Modular Motorcycle Helmets

Shop modular motorcycle helmets in Canada at DRIVEN, from HJC, LS2, Scorpion, AGV, SMK, and more. A modular helmet, also called a flip-up, combines the full coverage of a full face helmet with a hinged chin bar that lifts out of the way, so you can talk, drink, or grab air at a stop without taking the helmet off.

Modulars are the go-to for touring and commuting, where the convenience of flipping the chin bar up pays off at every gas stop and red light. Most are built with an internal drop-down sun visor and are ready for a Bluetooth communicator, which makes them a natural fit for long days and group rides. The trade-off versus a one-piece full face is a little extra weight and road noise from the hinge mechanism, so if you ride long distances, look for a composite shell to keep the weight down.

On safety, look for DOT or ECE certification just as you would on a full face. If you want to legally and safely ride with the chin bar raised, choose a dual-homologated P/J rated helmet, which is tested as both a full face and an open face. For fit, the helmet should sit snug with even pressure and no movement, and the chin bar should latch securely without shifting the helmet.
