8. Bell Moto-9 Pace, $399.95
You can never go wrong when giving someone the gift of better head protection, especially if their current lid looks like a castoff prop from Easy Rider. Bell’s Moto-9 Pace is a good replacement choice that boasts a lightweight composite “Tri-Matrix” shell with Bell’s Velocity Flow Ventilation system for maximum cooling. The Moto-9 also features a fully ventilated, EPS-lined chinbar designed to handle frontal impacts, and the helmet’s interior boasts an X-Static XT2 silver liner that is removable and washable. The Moto-9 also features Bell’s Magnefusion Emergency Removal System (MERS) cheekpads to allow the helmet to be extracted more carefully in case a possible head or neck injury has been sustained. The helmet’s padded chin strap features the common D-ring closure system but also boasts a unique magentic strap keeper, which makes it easier to secure the end of the strap while wearing gloves. Bell offers the helmet with it calls an industry-leading 5-year warranty. The Moto-9 is available in sizes XS-XXL.
