A fixed chin bar defines the full face helmet category. BigBike carries genuine AGV, Caberg, NIC, ILM and LS2 in Saigon. Sort the range by head shape, face shield setup, buckle type and certification labels. Confirm fit in person before comparing Pinlock inserts and cheek pads.
BigBike weighed the helmets with their face shields: Caberg Drift Evo II Carbon gloss-black L 1,476g, AGV K1S L 1,554g, and NIC N01F M 1,305g. NIC N02 S came to 1,252g and is aimed at women or men with smaller heads. Do not rank models by these figures because the sampled sizes differ. Weight does not reveal pressure points, so an in-store fitting still decides the fit.
Western riders often have intermediate oval heads. Drift and AGV K1S Asian Fit share that shape. K3 and ILM MF510 follow it. Avalon X and NIC N01 are round oval. During an in-store try-on, NIC N02 size S was far too tight on a 57 cm head, so women and men with smaller heads still need to test it. A full face helmet reduces head and chin injury; it does not remove the risk.
AGV K3 and NIC N01F carry ECE 22.06 on their rear labels, while the AGV box also shows QCVN 2:2021/BKHCN. Caberg Avalon X prints ECE 22.06 on the face shield label and has QUATEST 3 at the rear. NIC N01 carries DOT and QUATEST 2, not ECE. ILM MF510 and MF509 carry DOT only. QUATEST is the Vietnam certification mark. Ask the shop to show the LS2 FF800 label before buying.
Pinlock contents vary by model. Drift has its Pinlock insert fitted, while MF509 includes an insert in the box. NIC N02 ships with a photochromic shield, N01F offers one in larger sizes, and neither has a drop-down sun visor or a Pinlock insert. NIC N01 also omits the insert. Avalon X and ILM MF509 use a drop-down sun visor. Choose by the shield setup you will use, since box contents differ.
K3 combines an eyeglass channel with cheek pads in different thicknesses, while AGV K1S Asian Fit has the same channel through its comfort liner. The channels avoid prying the cheek pads apart. Frame width remains the limit, especially around the temples. Different pad thicknesses let the shop correct uneven cheek pressure without replacing the whole helmet. Bring the glasses used most often for an in-store check.
ILM MF510 and ILM Z503 have a removable liner for cleaning. The AGV box label gives 60 months, provided the QR code is activated within 30 days of purchase. Caberg and NIC carry 24 months, while ILM carries 12 months. Ask the shop for the LS2 term by model. Terms differ by brand.
BigBike has operated since 2014 at 79/30/52 Au Co, Hoa Binh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. Staff weigh helmets with face shields, record try-on pressure by head circumference, open boxes for Pinlock inserts, swap cheek pads, and inspect rear labels. This reveals what sizing charts miss.
