Helmet Parts
About Helmet Parts
Cheek pads flatten, shields scratch and small tabs break, and on most helmets those pieces can be replaced without buying a new helmet. This category holds the replaceable parts for specific helmets.
Find the part by helmet model first. Shields, cheek pads, liners, rear neck cuffs, spoilers and sun shields are sold for named models, as the listings here show with names like Variant, MR3 and ATS-1. Within a model, check the size. Cheek pads and liners come in sizes and sometimes thicknesses, and they change how snug the helmet feels, so pick the size the maker lists for your shell.
Internal sun shields and shields must match the helmet's mounting system. What cannot be replaced is the shell and the foam liner beneath the padding: if either is cracked, crushed or has taken a hard impact, the helmet should be replaced, not repaired. Related categories are Visors, Visor Inserts and Helmet Accessories.
Brands here include THOR, ICON, AGV, 6D Helmets and HJC. For care products, see Helmet Care & Cleaning. If you are unsure of the model, this guide on avoiding fitment mistakes explains how to check before you order.
FAQs on replacement helmet parts
How do I know which replacement part fits my helmet?
Find the helmet's model name and size on the label inside the shell or in the manual, then match both to the listing. Many parts are also tied to a model generation or shell size range. If the listing does not name your helmet, assume it does not fit.
Can I mix cheek pads or liners from different helmets?
No. Pads and liners are shaped for one helmet's interior, and the wrong ones can leave gaps, press unevenly or alter the fit. Use parts made for your exact model, and replace left and right pads together.
What helmet parts cannot be replaced?
The outer shell and the foam impact liner under the comfort padding are not repairable. If either is cracked, dented or has been through a hard impact, replace the whole helmet. Replaceable pieces are things like pads, shields, peaks, vents, neck cuffs and straps.
How do I replace a helmet shield?
Most shields release with a small tab or screws at the pivot points. The steps differ by helmet, so follow the instructions in the manual or from the maker. Check that the new shield closes fully and seals against the gasket before riding.
Does a worn cheek pad matter?
Yes. As pads compress, the helmet gets looser, which can let it shift in a crash and increases noise. If the helmet feels looser than when new, or the foam is flat and cracked, replace the pads or check whether the shell size is still right.
