Road Bike Helmets

Suitable for every rider road helmets have come a long way from the leather buckets of the 70s. Bike helmets are paramount to rider safety and you are required to wear one in Australia.

In fact riding without a helmet is illegal in Australia. Further Australian helmet standards are tough and global manufacturers must past rigorous tests to sell in Australia with the appropriate testing labels.

Always check your helmet for the Standard AS/NZS label before purchase. Please note that Port Melbourne Cycles only sells road bike helmets that have met Australian Standard AS/NZS Certification.

With road cycling increasing in popularity in Australia there are a large range of road bike helmets now available. Some helmets also come in multiple sizes as manufacturers acknowledge that “one-size-fits-all” just isn’t the case anymore. Further the protective features of modern helmets allow for the head to move rather than holding it still, causing further damage.

Finally, modern Australian safety helmets often specialise in airflow, preventing excessive heat retention. This is perfect both for aerodynamics and comfort on a long, hot Australian summer ride.
