1. Shark Race-Pro De Puniet helmet

The aggressively designed Race-r Pro is Shark’s super racing helmet. Worn by several motoGP and WSBK rider, the topline helmet of Shark is a raise of the bar which is also very quiet compared to the PistaGP. The shape of the Race-r pro is super aerodynamic and super light-weight (just over 3 pounds) specifically built for the head down racing position. The 6 air intakes and 7 extractors are unseen on any other race helmet. The ventilation system avoids any fog flowing around in the helmet. The extractors enable an extraordinary ventilation which is one of the first things you notice immediately when you try on this premium helmet. The Race-r pro is the most advanced shell ever built by Shark. The multi-composite shell is made of aramid/carbon fiber/ fiber glass.

2. AGV Corsa Turtle helmet

The AGV Corsa is a true race helmet. Its distinctive shape and aggressive lines make it stand out from a design's perspective. One of the main reasons why it has been so popular is because the Corsa looks exactly the same as the PistaGP - AGV's first full carbon helmet coming on the market in 2013. While AGV's secret marketing weapon Valentino Rossi boosting sales with several designs: Corsa Soleluna, Corsa Turtle, Corsa Wintertest. AGV changed over 12 criteria compared to the previous topline helmet – the GP Tech. Improvements were made from an aerodynamics standpoint with the new spoiler. The vision angle of the visor was widened with 9° in a racing position. Compared to other helmets, the ventilation on the PistaGP is quite impressive. But the main improvement are the aggressive lines of this helmet. The spoiler eliminates 44% of drag. The only con is the PistaGP cannot be worn without earplugs, not unless you are looking to damage your hearing.

3. HJC rpha 10 Plus Lorenzo Graffiti helmet

The rpha10 is HJC’s super premium race helmet. Compared to the PistaGP and the Race-r Pro it fits a little more round. The rpha 10 has approximately the same weight as the Race-r pro. One of the key innovations is the way the chin vents work, with a far better functioning ventilation and the increased user-friendliness. Very nice and soft fabric used in the cheek pads.

4. Airoh GP500 Dovizioso helmet

The GP500 is probably the most comfy wearing helmet of this top 5. The helmet is the super light-weight premium helmet of Airoh. The Airoh is comparable to HJC for it rounder shape, unlike the race-r pro and the corsa with have a far sharper shaped shell. One of the main benefit compared to its rivals is the extraordinary noise control on this helmet. Tested in the wind tunnel and fine-tuned by Dovizioso make it the ultimate racing helmet. The display of the Ducati logo is for many ducati riders a big plus.

5. Shoei X-Spirit II Marquez

The X Spirit II is the top line premium race helmet of Shoei. The X spirit is a true race helmet and has a more oval head shape. The noise control on the X Spirit II is impressive but the first thing you notice when trying it on is the super light-weight. The visor change system is very user-friendly and quick to release and click. The shape of this helmet is comparable to the Race-r pro. The air ventilation is quite ok, but compared to the Race-r pro you might expect from it. Shoei is together with the Airoh also the most comfy wearing helmet and can be considered a more all-round helmet.
