CRASH - more info
CRASH test 30 dirt bike helmets each year to a similar test Standard as the Australian Standard (AS1698), plus 2 angular impact tests. They then give each individual test a star rating as well as the helmet an overall star rating. That way you can see how each helmet performs comparatively for each test, as well as overall. Check it out!

CRASH aim to identify the best performing helmets so that us riders can buy the best helmet that we can afford and also push the importers to import the best helmets available. Basically CRASH aim to make riding safer by letting us see which helmets rate better! Don't you think it's strange that there's star rating on things like washing machines but not on helmets?
Unfortunately not many riders know about CRASH and the great work that they do. As a result we get superseded models long after they're released in the U.S.
CRASH's website is simple and to the point, so have a read and check out the Test results.
Screenshot of the star ratings page by CRASH is shown below.
Did you find your helmet in CRASH's star rating list?
