Find Your NEXX Helmet Size
Getting the right fit is one of the most important parts of choosing a motorcycle helmet. Start by measuring your head circumference, then use the NEXX helmet size guide below to find your recommended size.
How to Measure Your Head
Use a soft tape measure and measure around the widest part of your head, approximately 2cm above your eyebrows, passing just above your ears and around the back of your head.
Keep the tape level and comfortably snug without pulling it tight, then record your measurement in centimetres.

How Should a New Motorcycle Helmet Fit?
A new helmet should feel snug and secure all the way around your head, without creating painful pressure points. The cheek pads should hold your cheeks firmly and the helmet shouldn't move independently when you turn or shake your head.
Remember that a new helmet will normally feel firmer than one you've been riding in for some time, as the interior settles with use.
Your head measurement is a useful starting point, but circumference alone doesn't determine whether a helmet fits properly. Head shape and the internal shape of the individual helmet can make a difference too.
If you're between sizes, experiencing pressure points or simply aren't sure, don't guess — we're happy to help.
