Helmet Safety Rating

SHARP is the Safety Helmet and Assessment Rating Programme - it's the helmet safety scheme for motorcyclists conducted by British Government. Their objective is to educate motorcyclists and other road users about better behaviour that could reduce casualties. They are trying to save 50 lives of motorcyclist per year from the initiative by advising them to use the high scoring helmets for better protection.

This for sure will have impact on my decision for the 'perfect' helmet. Here goes the result from SHARP research on my helmet list:

Shoei X11 XSpirit - 4 Star

Arai RX7 Corsair - 3 Star

AGV Stealth - Not Yet!

I would really think about my helmet choice after this. You too!
