Why We Like O'Neal
O'Neal doesn't get the hype of some newer brands, but they've been making motocross gear longer than anyone in America and it shows in the quality-to-price ratio. The Hardwear line is one of the most durable gear sets in the sport, and the Mayhem sits right behind it with lighter weight and great mobility. The Element line gives budget-conscious riders a full setup that doesn't cut corners where it counts. Their RDX boots are comfortable out of the box with almost no break-in, and the helmet lineup from the 10SRS carbon down to the 3SRS covers every price point with proper safety certifications. O'Neal also makes solid youth gear and has quietly built one of the better value lineups in motocross. Jim O'Neal still rides and races Baja at 70-plus years old, and that hands-on testing mindset runs through every product.
FAQ
-
O'Neal gear generally runs true to size or slightly generous, especially in their Element and Hardwear pants. The Element line has a looser, more relaxed fit that works well for riders who don't want a tight athletic cut. The Mayhem jerseys can run slightly small according to some riders, so consider sizing up if you're between sizes. Boots fit true to size. We recommend checking the O'Neal sizing chart on our site before ordering.

Hardwear is O'Neal's premium line with the most durable construction, 4-way stretch pro-lite fabric, and the heaviest build quality. Mayhem is the mid-range line offering lighter weight, good breathability, and a less restrictive fit at a lower price. Element is the entry-level line with a relaxed, free-flowing fit, solid build quality, and the most affordable pricing. All three include jerseys, pants, and gloves.
-
Yes. O'Neal's helmet lineup covers a wide range from the 10SRS carbon at the top to the budget-friendly 3SRS and 1SRS. All models exceed DOT and ECE safety standards. The 10SRS features a carbon or fiberglass shell and is impressively light for the price. The 5SRS is a strong mid-range option. O'Neal helmets are known for offering solid protection and features at prices below what comparable helmets from larger brands cost.
-
All three are full-lineup brands that cover riders head to toe at competitive prices. O'Neal tends to edge ahead on durability and value, especially in the Hardwear line. Fly has a stronger helmet flagship in the Formula, and Thor has a deeper athlete roster and heritage story. O'Neal's relaxed fit on the Element line appeals to riders who find other brands too tight. We carry all three at BTO Sports, so it comes down to fit, style, and which tier matches your budget.
-
Yes. O'Neal offers a full youth lineup including helmets, jerseys, pants, gloves, boots, and protection. Youth gear is available across their main apparel tiers and is purpose-sized for younger riders. The pricing makes O'Neal one of the most accessible options for families gearing up junior riders without sacrificing quality.
-
Durability is one of O'Neal's strongest selling points. The Hardwear line in particular is built to take serious abuse and holds up over multiple seasons. The Mayhem line is lighter but still well-constructed, and riders consistently praise its longevity. The Element line is more basic but still delivers good durability for the price. Across the board, O'Neal builds gear that lasts.

Jim O'Neal is the founder of O'Neal and has been racing motorcycles since the early 1960s. He started the company in 1970 by selling parts and gear out of a converted bakery van at Southern California races. He holds the record for the most class wins in SCORE Baja racing history and still rides and races regularly in his 70s. His hands-on involvement in product testing is a core part of the brand's identity.

Yes. O'Neal is one of the few motocross brands that offers a genuinely wide size range. Jerseys go up to 4XL, and pants are available up to size 42 in most lines. The Element line in particular is popular with larger riders because of its relaxed, non-restrictive fit. If you've had trouble finding MX gear that fits comfortably in bigger sizes, O'Neal is one of the best options available.
