ECE 22.06 Certified Adventure & Trail Motorcycle Helmets — ADN Helmets
Adventure or trail helmets are designed for motorcyclists who aren’t content with just one type of terrain. They combine the protection of a modular helmet with off-road styling and a removable visor for mixed-use riding: on the open road, forest tracks and country lanes. They are the preferred choice for those who undertake long journeys where tarmac gives way to dirt tracks.

Available in plain colours (Black Matt and Nardo) and in four special limited-edition graphics.
Frequently Asked Questions
about ADVENTURE helmets
What is an adventure motorcycle helmet?
An adventure or trail helmet is a modular helmet with a visor designed for mixed-use: roads, tracks and country lanes. It is characterised by its removable visor, which protects against the sun and branches when riding off-road, and by its flip-up chin guard, which allows you to open the helmet at stops without taking it off. It is the preferred choice for motorcyclists who combine tarmac and dirt on the same route.
Can I use the ADN Duale on the motorway?
Yes. The Duale is ECE 22.06 P/J approved, which certifies that it can be used on any type of European road, whether the chin guard is closed or open. With the chin guard closed, it offers full protection at motorway speeds. The visor is removable if you prefer a more aerodynamic setup for long-distance riding.
What kind of off-road riding is the Duale Duale designed for?
For light off-road use: forest tracks, dirt tracks and non-technical country lanes. It is not an enduro or motocross helmet – for that, you need a specific motocross helmet. It is the right choice for mixed road and off-road rides.
What is the difference between ADN Duale and ADN Audace?
Both are modular helmets with a flip-up chin guard, but they have different designs. The Audace is a modular road helmet with an aerodynamic spoiler and integrated sun visor, designed for urban riding and touring. The Duale has a peak visor and is designed for both road and off-road use. If you mainly ride on tarmac, go for the Audace. If you ride on both tarmac and dirt, go for the Duale.
Does the ADN Duale come with a Pinlock and a sun visor?
Yes. It features a built-in quick-release sun visor, and the visor is compatible with Pinlock 70 (DKS603, sold separately), which prevents fogging in cold or damp conditions — particularly useful on mountain routes or on rainy days.
What is the difference between an adventure helmet and a trail helmet?
In practice, they are one and the same — the terms are used interchangeably in the market. Manufacturers refer to them as adventure, trail or enduro helmets depending on their brand positioning. Technically, they all share the same features: a removable peak, a flip-up or fixed chin guard, and a design suited to both road and off-road use. The ADN Duale fits into this category with a versatile approach: equally at home in the city, on long-distance roads or on forest tracks.

How much does a certified adventure trail helmet cost?
You can find an ECE 22.06 certified trail helmet from around €130. The ADN Duale costs €129.95 in plain colours and €169.95 in the limited-edition Dakar versions. The price difference is purely aesthetic: both share the same shell, P/J dual certification, removable peak, sun visor and Pinlock 70 preparation.
What is the best value-for-money trail helmet?
The best value trail helmet is one that combines ECE 22.06 certification (ideally P/J dual certification), a removable peak, a sun visor and Pinlock preparation without a sky-high price. The ADN Duale ticks all those boxes from €129.95, with the P/J certification that lets you ride legally with the chin guard open.
If you want to buy a good, affordable trail helmet, the ADN Duale is one of the few with ECE 22.06 P/J dual certification under €150: it’s available from €129.95 in plain colours (Black Matt and Nardo) and at €169.95 in the limited-edition Dakar graphics. Both versions are technically identical — same helmet, same removable peak, same sun visor and same Pinlock 70 preparation — only the graphics change. Hard-to-beat value for money for mixed tarmac and dirt rides.
