My Take
The AMP-1 is a more substantial helmet option for older or larger riders who want full-face styling and additional chin coverage.
Its polycarbonate shell, EPS liner and ABS chin guard create a robust construction, while the ventilation and relatively low weight help keep it comfortable during active riding.
For Amped riders who fit within the 54–62cm size range, the AMP-1 is a strong-looking and practical full-face helmet option.

Amped AMP-1 Helmet Size Guide
To select the correct size, measure around the widest part of the rider’s head. The measuring tape should pass above the eyebrows and ears and around the fullest point at the back of the head.
Choose the helmet using the rider’s actual head measurement rather than age alone.
Helmet Size Head Circumference M – Medium 54–58cm L – Large 58–62cm Head measurements should be used instead of age when selecting a helmet. Head shape can also affect how a particular helmet fits.
Measuring exactly 58cm? This measurement appears within both size ranges. Fit can vary according to head shape, so check both the measurement and the helmet’s secure positioning before use. Do not choose a loose helmet simply to allow growing room.
How to Measure the Rider’s Head
1. Use a Flexible Tape
Use a soft measuring tape that can sit flat and comfortably around the rider’s head.
2. Measure the Widest Part
Measure above the eyebrows and ears and around the fullest point at the back of the head.
3. Repeat the Measurement
Measure a second time to confirm the result, then compare it with the size table above.
How Should the AMP-1 Fit?
The helmet should feel secure and evenly fitted around the rider’s head without creating painful pressure points.
- The helmet should sit level rather than tilted backwards.
- The inner lining should make even contact around the head.
- The helmet should not move freely when the rider gently shakes their head.
- The chin strap should be securely fastened without causing discomfort.
- The chin guard should not obstruct the rider’s vision or movement.
- The rider must be able to see clearly in every direction required for the activity.
Correct fit is essential: a helmet that is too loose may move during use, while one that is too tight may cause discomfort and pressure points.
