DescriptionThe whole story▼
Constructed from a tricomposite shell that layers genuine carbon fibre, aramid fibres, and fibreglass, the KYT R1R in Carbon Zone Orange is engineered for riders who refuse to compromise on materials. The striking orange-and-black Zone graphic is born from racing DNA and arrives with ECE 22.06 homologation, making it equally at home on track days and spirited road rides.
Key Features
- Tricomposite shell — carbon fibre, aramid, and fibreglass construction delivers exceptional rigidity at a sub-1,500 g weight
- ECE 22.06 homologated for road and track use
- Optical Class 1 racing visor with UV 380 protection, scratch resistance, metal racing-lock system, and tool-free quick-change mechanism
- PINLOCK MaxVision 70 insert included — virtually eliminates fogging in all conditions
- Hydrocool interior lining — removable, washable, and moisture-wicking for extended high-intensity sessions
- Quick-release cheek pads for emergency first-responder access
- Bluetooth and intercom ready — speaker pockets pre-cut into cheek pads
- Suitable for glasses wearers via the Wearable Glasses / Ready for glasses design
Shell and Build Quality
The R1R's defining characteristic is its tricomposite shell architecture. By combining carbon fibre's exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio with the energy-absorbing resilience of aramid fibres and the cost-effective structural contribution of fibreglass, KYT have produced a shell that keeps the size-M helmet to approximately 1,450 g ± 50 g — a meaningful advantage over full-fibreglass alternatives on long sporting stints. The shell's aerodynamic profile incorporates an integrated rear spoiler that actively improves head stability at speed, reducing neck fatigue on fast circuits and motorway stretches alike. Multiple precision air intakes feed internal ducting channels that exhaust heat efficiently, while the Double-D retention ring closure — the undisputed choice of serious riders — ensures the helmet stays exactly where it should under load.
Visor and Visibility
The racing visor operates via KYT's Roto-Translation mechanism, which simultaneously rotates and translates the lens as it opens, keeping the seal tight at every intermediate position. The metal racing-lock system holds the visor firmly closed against buffeting at speed. Tool-free removal means swapping to a tinted or mirrored lens at the circuit takes seconds rather than minutes. The included PINLOCK MaxVision 70 insert fits directly to the visor's twin-pin mount, providing a double-pane thermal barrier that eliminates condensation without restricting the wide field of view.
Comfort and Interior
KYT's Hydrocool liner is cut to accommodate the contours of a sporting riding position, channelling perspiration away from the skin to keep you cool and focused through long trackday sessions. The lining removes entirely for machine washing, and the hypoallergenic cheek pads are designed with the emergency services' quick-release tabs so that first responders can remove the helmet safely after an incident. Riders who wear glasses will appreciate the dedicated eyeglass grooves integrated into the cheek pad and shell geometry — a detail that distinguishes the R1R from helmets that merely tolerate spectacles.
Fitment and Compatibility
The KYT R1R Carbon Zone Orange (part number Y6R10008) is a universal full-face racing helmet and is not vehicle-specific. It is suitable for road use, track days, and circuit racing wherever ECE 22.06 approval is recognised. Refer to the size guide below to select the correct shell size.
