I'm totally new to these stuffs and me and my girl would be purchasing an MC soon. Might as well buy one helmet for safety. What are the pros and cons of using a modular against a full face helmet and vice versa? What model would you recommend under zeus our price range is 3.5k-5.5k.

Salamat po!!!

zeus modular 3600 series or 508w
3600 series costs 3.8k up
508w costs 3k up

pros of modular:
you can just flip it up to have better ventialtion
trendy

cons of modular:
upon crash, the jaw part has a bigger chance of breaking up first
heavier compared to most full face helmets

if you want to be safer or if you like to travel a lot, get a full face lid.

Majority says that a full-face helmet is much safer than using a modular helmet. I for one would be using a full-face helmet if not for my glasses. But since Im wearing glasses, I chose to buy the modular type because its much easier for me to put on/take off the helmet.

full face helmet is alot safer than modular because the chin guard is fully integrated with the shell while modular is sometimes latched in by just a piece of plastic. if you are to decide to get a full face helmet and you use eyeglasses get a helmet that have an earpiece groove for eyeglasses like AGV.

if you don't like the wind whistling on your ear as you go, get a full face helmet... if you don't like to have a sweaty face, get a modular...

kung city driving lang naman. i prefer Modular helmet. mas comfortable gamitin at hindi mainit gaya ng fullface lalo pag naka stop ka sa traffic or stoplight

Modular(flip-up) helmets does not give you the protection a full-face can... it has almost the same level of protection sa 3/4 helmets....

people use modular for easier access to eyeglasses at kung me kausapin ka hindi mo kailangan tanggalin ang buong helmet...

since ang reason mo to get a helmet :

Might as well buy one helmet for safety.

get yourself a full-face and some good riding gear....... remember:

dress for the slide and not for the ride.... :C

I started riding just a few months ago. Naatract kagad ng modular attention ko, pero ang dami ngang nagsasabi na hindi safe ang modular and its heavier. Pero naging at ease ako sa modular. Sana lang may Snell @ DOT certified na modular, cause i havent seen one yet.

Full Face..

para saken full face..

full face helmet will give you much protection upon crash than modular helmet will do. Modular will give you much comfy than full face helmet will do.
kaya bili na ng dalawa para tigisa kayo ng girl mo

very competative na ang kwality ng mga modulars ngaun kasi nag eevolve na sila...they are using state of the art materials and design..... safe sila kagaya din ng mga fullface helmets....... better go sa branded na modulars wag yung mumurahin....

pre wala ba yun mga zeus nyan o pang abot kayang mga brand

yun may groove para sa salamin

Even Shoei's Modular (Multi-Tec) stated na it wont protect you lower face as well as a full face...

like somebody stated somewhere in the forum: "when pro riders starts using modular in the tracks, then i'll be convinced that it is as safe as full face.."

at the end of the day, its your choice sir....

every helmet has its purpose...why use it on a track?whats the use?

not all helmet use on track is good ..... manufacturer spend lots of money to get endorsement of the rider to promote their product.... still we choose the helmet that is more comfortable,less noise,weight,availability of parts

for me kung city driving modular kung long distance full face. I think hindi ka naman mag papatakbo ng sobrang bilis sa city kaya modular could protect you from a not so hard collision. usually naman pag binungo ka titilapon ka or matutumba unlike pag high speed iikot babalibag and sasadsad ka sa lupa.

Mahirap pumili :crazy:
depende mo nalang sa pag-gagamitan
pag city driving or day driving. Modular
pag long ride or night (kasi sa gabi madalas ang aksidente). Full face Helmet

HTH:)

ayan ung helmet na caberg modular yan pero di naman ganun ka pinsala ibig sabihin matibay din ang modular pero kung long ride advisable talaga ang full face

well quoted sir:clap:

ive witnessed some crashes on rides i've previously joined with. the rider is very well protected on a full-face helmet.

mahirap na sir mag-take chance. we don't know when it will happen and its the only face we have :)

i own a gdr modular..

cheap helemt

pero saved my head 3..(papalitan na)-

all were bad crashes 2 overshoot un..tilapon at balibag sa cemento..

as for modulars..oks lang kung sa city driving lang...hehehe

i've always used full face helmets when i started riding mcs...when modular helmets came out of the market, i was enticed to get one because of its features....what i didn't like though was the sound of air that leaks though which cause the helmet to be noisy even when running above 60 kph....

mas trip ko ang full face kaso eto yung isa sa mga problema ko ngayon, balak ko na kasi magpalit from modular to full face kaso walang magkasya, ZEUS 508W size XL kasi gamit ko ngayon tapos sinubukan kong i-fit yung mga full face ng ZEUS & SPYDER pero wala talagang magkasya, pag pinilit ko ang sakit sa ulo & tenga, parang pinipisa, hirap ng malaki ang ulo (literal) last hope ko ang HJC, sana may magkasya na saken :?

newbie questions..

since bago pa lang ako magbibike ok kaya modular? hindi sila ganun katibay? marketing lang? pawisin kasi ako and nagsukat nga lang ako ng helmet pawis na (sorry sa mga bibili or susunod na susukat pinunasan ko naman ng maigi:D)

and hindi kaya yung mga bago mas ok na technology? nakita ko lang yung shark (800?). ang ganda pero wala sa budget. :D

oks lang ang modular,bsta bibili ka ng orig..

