Yellow Motorcycle Helmets

A yellow motorcycle helmet stands out from a distance, and it rarely comes on its own: most of the helmets in this selection pair yellow with black, grey or anthracite, and one comes in neon yellow. Most are NZI helmets, in full-face, open-face and modular form, with one from By City, for riders who want their helmet to be noticed or to match a yellow bike.

Why yellow catches the eye

In daylight the human eye is most sensitive to shades between green and yellow, and yellow also contrasts with grey tarmac, green verges and the dark paintwork of many cars. Next to black, the contrast is even stronger: it is the same pairing used on hazard signs and roadworks markings. If you want the maximum, fluorescent yellow outshines ordinary yellow when the light is poor; you will find it among our neon motorcycle helmets.

Yellow with black, with grey or almost all yellow

• Black and yellow: the Combi 2 Sierra modular, the Combi 3 Orbe (with anthracite), the Go Rider Motion full-face, the Rolling 4 Sun Diana open-face in matt yellow and black or the Wake Stream Booster, which adds red. It is the option that works best with dark riding kit.
• Grey and yellow: the Combi 3 Solid modular, the Go Rider Stream Quadri or the Ringway 2 Connected open-face, for a more understated look.
• Yellow as the main colour: the Vitesse II full-face in neon yellow and the Pasarela open-face helmets by Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada, Constelación in yellow and Margaritas in yellow and pink.
• Lime: the Rolling 4 Sun Diana in lime and titanium, a yellow with a hint of green.

Matching your bike

Yellow has a long history on motorcycles: Yamahas wore it with the speed block stripes, it is the colour of many Ducati Scramblers and of Suzuki's motocross bikes. On a dark or white bike, a yellow helmet adds the splash of colour; with a yellow one, look for a helmet shade close to the tank's, because two different yellows side by side stand out. If you like a dark base, our black motorcycle helmets include many more black designs with coloured details.

For young riders, the Activy Yellow Bones children's full-face is also listed among our kids' helmets, and every other colour and style is in our motorcycle helmets section.
