Dirt Bike Helmets: The Most Important Piece of Gear You’ll Buy
Riders of all kinds can agree on one thing: You need a good helmet. Off-road / enduro riders, motocross racers, and Sunday cruisers alike - all need a good dirt bike helmet! This can be said for many crucial pieces of dirt bike gear, but the helmet is the ultimate piece of safety equipment that every dirt bike rider needs. We are talking about protecting your head, after all.
Fortunately, you’ve come to the right place. Here at BTO Sports, we carry an unrivaled selection of helmets for motocross, enduro, or any other type of riding.

So, first comes safety - then comes style. Again, we’ve got you covered. We carry hundreds of motorcycle helmets that are both Snell approved and DOT approved to accommodate the safety needs, stylistic choices, and budget requirements for riders of all kinds. You’ll find cutting edge safety technologies like The MIPS® Energy Management System, emergency cheek pad release systems, and more. These technologies were developed to provide riders with the utmost safety for their most prized possession (their brains) in an ever-evolving sport where safety is paramount.
What is The MIPS® System?
MIPS®, or Multi-Directional Impact Protection System, is a cutting-edge safety technology engineered to minimize the risk of brain injury during angled impacts. Helmets equipped with MIPS® feature a low-friction layer between the shell and the liner. This innovative layer allows the helmet to move slightly upon impact, redirecting rotational forces away from the head. By mimicking the brain’s natural defense mechanism, MIPS® technology significantly reduces the rotational stress transmitted to the brain, offering enhanced protection in real-world riding conditions.
How Do Emergency Release Systems Work?
Emergency quick release systems - sometimes called EQRS for short - are the latest in cutting edge off-road helmet safety technology. Many modern helmets will come equipped with a tab that can be pulled on in the event of a fall, to allow the cheek pads to drop out from the helmet without putting any additional strain on the neck and spine of a potentially injured rider.
With the cheek pads pulled out, the tension inside the helmet is immediately released, allowing the helmet to come off without a fight. Beat in mind that these can be the most crucial of moments after a crash, and the sensitivity of the neck and spine is a paramount safety consideration. First responders are trained to look for this feature in helmets and familiar with the functionality.
Definitely keep an eye out for this feature when shopping for a new helmet, as it only adds to the value and safety of the helmet.
