The helmet has been designed with safety in mind, featuring a highly resistant thermoplastic shell and multiple-density EPS lining. The double-D ring retention system ensures the helmet stays securely fastened while you ride.

The K1 also boasts an integrated ventilation system, complete with a chin guard and forehead air intake vents, as well as rear exhaust extractors located at the spoiler to keep you cool and comfortable during your rides.

In terms of visibility, the helmet offers an impressive 190-degree horizontal view and vertical view optimised for sport riding. The wind tunnel-tested aerodynamic spoiler is optimised for racing position to reduce drag and improve stability at high speeds.

Additionally, this helmet features an extra quick-release metal visor mechanism for tool-free removal when needed. And if that’s not enough, the micro-opening visor system allows you to adjust airflow without lifting up the whole visor.
