Adventure Helmets
The adventure helmet combines the motocross shape – peak, pronounced chin guard – with a full street visor. It's the choice for those who ride a maxi-trail like a BMW GS, Ducati Multistrada, KTM Adventure, or Honda Africa Twin, and are looking for a versatile helmet for street, highway, and occasional off-road use. Here you'll find Airoh Commander models and others, ECE 22.06 approved.
Adventure Helmets: Guide, Tips, and FAQs
Strengths
- Full visor + peak – street protection and off-road style combined
- 3-in-1 configuration – some models allow the peak and visor to be removed for more sporty use
- Serious ventilation – more channels than a full-face street helmet
- Pinlock-ready – for winter rides and early morning light
Important Notes
- On the highway, the peak catches the wind: less stability compared to a smooth full-face helmet.
- For intense off-road use, a pure motocross helmet remains lighter and more ventilated.
- Some models are convertible: remove the peak or visor depending on the type of ride.
Who it's perfect for
For the owner of a maxi-enduro who wants a single helmet for commuting, weekend trips, and some dirt roads. It's not the lightest in its category, but it's the most versatile. Contact us for more information if you have doubts about the configurability of a specific model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an adventure or a full-face helmet better for my GS?
It depends on your use. If you only ride on the road, a full-face helmet is quieter and more stable on the highway. If you also plan off-road or dirt road riding, an adventure helmet allows for better breathing under exertion and protects from direct sun thanks to the peak. Many GS owners have one of each.
Can the peak be removed?
Yes, on many modern adventure helmets, and they effectively become full-face helmets. On 3-in-1 models, you can also remove the visor for a pure motocross configuration. Check the product sheet for the modularity of the helmet you're interested in and the parts included in the package.
Can I use an adventure helmet with motocross goggles?
Yes, adventure helmets are designed to also be used with goggles instead of a visor. The front opening is sized to accommodate standard goggles. This is the recommended configuration for demanding off-road rides, where a full visor fogs up under physical exertion.
