DescriptionThe whole story▼

Built from the inside out with KYT's ADT-Advance thermoplastic shell, the R2R Plain in matte black delivers a level of construction quality that belies its accessible price point. The shell's refined finish is deep and consistent — no graphics, no logos fighting for attention — just a purposeful, all-matte aesthetic that works as convincingly on a naked bike as it does on a tourer or sports machine.

Key Features

  • ADT-Advance thermoplastic shell: high impact resistance, balanced weight, and two shell sizes for a genuinely optimised fit across the size range
  • ECE 22.06 certified — current European safety standard for road use
  • Dual visor system with scratch-resistant, UV380-protected outer visor, central locking, and tool-free quick-release mechanism
  • Integrated drop-down sun visor, operated easily from the side even with gloves on
  • Pinlock MaxVision 70 insert included as standard, minimising fogging in cold or wet conditions
  • Hydrocool interior lining: moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating, removable and washable, with glasses-friendly padding, intercom compatibility, and a quick-release cheek pad system
  • Micrometric micro-ratchet fastening — secure and fast to operate with gloves

Shell Construction and Build Quality

The ADT-Advance thermoplastic compound is engineered to absorb impact energy effectively while keeping the overall helmet weight manageable over long rides. KYT produce the R2R shell in two sizes, meaning smaller head sizes are not simply wearing a scaled-down version of a large shell — the geometry is proportioned correctly for each head circumference group. The result is a helmet that sits evenly, distributes pressure consistently, and does not produce the top-heavy feel that single-shell designs can create.

The matte black finish itself is applied with the same care as the gloss and graphic variants in the R2R range. The surface is uniform, resistant to minor contact marks, and avoids the fingerprint-prone appearance of some matte finishes — a detail that matters on a helmet used daily.

Dual Visor System and Optics

The R2R Plain uses a scratch-resistant outer visor with UV380 protection, seated behind a central locking mechanism that holds the visor firmly at any set position. Swapping visors requires no tools and takes seconds, so carrying a tinted visor for sunny days remains a practical option rather than an inconvenience. The integrated sun visor drops smoothly via a side lever and is sized generously enough to be genuinely useful rather than merely present. Combined with the included Pinlock MaxVision 70 insert, fogging is effectively eliminated in typical British and European riding conditions.

Interior Comfort and Ventilation

KYT's Hydrocool lining uses moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating fabric throughout the helmet's contact surfaces. The cheek pads and crown liner are fully removable and machine washable, and the cheek pads incorporate a quick-release system for easy removal — useful both for cleaning and for emergency responder access. Glasses wearers are accommodated by discreet channels cut into the cheek pad foam, allowing standard frames to sit cleanly without pressure points.

Ventilation is handled by two large front intake vents, internal ducting channels, and a rear spoiler-integrated exhaust port. The airflow path is designed for everyday and touring use, keeping the interior temperature stable and visor fogging to a minimum even at moderate road speeds.

Fitment and Compatibility

The KYT R2R Plain Matte Black is a universal full-face helmet suitable for any rider and motorcycle combination. It is available in sizes XS through XXL. Use the head circumference guide below to select the correct size — if your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger.
