Whether you’re landing tricks at the skatepark, hitting urban spots, or cruising dirt jump trails, a skate & BMX helmet is your first line of defence against head injuries. Unlike many MTB helmets or road helmets, these helmets feature a hard ABS outer shell with an EPS foam liner, giving them exceptional durability for repeated low-speed impacts — common in skate and BMX riding.

A classic skate-style silhouette offers full coverage around the back of your head, while multiple vent holes keep air flowing to prevent overheating. Many modern designs also integrate sweat-wicking liners, adjustable fit systems, and even MIPS® technology for added rotational impact protection.

Why a dedicated Skate & BMX helmet matters:

• Street and park protection – built for the type of impacts these sports often involve.
• Stylish, timeless design – a helmet that looks as good as it performs.
• Versatile use – suitable for skateboarding, BMX, scootering, and dirt jumping.

At BikesOnline, we stock top-tier skate & BMX helmets alongside our full range of protection gear, including gloves and body armour, so you can ride with complete confidence.

What’s the difference between skate/BMX helmets and road bike helmets?

Skate/BMX helmets focus on durability and multi-impact resistance, while road helmets prioritise ventilation and lightweight performance.

Do I need MIPS® in a skate/BMX helmet?
