KYT R1R Racing Helmet Plain Gloss White Y6R100W3

Built from a tricomposite shell that blends carbon fibre, aramid and fibreglass into a single, refined structure, the KYT R1R in plain gloss white sets a high standard for materials and construction in its class. Wind-tunnel refined and developed with input from professional racing, this is a helmet engineered to perform at both road and track — and the clean, luminous gloss white finish ensures it looks the part at every speed.

Key Features

• Tricomposite shell (carbon, aramid and fibreglass) delivers exceptional impact resistance at an approx. weight of just 1,450 g ± 50 g (size M)
• ECE 22.06 certified — meets the latest and most demanding European homologation standard
• Racing visor with roto-translation mechanism, metal racing lock and tool-free visor change for trackday convenience
• Pinlock MaxVision 70 included as standard — optical class 1 lens with scratch resistance and UV protection
• Hydrocool interior lining is fully removable and washable, with quick-release cheek pads designed for emergency removal
• Three shell sizes across the size run ensure a genuinely optimised fit rather than a one-shell compromise
• Ready for glasses (Wearable Glasses system) and prepared for Bluetooth intercom speaker installation

Shell Construction and Build Quality

The R1R's defining attribute is its tricomposite outer shell. KYT combines carbon fibre for stiffness-to-weight ratio, aramid fibres for resistance to penetration and energy absorption, and fibreglass to bind and complete the laminate. The result is a shell that is notably light for its protection level — approximately 1,450 g ± 50 g in size M — without compromising structural rigidity. Three discrete shell sizes across the XS-to-XXL range mean the geometry remains proportionate and the liner thickness consistent regardless of which size you choose.

Visor System

The racing visor fitted to the R1R operates on a roto-translation mechanism, which moves the visor outward as it rises to prevent it from dragging across the sealing gasket — the same principle found on premium competition helmets. Retention at speed is handled by a metal racing lock, providing a positive, rattle-free closure. Swapping visors requires no tools, so changing from a tinted to a clear lens between sessions takes seconds. The included Pinlock MaxVision 70 anti-fog insert works with an optical class 1 visor that also carries scratch-resistant and UV-protective coatings. If you require prescription eyewear, the R1R's Wearable Glasses accommodation allows most standard frames to sit comfortably beneath the liner.

Interior Comfort and Ventilation

Inside, the Hydrocool liner manages moisture efficiently through rapid wicking, keeping the environment against the skin cool and dry on extended rides. The lining is fully removable for washing and treated for hygiene. Cheek pads feature a quick-release mechanism specifically designed to facilitate safe helmet removal in an emergency situation — a detail that reflects the R1R's serious safety credentials rather than its price point.

Multiple intake vents and integrated internal channelling work with an aerodynamic rear spoiler to draw air through the helmet and exhaust warm air efficiently. The spoiler simultaneously reduces turbulence at higher speeds, contributing to a calmer, more stable ride at both road pace and on track.

Fitment and Compatibility

The KYT R1R is a full-face helmet approved for road use under ECE 22.06 and suited to trackday and racing-oriented applications. It is available in sizes XS through XXL. To find your correct size, measure your head circumference at eyebrow level. If your measurement falls between two sizes, select the larger of the two.
