Carbon Fibre Construction

The HP6 EVO-II RD Carbon uses a high-strength carbon fibre shell engineered to provide exceptional protection without unnecessary weight.

The reduced weight helps minimise neck and shoulder fatigue during long sessions, while the rigid carbon construction provides the structural strength required for FIA 8860-2018 competition.

Rear Duct Ventilation

The RD configuration incorporates a rear ventilation duct designed to improve airflow management through the helmet.

Combined with the helmet's ventilation channels, this helps extract warm air and improve cooling during demanding circuit sessions.

The rear duct also contributes to the helmet's aerodynamic profile, helping manage airflow around the rear of the shell.

Advanced Liner

An advanced multi-density liner provides effective energy absorption while maintaining a comfortable and secure fit.

The ergonomic interior is designed to remain comfortable during prolonged periods of competition without compromising protection.

Wide Eyeport & Visor

The HP6 EVO-II RD features a wide eyeport providing excellent peripheral visibility, particularly important when racing in close proximity to other cars.

The visor system provides clear optical performance while maintaining the sealing and structural characteristics required for professional motorsport.

HANS/FHR Compatible

The helmet is supplied with factory-installed HANS/FHR anchors, allowing it to be paired with a compatible head and neck restraint system.

Communication Ready

Integrated communication provisions allow compatible radio and intercom equipment to be installed neatly within the helmet, making the HP6 EVO-II RD suitable for professional race teams.
