The Kabuto standard
Proven, not promised
Rotational impact protection, fog-free vision and race homologation, each tested by the company or governing body that sets the standard.
-
Rotational protection
Built for angled impacts
A low-friction layer between the comfort padding and the EPS liner allows 10–15 mm of movement in all directions in an angled impact, designed to help redirect rotational motion away from the head. The F-17 was the first MotoGP™ helmet equipped with Mips®.

-
Anti-fog vision
Fog-free in any weather
Every Kabuto helmet ships with a clear Pinlock® 120XLT insert. It fits inside the shield between two pins, and its moisture-absorbing lens and airtight seal work as double glazing, so condensation never gets a chance to form.

Kabuto technology
Engineered in Japan
Every Kabuto shell starts in the wind tunnel and the lab. Three technologies shape how it rides, how much it weighs and how it protects you.
-
Wake Stabilizer
Kabuto’s patented system controls airflow around the helmet while riding and decreases the load. Wind tunnel research and development allows us to continually enhance our technology as aerodynamics and air management play an increasingly important role in helmet function and safety.
-
Advanced Composite Technology
Kabuto’s original A.C.T. (Advanced Composite Technology) shell, which is the combination of hyper glass fiber and, high-tensile and high-modulus organic fiber. Designed for each model and each regulation, Kabuto develops the optimal layers-and-resin combination, which results in light weight and enhanced strength.
-
Safety through innovation
Kabuto is committed to innovation through the use of advanced materials and patented technologies. By researching the latest developments and integrating them into our designs, we create products that offer superior performance, durability, and user-focused functionality.
