If you’re on the hunt for the best cruiser motorcycle helmets you’ll find there are a lot of contenders. And for good reason, there are simply tons of great options out there these days.
So, when I see a cruiser motorcycle rider out without a good helmet, I cringe. They’re one small accident away from a serious injury or worse. There’s no reason you can’t find a good helmet to add to your motorcycle gear selection that works for you these days. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and stylish.
Below you’ll find the helmets that I know to be of high quality. You’ll find both full-face helmets and open-face helmets on this list. While I’ll always advocate for a full-face over an open-face, I get the appeal of the open-face helmet, and I own one myself for those especially nice days.
The options below are safe, stylish, and reasonably priced. Let’s dive in.
1. Bell Bullitt Helmet
The Bell Bullitt Helmet is a killer old-school-inspired full-face helmet with modern construction.
The helmet features a carbon fiber composite shell that comes in three sizes, a multi-density EPS liner, a removable and washable anti-bacterial interior that’s made of microsuede fabric, a padded chin strap with a D-ring closure, good intake vents across the brow, an exhaust vent, and a Magnefusion shield closure system.
The helmet also comes with a five-year warranty. The helmet is DOT and ECE-approved.

8. Bell Moto-3 Helmet
You might not see the Bell Moto-3 helmet as a cruiser lid, but take the peak off this bad boy and it’s a true killer of a cruiser helmet in my mind.
The helmet features classic Bell Moto-3 styling, it has a super lightweight fiberglass shell, that shell comes in three different sizes to keep the profile low on your head, and there are four different sizes of EPS. Add to that a removable and washable anti-microbial terrycloth liner and the aforementioned five-snap visor and you have a real winner.
