Here’s the list of the most expensive road bike helmets. You can find a table overview at the end of the article. The Giro Aries Spherical is one of the safest if not the safest helmet within its category. It also has the highest suggested retail price at 300 USD.

With more of a focus on aerodynamics and ventilation, road bike helmets are often much lighter and racier looking, too. Still, the goal is protection, and modern road helmets feature innovative designs and technologies to keep riders safe out on the road.

The lab has not tested every model on the market or included in our review, but many of the models listed above have been rated. In fact, our best overall road bike helmet, the Giro Aries Spherical, is the top-rated model for protection that they have tested to date.

The helmets we tested vary in price from $80 up to $300. While spending top dollar may get you more premium finishes, better ventilation, and fancier features, even the least expensive helmets we tested will serve you well if you’re operating on a tighter budget.
