If you have been searching for a brand new helmet to start of your 2012 motocross season, look no further - O'Neal has recently unveiled their line of 2012 helmets. Just as one might expect, not only are these helmets comfortable and durable, but their graphics and design patterns also set them apart from some of the other helmets seen on the track today.

The O'Neal 5 Series of helmets is one of the most innovative and safest helmets ever manufactured by the company. They are all constructed of polycarbonate shells that include removable, washable inner liners and cheek pads. An expanded ventilation system is also utilized to increase airflow and keep you cool during races. Moreover, all the helmets available in the O'Neal 5 Series meet or exceed DOT, ECE 22/04 and AS standards, so you can be sure you are getting a helmet that is safe enough for professional motocross use and abuse.

First up in the O'Neal 5 Series is the Villain helmet. With a flat white base color, this helmet features bright, retro-inspired graphics that really make the helmet pop. The familiar O'Neal MX logo is displayed prominently across the side, so you can let everyone know what kind of gear you rely on.

Next is the O'Neal 5 Series Crypt helmet. Perhaps the wildest looking of their entire 2012 line, the Crypt helmet is for that extreme athlete who really wants to make his or her presence known on the motocross track. With bright splashes of pink, green, and yellow, and a large O'Neal logo staring down competitors from the side, you'll be the one everyone is talking about during the next moto.

For those who want to display their U.S. pride, there is no other choice than the O'Neal 5 Series Blazer helmet. Featuring the classic red, white, and blue colors in a youthful, fiery motif, this helmet lets you pay tribute to America without sacrificing that hip, sleek appearance that is often seen with today's riders.

If you are really looking to intimidate the competition, check out the O'Neal 5 Series Chief helmet - the design is just plain scary. With a glossy black base, the helmet features a one-eyed skull on the side, complete with Native American headdress. Streaks of red highlight the bottom rim of the helmet, and Native American feathers grace the top of the helmet's front visor.

For an industrial look, riders are offered the O'Neal 5 Series Toxic helmet. This helmets sports several different O'Neal logos, all superimposed over a background of black and yellow. It is also available in black and white.

Another wild entry in their 2012 line of helmets, the O'Neal 5 Series Zombie helmet is not for the faint-of-heart. It features a black background with streaks of purple and blue, and a large, disgusting zombie creeping around the side of the helmet. The phrase “Brain Eaters” on the back of the helmet lets your competitors know you mean business.
