Introduced in November 2007, the SHARP Motorcycle Helmet Safety Rating Scheme aims to save lives of riders involved in motorbike accidents. The first scheme of it’s kind worldwide, the SHARP (Safety Helmet Assessment and Rating Programme) aims to give a totally independent rating on the levels of protection crash helmets will provide in the event of an impact.
The helmets are rated on a scale of 1-5 depending on their performance in a series of laboratory tests. While all crash helmets on sale in the UK must offer a minimum standard of protection, it has been found that there are real differences in how well the various helmets perform in the tests. The rating shows how much over the minimum required standard the helmets perform.
The scheme is designed to give riders an easy to understand guide to which helmets will offer them the best protection.
One thing which has become apparent, looking at the tables below, is that the more expensive helmets are not necessarily the best performing ones. There are quite a few helmets costing under £100 which score either a 4 or a 5 in the tests.
These are the Sharp safety ratings released to date. As and when new ratings are released, I will update this information so it is kept up to date.
9th April 2009
Following an update email this morning I have amended the following list to include the ratings published on an additional 28 helmets.
