ETA Q4 OF 2025 TO Q1 2026

Designed for off-road and dirt forms of racing, the versatile and ultra-lightweight BR8 Carbon can be used in multiple configurations including standard, left or right side forced air, left or right 3/4 top forced air, or top forced air. Utilizing an innovative kit system (included with the helmet), racers can customize the BR8 Carbon to adapt to different forms of racing and seat configurations providing the ultimate flexibility in one model. The BR8 Carbon features an aerodynamic front duckbill, Double Screen Anti-Fog (DSAF) insert to create a positive visor seal and prevent shield fogging, and rear-facing Venturi airflow vents that prevent dust from entering the helmet while still allowing forced air to be introduced into the helmet. The BR8 Carbon features a unique air chamber system that evenly distributes airflow around the head regardless of the top air configuration used. The helmet can be used with or without ear cups.
