DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Suomy TX-Pro Neil Hodgson Replica K6TX0012 is built from the ground up around a Tricarboco composite shell — a hand-laid combination of carbon fibre, aramid fibre and fibreglass that delivers exceptional torsional rigidity and impact resistance at a weight of just approximately 1,230 g ±50 g. This is a helmet with genuine racing DNA, wrapped in the iconic graphics that paid tribute to one of the most celebrated Superbike riders of the 2000s.
Key Features
- Tricarboco shell: carbon fibre, aramid and fibreglass construction for outstanding impact resistance and minimal weight (approximately 1,230 g ±50 g)
- Two shell sizes ensuring a precise, proportionate fit across the full size range
- Panoramic visor field — 90° vertical, 210° horizontal — with optical Class 1 clarity and variable-thickness scratch-resistant lens
- Pinlock 70 MaxVision insert included as standard, providing fog-free vision in rain and temperature changes
- Hydrocool interior lining: breathable, fully removable and washable, with emergency quick-release cheek pads and intercompatibility
- Three front air intakes, internal EPS air channels and a rear exhaust vent for continuous, heat-free airflow
- Double-D-ring retention system — the benchmark fastener trusted by professional racers worldwide
Shell Construction and Build Quality
Where many helmets at this price point rely on a single composite blend, the TX-Pro uses Suomy's proprietary Tricarboco laminate. Carbon fibre carries the primary structural load, aramid fibre absorbs and disperses impact energy laterally, and fibreglass binds the composite into a shell that resists deformation under both direct and oblique impacts. The result is a shell that sits in two sizes — covering XS through to XXL — so the geometry remains correct for every head circumference rather than being stretched by padding alone. Torsional stability, which matters enormously during a sliding impact, is a particular strength of this construction method.
Aerodynamics and Visor
The TX-Pro's profile was developed with wind-tunnel input. The aggressive, sport-biased shell geometry minimises turbulence at the helmet's trailing edges, reducing neck muscle load during sustained high-speed riding or track sessions in a tucked position. Stability in racing posture is maintained without the helmet fighting the airflow. The panoramic visor opens a 90° vertical and 210° horizontal field of view — genuinely useful in fast corners and when checking mirrors at lean. Tool-free visor removal and a lateral lock system mean visor swaps take seconds, and the included Pinlock 70 MaxVision insert eliminates fogging without compromising the wide optical field.
Interior Comfort and Retention
The Hydrocool liner uses high-performance technical fabrics that actively wick perspiration away from the skin, keeping conditions inside the helmet stable on long road rides and intensive track days alike. The full lining — cheek pads and crown — is removable and machine washable. Cheek pads incorporate an emergency quick-release system for first-responder access. The interior profile accommodates spectacle wearers, and speaker pockets are pre-cut for intercom systems. Retention is via a double-D-ring chin strap, which provides a precise, rattle-free fit and meets the requirements of race organisers at circuit level.
Ventilation
Three generously sized front intakes feed air directly into channels moulded into the EPS liner, drawing a continuous flow across the crown. Warm air exits through a rear exhaust vent, preventing heat build-up during spirited riding in summer conditions. The system works passively — no moving parts to jam or break — making it equally dependable on a trackday or a long touring run.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Suomy TX-Pro Neil Hodgson Replica K6TX0012 is a universal full-face helmet suitable for road and track use. Select your size using the head circumference guide below.
| Size | XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Head circumference (cm) | 53–54 | 55–56 | 57–58 | 59–60 | 61–62 | 63 |
For a sport-oriented fit, choose the smaller size if your measurement falls between two options — a helmet that is slightly firm on first fitting will relax to the correct pressure once the liner has conformed to your head shape.
