Actually the answer is it depends. Many of the 20 and 30 dollar range helmets scored as high as expensive ones. A 59 dollar helmet has top scores over very expensive options. Some of the really expensive helmets online are counterfeit and don't work at all so it's better buying a cheap actual helmet than expensive fake. Buy at a bike store and not Amazon if you want a four hundred dollar carbon fiber helmet.
