All-black full face style
The Ghost is a matte black full face motorcycle helmet with no graphics: a smooth black shell, a sport-bike rear spoiler and your choice of a tinted or mirrored second shield. If you want a simple black motorcycle helmet that goes with any bike and any gear, this is it.
DOT certified protection
The aerodynamic shell is made of lightweight composite poly-alloy and is DOT FMVSS-218 certified for street, highway and daily commuting. A double D-ring chin strap with a strap holder keeps it secure, and a clearcoat finish protects the matte black paint. The DOT label is on the back of the shell.
Comfort and airflow
Five points of ventilation at the chin, forehead and rear move air through the helmet. The hypoallergenic, antimicrobial nylon liner and cheek pads are removable and washable, and the intermediate oval fit suits the most common head shape.
2 shields: clear plus your color
The flush-fit, side-coverless face shields are optically correct, compound-curved, scratch resistant and block UV rays. The clear shield comes installed for night, dusk and rain, and you pick the second one:
- Tinted: sunny days
- Iridium: bright sun, with a blue mirrored finish
- Chrome: bright sun and glare, with a silver finish
- Gold: bright sun, with a gold finish
Replacement GDM GHOST shields are sold separately.

My husband likes this helmet a lot, and it takes a beating (he's not very careful with it, attaches it to his backpack with carabineers, bangs it on stuff, etc) but it's held up quite well. The one big issue though is we cannot find fun tinted visors that fit this. We've tried at least 3 different brands that have the same hookup, but the helmet width isn't the same and gdm only offers clear and smoke.
Got XL and it was still small and really tight. Should've got 2xl.
This helmet is not only stylish but the ventilation is great and I like that it came with a cover and both shields. Such a steal for the cheap price!
Very good helmet. Fits tight and has a cool look. Great quality. The measurements were accurate for sizing. The air circulation vents work great and the inner padding is easily removable. The face shield is adjustable and I love the fact that the smoked shield was included for free. Swapping the shields are easy and quick. Overall an outstanding product for the price.

Works well just seems to have more wind sound on the left side
I purchased a large size helmet and it fits great! I was a little leery because of everyone else’s experience/ review about stuff breaking or improper size! I myself haven’t had any problems yet! The only complaint I have is the helmet strap doesn’t really an adjustable strap kinda! The strap itself is long and when I’m wearing it, there’s a lot of the material left over just hanging.
I love the fit of my helmet and Bluetooth headset fits in perfectly
According to their measurement table, the correct size was size L, I ordered a larger size thinking it would be looser, but it is super tight so I only have to remove the pads or return the product, I don't know yet.
Awesome if you love your helmet fogging up so you can’t see anything anytime you stop. Felt very tight at first before I understood that was typical, feels comfortable now
This helmet saved my life I got into accident awhile back and while I was in the ditch the helmet stayed on didn’t feel anything to the head it protected me like it was supposed I would recommend this helmet to any first time rider and will invest in another one
Great helmet. Wind can get a little loud but very dealable for the price.
It's very comfortable, it looks really cool and makes me feel really cool to wear. You can switch between the clear or darkened visors, and it's overall a very comfortable fit. There's room for a mic and room for earbuds, and perfect for a mount and GoPro.
This Helmet is a great value for the money. The size is correct from ordering, plus ordered extra visors. Great looking Helmet tooling down the road on a 2021 Street Glide Special.
Looks good feels good.
This is a great helmet for the price, I was seeing allot of negative reviews on here about wind leaking in, and foam inserts coming out, I've experienced none of that. I would recommend this helmet, and am happy I found it. Thanks to the seller for this product
Wiped out in it about two weeks after I bought it. My head smacked the ground face first and I literally felt nothing. When I hit, one of the air vent covers broke off, but I prefer to ride with those closed anyway so I will probably be filling them in with something. The only thing I would like to improve on this helmet would be tighter hinges. You can’t half cock the glass and ride on the highway or the interstate. It will just fall closed. Beyond that, it’s exceedingly comfortable, fairly quiet, and very solid. A good buy for the price!
Cómodo, ligero
I didnt believe the size difference. I ordered just to review this item. Please order a size smaller than what you think is your size. I ordered an xl and this thing is huge. Does not fit! Lens does not seal all the way either. It is very very light weight, very thin padding. It did come with a clear and smoked lens. The strap is way to long and doesnt tighten up all the way.
This helped is very fancy considering the price. It feels really high quality and has a very comfortable fit.
Helmet is very comfortable. I can slip it on without any trouble and it sits nice and snug against my cheeks. The fit is excellent, I don't have any trouble with it wobbling on my head or blocking my view. I love that it has the two visors. It's a simple but sexy helmet!
The chin piece was not attached in any way. It literally fell off as I was taking it out of the box. After seeing other similar reviews I immediately put it back in the box and requested a refund. This thing is humongous anyway. If you are going to buy it you probably want to get it a size or two smaller than what you think you want.
It is very sturdy and a little heavy but not too much, fits my head perfectly and is super easy to put on! This is my very first helmet ive ever bought and after doing research and seeing the good reviews this helmet definitely takes the cake for a low priced really nice helmet.
The helmet looks awesome, feels awesome and good quality. However, the sizing chart seems a little bit bigger than normal. I measured my head got a size of XL, and then ordered a X-L just to find out I should’ve gotten the large. Pretty upsetting bc now I gotta wait to ride. Overall great helmet, but I hope the company does well in helping me get a new one.Update: got large, still didn't fit. Emailed RideGDM they helped me and worked it out perfectly. Amazing customer service.
Bought this helmet in 2016 and wrecked my bike (and myself) against a guardrail. Smashed my face, broke my jaw and lost a leg, literally. The helmet cracked where my jaw hit but saved my life overall. 10/10 will buy again when I get back on my bike.
I wear this helmet as a daily on my motorcycle. It's has cooling vents built in. Also the helmet is for lowkey riders. This helmet material is built to withstand alot of force.
Boyfriend was wrong. He said I'd never be able to find something online without trying it on. Glad he was wrong. I have a very small head. I considered getting a child sized large but this one works. Even accommodates my long hair being tucked in it. Love not having the wind rushing in my ears and the bugs in my face. Helps when riding in the rain too, lol!Cool styling. Already changed out the shield, pretty easy. Gets a bit warm when we're at a stop, but I just flip open the shield to let some air in. I would buy again
fit as expected, nice and firm. very good breathability and sleek look.
