▲ Motorcycle peripheral equipment, in addition to riding clothes, there are many parts to wear. Friends who like motorcycles should be careful, into the pit.
Riding a motorcycle is different from driving a car. In addition to various modifications of the motorcycle itself, the most basic "kit change" is to put various brands of kits on the body. Then I started to play all kinds of "style changes", such as cafes? Racing car, float, tracker, scrambler, chopper, etc. If your conditions permit, you can finally choose some "limited funds" or go to the point of no return of "customized reform".
▲ Regarding the modification of motorcycles, in addition to the common kit changes, friends who like retro still have some styles to choose from.
About the different ways of playing and styles of motorcycles, I will find opportunities to introduce them to you in the future. Today, I will introduce you to the motorcycle helmet, which is also my personal helmet collected in recent years.
Classification of helmets
Motorcycle helmets are mainly divided into full helmet, 3/4 helmet and spoon helmet.
Full helmet
Full helmet, the helmet body itself can provide a complete cover for the whole head, with the highest protection. Full helmet can be divided into several different styles due to different functions, such as common racing helmet, pulling helmet, retro full helmet, cross-country helmet, uncovered helmet and so on.
Racing helmet || Shark? Race? r？ Pro: The most common helmet style is the first choice for most people to buy motorcycles. It has good hydrodynamic design and ventilation effect, and has the best protection effect on the head. The disadvantage is that the front view area is small, and some high-end helmets will be equipped with spoilers, resulting in high-speed wind noise. However, due to its hydrodynamic design and spoiler structure, the high-speed helmet will not rise at high speed and will not affect the visual field and handling performance at high speed.
Pull helmet || New well? Travel? Cross? 3. Suitable for long-distance motorcycle travel. Combined with the bidirectional characteristics of full helmet and cross-country helmet, considering the harsh terrain and all-weather use conditions that may be encountered during riding, the reflector has a large visual range and is equipped with a sun visor. Good ventilation effect, but not suitable for winter use! (there is a new generation Tour in the later stage of this model? X-4 series).
▲ Xinjing? I have had two TC series, the second generation and the third generation, which are worth planting grass.
Retro helmet || Ruby? Castel: Most retro full helmets emphasize that the shape of the helmet exceeds the function. Personally, I classify it as "appearance" goods, not that it is not good, because it is handsome enough, but not practical! There is no fluid mechanics at high speed, and the wind noise is extremely heavy after the speed exceeds 80 kilometers per hour! But generally speaking, in the case of low riding speed in urban areas, retro full helmet can not only give consideration to safety, but also be more fashionable.

Cross-country helmet || Bell? Moto3: For riders who like to play outdoor off-road vehicles, they must be familiar with off-road helmets. Their middle faces are hollowed out and can be freely matched with off-road goggles. The helmet has a big mouth protector, brim and other designs. However, in recent years, off-road helmets have also become a style of retro helmets, so it has also become a hot spot for retro riders to choose helmets. The reason is that they are more practical and breathable than ordinary retro full helmets, but the disadvantage is that they are too breathable and may not work well in winter. In addition, there is a big wind noise. At the same time, riding in a heavily polluted city is easy to leave a lot of "oil stains" on their faces.
▲ Bell? Moto3 is a classic helmet, which has been loved by retro riders since re-lettering.
3/4 helmet
3/4 helmet, as the name implies, is a helmet that only covers 3/4 of the head area and can show the chin. Suitable for summer use, but also the favorite of retro car players. There is basically no big difference in the shape of the 3/4 helmet, mainly because of some derivative functions, such as the self-contained lifting lens, visor brim, vent hole, narrow helmet body and so on. , depending on the product positioning of the helmet brand itself.
3/4 helmet | Vespa official: The official customized helmet provided to Vespa owners has a detachable "face mirror" in front, but it only covers the eyes, mainly for fear that the eyes will accidentally enter foreign objects and mosquitoes when riding. Because it is a brand product, many design details are with Vespa style design ingenuity.
3/4 helmet || Biltwell narrow helmet body: Many retro players like this kind of narrow helmet body, because most of the 3/4 helmets are too big to maintain a certain degree of safety, and they can't provide enough impact resistance and absorption ability. It feels like the shape of the cartoon Big Head Son. So this kind of narrow helmet was developed later. Although it looks good, it has not passed any safety certification. Therefore, it is only used as an ornament abroad, and it is not recommended to wear it on the street!
3/4 helmet | |Arai? Uptown: This is the first Arai in my life. I bought it on 1996, with a visor brim and detachable lenses. Arai should be the first high-priced helmet brand that many riders will choose when buying a car. At least in my time, no one would spend nearly 2000 yuan on a 3/4 helmet. Arai has a patented ventilation inlet design and an overhead air inlet! Although the wind noise is not small, the effect is good when worn in urban areas or used with retro cars.

3/4 helmet || Ruby? Pavillon: I won't say much about Ruby, which is known as the LV of helmet industry. Opinions vary. Some retro car players think that this is a luxury (for 13) and not the essence of playing cars, but I can only say that they don't understand the real value and technical content of this helmet. Ruby's value lies in that its helmet body is made of carbon fiber, which is directly molded with a single piece of carbon fiber cloth, and the upper part of the helmet has a convex shape. Because there will be a certain failure rate in the production process, every ruby is extremely precious. The advantage is that it is very tonal, but the disadvantage is that the lens adopts snap-in design, which is not conducive to the use of glasses.
▲Ruby I personally like it, although it sounds like a "big head son".
jacket
Jacket: This is the representative of American motorcycle culture and one of the "standard items" for Harley and Indian riders. Advantages are ventilation, cool and good vision, but disadvantages are insufficient safety! Only suitable for very short rides. But personally, I would suggest that it is best to choose a 3/4 helmet with a spoon, which is suitable for ventilation and safer.
So much for today's introduction. Next time, I will continue to tell you more interesting little knowledge about helmets. If you want to buy a helmet recently, you may wish to refer to it.
