DescriptionThe whole story▼
Built to satisfy the demands of the world's most competitive circuits, the Suomy S1-XR GP in Plain Black Matt is a FIM-homologated full-face race helmet developed in Italy with direct input from Ducati Corse factory rider and MotoGP World Champion Pecco Bagnaia. Its matte black finish signals no-nonsense intent, while the Tri-Fiber composite shell and ECE 22.06 certification confirm it meets the highest standards whether you are on track or on the road.
Key Features
- FIM homologation and ECE 22.06 (UNECE 22-06) approval — qualifies for official race competition at the highest level.
- Tri-Fiber composite shell combining Kevlar/aramid fibres, carbon and fibreglass delivers a class-leading balance of rigidity and impact absorption at approximately 1,400 g (size M, ±50 g).
- Five air inlets and three air outlets create a ventilation circuit engineered to keep your head cool during sustained high-speed sessions.
- Optical class 1 scratch-resistant visor paired with an included Pinlock Max Vision 120 anti-fog insert eliminates misting in all conditions.
- Emergency-release cheek pads allow first responders to remove the helmet safely without compromising the rider's neck.
- Hydration-system ready (Camel-Bag prepared), supporting endurance racing and long-distance riding without compromise.
Shell and Protection
Suomy's Tri-Fiber construction layers Kevlar/aramid fibres alongside carbon and fibreglass in a carefully tuned composite matrix. The result is a shell that disperses impact energy efficiently across its surface — keeping shell weight to approximately 1,400 g in size M without thinning the protection where it counts. The double-D-ring retention system secures the helmet positively under the chin and holds its position even during the most demanding track manoeuvres.
Aerodynamics and Ventilation
The S1-XR GP's aerodynamic silhouette was refined with high-speed stability in mind. At motorway and race speeds the shell generates minimal lift and resists buffeting, reducing rider fatigue across a full race distance. The ventilation architecture — five inlets channelling air through the shell and three rear exhausts expelling warm air — sustains airflow throughout the interior without introducing turbulent noise that degrades concentration.
Visor and Visibility
The optical class 1 visor offers distortion-free vision across the entire field of view, critical when reading apexes at race pace. The quick-release mechanism allows the visor to be swapped in seconds in the paddock — useful when changing from a tinted to a clear lens for an evening session. The included Pinlock Max Vision 120 insert clips inside the visor to form an insulating air pocket, preventing fogging when transitioning between cool and warm air or riding in damp conditions.
Comfort and Everyday Usability
Despite its unambiguously track-focused character, the S1-XR GP integrates practical daily-use details. The fully removable and washable interior lining maintains hygiene across a full season, while the spectacle-friendly cut allows glasses wearers to fit frames with a firm but manageable race fit. Bluetooth communication systems can be fitted using universal mounting solutions, though Suomy does not specify a proprietary SRL integration for this model. The Camel-Bag routing keeps a hydration tube accessible without modifying the shell.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Suomy S1-XR GP is a universal helmet approved for road and track use under ECE 22.06 (UNECE 22-06) and holds FIM homologation, making it eligible for use in FIM-sanctioned racing events. It is not vehicle-specific and fits any rider requiring a premium racing full-face helmet. Select your size using the head circumference guide below.
