Best 3XL Motorcycle Helmets

Schuberth C5 – Modular Helmet

• Price: $749
• Where to Buy: RevZilla | J&P Cycles

Why?

Schuberth is well known for the extremely high-quality helmets they produce, and the C5 is a completely new helmet for 2022.

The shell is made with a new proprietary method called Direct Fiber Processing (DFP) that forms an extremely strong shell yet keeps the weight low. Schuberth always aims for a very quiet helmet, and aerodynamics play a huge part in that. This is a very stable helmet, and thanks to a newly designed liner should provide very good airflow to keep that big head of yours cooled off.

The helmet is plug-and-play prepared for the SC2 communication system, having the speakers and microphone already preinstalled.

This is a premium modular helmet that can be had in a 3XL.

Key Specs & Head Shape

• Head shape: Intermediate oval
• Weight: 3.9lbs at 3XL
• DOT or ECE? DOT certified

Best 4XL/5XL Motorcycle Helmets

BILT Techno 3.0 Modular Sena Bluetooth – Modular Helmet

• Price: $289
• Where to Buy: RevZilla | J&P Cycles

Why?

Consider this a Leatherman Tool but for your big head!

Bilt uses an injection-molded composite shell structure with a clean overall shape. The Techno 3.0 has an internal sun-visor, but what really boggles my mind is the built-in Sena Bluetooth comm system. Amazing.

The integrated Sena system is pre-installed—so you don’t have to worry about struggling to install speakers, a microphone, and the control unit into your helmet.

Bilt offers sizing all the way up to 5XL, and 4 color choices.
