Which manufacturer produces Yamaha helmets?
1 Answers
Yamaha helmets are OEM-produced by Shanghai Hehui. Below is expanded information about motorcycle helmets: Types of helmets: Full-face helmet (Fullface helmet), provides comprehensive head protection with ventilation ports to ensure air circulation; Off-road/Motocross helmet, commonly used in motorcycle cross-country races, typically without visors and featuring popular designs; 3/4 helmet (Open face, three-quarters or 3/4 helmet), similar in design to full-face helmets but without chin protection. The popular Air Force motorcycle helmets also fall into this category; Half helmet (Half helmet), also known as Harley helmets, lacks protection for the chin and back of the head. Banned in some regions, it is considered a 3/4 helmet; Modular or "Flip-up" helmet, allows the chin guard to be flipped up completely, derived from full-face helmets. Helmet shell materials: PC+ABS plastic alloy, an engineering plastic with strong impact resistance and good dimensional stability. It offers improved strength and toughness over ABS, along with better low-temperature impact performance. HJC's IS-17 shell uses this material; Fiber-reinforced plastic, commonly known as fiberglass, is lighter and stronger than ABS but harder to manufacture, resulting in lower production volumes and higher costs. Marushin's BFF-B3 shell is made of this material; Carbon fiber material, very strong, lightweight, and high-tech, making it expensive. Top-tier helmets from premium brands often use carbon fiber, such as AGV's PistaGP46. Current helmet standards: From a safety perspective, when a helmet suffers a strong impact, the fatal head trauma is not from the initial surface impact but from the secondary impact between the brain and skull. The soft foam lining inside the helmet helps mitigate this impact to protect the head.