try mo zeus my modular models sila
sa motoworld meron around 2k-5k depende sa model

safe ba?oo namn bsta orig ha..
pero mas mgnda pa din full face kasi wala ung temptation na ibukas ung lid..in case na mag spill ka ng open ung lid...aun..gasgas face..

kaya mag full face ka na lng..mas mura pa..
pawisin?hmmm...
buksan mo na lng ung visor....

wait di ako promotions ng zeus ha..un kasi mura..
kung tatanung mo kung anung helmet ko..hihih
xmpre...




naka gdr lng ako..hihihi nag iipon pa for a zeus helmet e..

thanks sir...

may tanong lang na nabuo sa aking isipan...

mas maganda kaya yung mga mas mahal na modular? like modular ng caberg? kinakabahan kasi ako sa mga nagsasabi na hindi safe e. :D

hindi naman ganun kalaki gusto kong kunin na MC and hindi pa naman ako magpapatakbo ng matulin kaya iniisip ko ok na modular. ipon na lang konti para may "false" sense of security na mas matibay ang mahal. :D

naresearch ko lang...

Full face

A full face helmet covers the entire head, with a rear that covers the base of the skull, and a protective section over the front of the chin. Such helmets have an open cutout in a band across the eyes and nose, with a plastic face shield (which may be clear or tinted) that generally swivels up and down to allow access to the face. Many full face helmets include vents to increase the airflow to the rider.

The significant attraction of these helmets is their protectiveness. Some critics dislike the increased heat, sense of isolation, lack of wind, and alleged reduced hearing of such helmets. Full face helmets intended for off-road use sometimes omit the face shield but extend the visor and chin portions.

Studies have shown that full face helmets offer the most protection to motorcycle riders because 35% of all crashes showed major impact on the chin-bar area. Wearing a helmet with less coverage eliminates that protection — the less coverage the helmet offers, the less protection for the rider.

Modular or "Flip-up"

A hybrid between full face and open face helmets for street use is the modular or "flip-up" helmet, also sometimes termed "convertible" or "flip-face". When fully assembled and closed, they resemble full face helmets by bearing a chin bar for absorbing face impacts. Its chin bar may be pivoted upwards (or, in some cases, may be removed) by a special lever to allow access to most of the face, as in an open face helmet. The rider may thus eat or drink without unfastening the chinstrap and removing the helmet.

Modular helmets are designed to be worn in the closed position for riding, as the moveable chin bar is designed as a convenience feature, useful while not actively riding. The curved shape of an open chin bar and face shield section can cause significantly increased wind drag during riding, as air will not flow around an open modular helmet in the same way as a three-quarters helmet. Since the chin bar section also protrudes further from the forehead than a three-quarters visor, riding with the helmet in the open position may pose increased risk of neck injury in a crash.

As of 2008, there have not been significant scientific studies of modular helmets to assess how protective the pivotable or removable chin bars are. Anecdotal evidence suggests that at least some greater level of protection exists beyond that for an open face helmet. When testing modular helmets for compliance with DOT, Snell, ECE, and other standards, however, only the open face helmet criteria are certified.


so.. baka mapilitan akong magfull face.. :whistle:

sagot sa pawis sa helmet... BALACLAVA

sagot sa what helmet... 4 ME OK MODULAR KC PDE MAG YOSI WHILE CRUISING..

hjc xxl ang kumasya sa akin. yun xl ng spyder and zeus super sikip sa kin.

i prefer a full face helmet. feeling ko mas safe ako and mas comfy ako mag motor kapag ito suot ko compared sa Jet type ko na helmet

full-face would be my choice. I owned Zeus full face and modular. mas magaan yung full-face at mas maganda ang fit. sa modular mas may tendency ng umabante mukha mo sa helmet during front crash kasi asa malapit sa panga yung pads niya. yung sa full face malapit sa bibig mo kaya sa front crash pipigilan nito na magkiss ang nguso mo sa unahan ng helemet. I'm planning to change my modular to full-face soon. :)

meron sir, a former clubmate. he was using hjc symax back then. may he rest in peace.

RIP din sir. One example is enough for me. thanks sir.

meron sir, a former clubmate. he was using hjc symax back then. may he rest in peace.

bakit ron anong nagyari sa kanya?? baka ndi naka lock yung mechanism ..... hjc symax isa sa mga magandang modular helmet in the market .....

baka naman sobrang hataw sya kaya namatay. kahit siguro naka full face, malamang patay parin sya sa pangyayari. a helmet is designed to protect your head. secondary na ang face. usually ang cause ng death is brain damage from the impact. cosmetics lang naman ang face. puede ka ma hospitalized for a broken nose or jaw. pero neither is life threatening.
kaya kung ako tatanungin, it dosen't matter kung full face o modular ang helmet mo. mas importante is kung ano ang riding habits mo. higher speed = more damage upon impact. city driving man o byahe, di naman necessary ang humataw.
