Bike helmets for a 61 cm head

A 61 cm head is 24.0 inches. Of the 115 helmets we track, 111 fit you — and here is the exact size to order in each brand.

111 helmets that fit a 61 cm head

Sorted by price. The size in the third column is the one to order — it is the size whose range is centred closest to 61 cm.

43 models are marked “snug”: 61 cm sits in the last 0.75 cm of that size, so the retention dial will be near its limit. It fits, but there is little room to spare.

So close

These models miss 61 cm by less than 1.5 cm. Head shape and padding thickness can swing a fit by roughly that much, so they are worth trying on in a shop — but we will not tell you they fit.

Is 61 cm a big head?

Yes. 61 cm (24.0 in) is in the top few percent of adult heads, and it is where most brands stop: only 97% of the helmets we track go that far. That is the whole reason this site exists — the founder wears 63 cm and got tired of reading “one size fits all” on helmets that did not.

Measuring, in one minute

Wrap a tailor's tape (or a piece of string you then measure against a ruler) around your head about 1-2 cm above the eyebrows and above the ears — the widest part. Keep it level and snug, not tight. If you land between two numbers, use the bigger one: a helmet's dial can take up slack, it cannot create room.

61 cm is 24.0 inches. American size charts are usually written in inches, European ones in centimetres, and both describe the same measurement.
