“Rule the road, but first wear the crown.”
Yes! Wearing a helmet when riding a two-wheeler is not negotiable.
ATGATT, ‘all the gear, all the time,’ an old acronym from the biking world reiterates the need to use motorcycle accessories at all times, even when the perceived risk is less.
Apart from staying alert and following the traffic rules, the first motorcycle accessory that comes to mind to ascertain safety on a two-wheeler is a helmet.
It safeguards the most vulnerable part of the body, the head, from a fatal injury.
The importance of helmets in protecting a rider cannot be stressed enough. Therefore, one must research and buy the best available helmet.
So, what factors should one keep in mind when scouting for the ‘right’ helmet?
Of course, you need it to protect your head from a possible severe injury!
But there are n numbers of options available in the market. So, which one to opt for?
The rider’s need and personality should determine the type of helmet he/she chooses.
For example, an event like motocross requires an ‘Off-Road Full Face Helmet’ helmet to be fitted with the latest safety and convenience features like Bluetooth connectivity, dual visor, dynamic ventilation system, to name a few.
For a short and quick spin around the city, one can go for a simpler version and focus more on styling.
High-speed riding, like on the race track requires an aerodynamic helmet. One that is designed to keep the air drag to a minimum is lightweight, yet sturdy.
Therefore, understanding the various types of helmets, their features and purpose are vital before making a choice.
Today’s riders want it all – safety, comfort and style! And why not?! Why should one settle for anything but the best, especially when the best is readily available?
The motorcycle helmet industry has been going through a technological revolution in the last few decades. Cutting edge technology is being used extensively in manufacturing helmets that are new age, in all aspects.
The ‘right’ helmet will safeguard the rider in the most extreme conditions, and the wrong one can make even a 15-minute ride most uncomfortable.
At STUDDS, innovation and extensive research are at the helm of our operations to bring the ‘right’ helmet to you.

Here are 11 Features that Make STUDDS Helmets Standout
1. ISI Certified
STUDDS helmets are ISI certified and follow all industry protocols. They go through rigorous quality checks before reaching the customer.
VCA England has approved our in-house testing laboratory, and we hold all major safety certifications of the Indian helmet industry.
Additionally, our helmets rank high on trusted sites and have the recommendation of industry experts.
2. Shock Absorbing Capacity
STUDDS helmets are designed to withstand and absorb extreme force on impact.
Furthermore, they go through rigorous testing to check the shock-absorbing capability, thus building on the rider’s safety.
The helmets have two principal protective components:
-
Hard Outer Shell
The outer shell of a STUDDS helmet is made with latest generation materials. It is injected with high-impact grade thermoplastic, which is extremely resilient and absorbs the impact of the crash effectively.
-
Inner Lining
An extremely critical feature, it absorbs more G-force, thus providing more protection.
The inner lining of STUDDS helmet is a soft and thick protective padding made of multi-density expanded polystyrene foam (EPS).
The density and thickness of the EPS determine how much it cushions or crushes on impact. It helps in protecting the head from the brunt of the crash.
Both the outer shell and inner lining are tested under extreme conditions for endurance and resistance under pressure.
3. Aerodynamic Design
STUDDS helmets are aerodynamically designed to reduce the drag from air pressure and keep them stable, even at high speed.
This feature significantly builds on the rider’s safety.
4. Quick Release Chinstrap
An essential feature to build on the rider’s safety and comfort.
A quick-release chin strap is critical in case there is an emergency or an accident, and one needs to remove the helmet quickly.
Additionally, the ease of operating a helmet builds on a rider’s comfort.
5. Dual Visor
The sharp sun rays can blind the rider, distracting him/her and can cause a fatal accident.

This feature significantly enhances the rider’s comfort.
9. Removable & Replaceable Liner
Removable and replaceable liners are essential for a rider’s comfort and hygiene.
These can be easily removed and washed to get rid of the sweat and dirt.
