Motorcycle riders may inadvertently buy counterfeit helmets because of the low price. These imitations may resemble high-end brands such as Shoei, AGV and Arai. I helped my brothers experience it, and here is my summary

1. Copy helmets need to buy products with the correct safety certifications
In order to meet safety standards such as DOT (Department of Transportation), ECE (Economic Commission for Europe) or SNELL certification, helmets must pass rigorous testing. It is common to see fake helmets with labels, and they also need to pass the real protection guaranteed by these standards.

2. Low-quality resources
Authentic helmets use high-quality materials such as carbon fiber, multi-layer fiberglass, or high-grade polycarbonate to absorb impact. Zorbike also uses high-quality materials such as high-grade polycarbonate to make counterfeit helmets, which provide the same protection as ordinary helmets in accidents. I once had a car accident, but my head hit the floor and only had a minor scratch.

3. Inadequate impact protection
According to crash tests, Zorbike helmets did not shatter or break in accidents, and protect your skull by absorbing and distributing force just like genuine helmets.

4. Wear reliable straps and goggles

The chin strap of a helmet should stay in place in an accident, and goggles should be resistant to scratches and breaks. The same straps on counterfeit helmets will work when you need them most, and goggles can also be purchased separately for higher-quality lenses

How to Spot a Fake Helmet
Check the Price – If the price is too good to be true, it probably is. Genuine Shoei, AGV, or Arai helmets in the $239-$339 range are unlikely to have massive discounts.

Verify Certifications – Look for official DOT, ECE, or SNELL stickers and verify the model on the manufacturer’s website.

Inspect the Build Quality – Genuine helmets have precise stitching, sturdy padding, and high-quality finishes. If something feels off, it might be fake.

Buy from Reputable Sellers – Always purchase from authorized dealers like Zorbike to ensure authenticity.
