DescriptionThe whole story▼
The KYT R2R in Octane Red carries the current ECE 22.06 certification — the most stringent homologation standard in European road use — giving you verifiable, independently tested protection wrapped in a striking, race-inspired graphic. Whether you ride daily commutes, long touring miles, or spirited weekend runs, this helmet is built to keep pace with every kind of riding without compromise.
Key Features
- ECE 22.06 certified — the latest and most demanding European safety standard for motorcycle helmets
- ADT thermoplastic shell offered in two shell sizes for a more precise, proportional fit across the size range
- Scratch-resistant main visor with UV380 protection, tool-free removal, and a central locking mechanism for a rattle-free seal
- Integrated side-operated sun visor eliminates the need to carry tinted lenses separately
- Pinlock MaxVision 70 insert included in the box — effective anti-fog protection in cold and wet conditions
- Hydrocool interior liner: breathable, removable, and fully washable, with glasses-friendly channels and intercom-ready cut-outs
- Micrometric quick-release buckle operable with gloves on
Shell Construction and Safety
KYT moulds the R2R shell from ADT thermoplastic, a material chosen for its ability to absorb and distribute impact energy efficiently while keeping overall mass in check. Producing the shell in two distinct sizes — rather than a single universal mould — means the helmet sits correctly on smaller and larger head shapes alike, rather than simply appearing over- or under-sized. This attention to geometry improves both fit retention and the effectiveness of the EPS liner beneath.
The ECE 22.06 standard, which came into force across Europe in 2023, demands more rigorous impact, rotational force, and visor penetration tests than its predecessor. Every R2R sold bears this mark, so you are not relying on older or self-certified data.
Dual-Visor System
Clear visibility in variable light conditions is handled by a layered approach. The outer visor is scratch-resistant and blocks UV radiation up to 380 nm. A central closure mechanism removes any play at speed, while the tool-free release system lets you swap visors at the roadside in seconds. Sliding the integrated sun visor down from a lever on the left side of the shell transforms the helmet for bright motorway sections or afternoon sun without requiring a stop. The included Pinlock MaxVision 70 insert seats into prepared visor pins and eliminates condensation in cold or damp weather — a feature that genuinely matters on a full-season helmet.
Hydrocool Interior Liner
The interior of the R2R is lined with KYT's Hydrocool fabric, engineered to draw moisture away from the skin and dissipate heat during sustained riding. The cheek pads and crown liner are fully removable and machine washable, so the helmet stays fresh across a long season. Slim channels on either side of the cheek pads accommodate standard glasses arms without pressure points. Emergency quick-release cheek pads allow first responders to remove the helmet safely in an incident, and the liner cut-outs are shaped to accept most aftermarket intercom speakers and microphone arms.
Ventilation
Two large front intake vents draw air through internal channels that run across the EPS and exit via a rear spoiler outlet. The channelled flow reduces heat build-up at the crown and helps prevent visor misting from the inside — complementing the Pinlock insert on cold days. The result is a helmet that remains comfortable on slow urban runs as well as sustained motorway cruising.
Retention System
The micrometric buckle at the chin allows single-handed, glove-on adjustment to within a few millimetres of the ideal position. It locks positively with an audible click and releases without fumbling — a practical detail that matters every time you park.
