DescriptionThe whole story▼
Constructed from a hand-laid tri-fibre composite shell blending carbon, aramid and fibreglass, the KYT KX-1 Race GP in Plain White (Y6KXX0W3) is a professional-grade full-face helmet engineered to the same FIM homologation standard demanded by riders competing in MotoGP and WSBK. The clean gloss-white finish is as much a statement of intent as it is a blank canvas — precise, purposeful and utterly uncompromising in its construction.
Key Features
- FIM Racing homologation alongside ECE 22.06 approval — cleared for international sanctioned racing and road use in one lid.
- Tri-Fiber composite shell (carbon, aramid/Kevlar fibres and fibreglass) delivers exceptional structural rigidity at approximately 1,400 g ± 50 g (size M), keeping fatigue low on long race stints.
- Wind-tunnel-developed aerodynamic profile with a drag coefficient of Cx 0.33 straight-line and Cx 0.39 in lean — stable and vibration-free at maximum track speeds.
- 92° vertical and 210° peripheral field of view gives an unobstructed picture through every corner, braking zone and overtake.
- Pinlock MAX Vision 120-compatible visor with a metal visor mechanism, race-speed visor-change system and anti-fog preparation.
- HydroCool interior liner wicks moisture and regulates temperature, keeping concentration sharp during intense, high-heat sessions.
Shell Construction and Materials
The KX-1 Race GP shell is produced in three sizes (S, M, L shell sizing corresponding to helmet sizes XS through XXL) so the EPS liner always sits in a correctly proportioned shell rather than one oversized mould. The tri-fibre layup — carbon for rigidity, aramid for impact energy absorption, fibreglass for controlled flex — distributes crash forces optimally across the entire shell. This is not a carbon-look cosmetic finish; the composite is structural throughout.
Ventilation and Comfort
Five intake vents and two exhaust outlets create a genuine through-flow channel that draws heat away from the rider's head during sustained track use. The removable HydroCool cheek pads include an emergency quick-release system for first-responder access, and the helmet is hydration-system ready with routing for a drinking tube during race stints. The double-D-ring chinstrap closure is the benchmark fastening for racing use, meeting the retention requirements of every major sanctioning body.
Visor System
The metal visor mechanism eliminates the flex associated with plastic mounts and ensures the visor seats precisely against the aperture seal at any speed. The race-change system allows visor swaps in seconds in a pit-lane environment. The included clear visor and Pinlock MAX Vision 120 insert are ready to fit straight from the box, providing immediate anti-fog performance on cold mornings or in humid conditions.
Plain White Finish
The gloss plain white finish (Y6KXX0W3) suits race teams seeking a clean base for custom liveries and riders who prefer a neutral, professional aesthetic that carries through from trackday to circuit. The gloss lacquer is durable and consistent in depth, giving the helmet a high-quality visual weight that matches its physical performance credentials.
Fitment and Compatibility
The KYT KX-1 Race GP is approved for road use under ECE 22.06 (UNECE 22-06) and for international competition under FIM Racing homologation. It is available in sizes XS through XXL with the following head circumference guidance:
- XS: 53–54 cm
- S: 55–56 cm
- M: 57–58 cm
- L: 59–60 cm
- XL: 61–62 cm
- XXL: 63 cm
The fit is intentionally sport-tight for maximum stability at speed. Spectacle wearers should note that a glasses cut-out is present, though the race-oriented fit may limit compatibility depending on frame dimensions. Bluetooth communication systems may be fitted using universal mounting solutions; the KX-1 Race GP does not feature a dedicated KYT SRL integration port.
