy during impacts. Comfort liners use moisture-wicking, removable, and washable fabrics to maintain hygiene and comfort in demanding off-road conditions.

Yes, motocross helmets are well-suited for enduro, trail riding, and other off-road disciplines. The design features that make MX helmets ideal for motocross—extended chin bars for impact protection, large eye ports for goggle compatibility, aggressive ventilation, and sun visors—translate perfectly to enduro and trail riding environments. The lightweight construction and superior airflow help reduce fatigue during long rides through varied terrain. For riders who split time between track and trail, a quality motocross helmet provides versatile protection across all off-road riding styles.
