]]>AERO-R2 is an aero road helmet with "aerodynamic performance" cultivated in the world of track competitions and "comfort" that allows you to concentrate on racing even in the toughest road races.
It is a practical helmet that demonstrates high aerodynamics with its shell structure, which was derived through repeated data analysis and wind tunnel testing, also with the rectifying effect of the "Air Tunnel Structure (PAT.P)" that utilizes airflow inside the helmet.
The newly released "AERO-R2 Mips" is the model equipped with a system called Mips (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) on AERO-R2.
The Mips system consists of a low-friction layer attached to the inside of the helmet. In the event of a crash, the low-friction layer is designed to move slightly within the helmet, helping to redirect the force away from the head. This is intended to reduce the risk of brain injury.
The graphic is based on the design used by Aleix Espargaró, a Kabuto supported rider and Mips ambassador who competes in MotoGP™, the world's premier motorcycle road race.
While competing in MotoGP™, Aleix also enjoys cycling and trains with some of the world's best cyclists.
The graphic design features a black base with dazzle camouflage all over the helmet and Aleix's favorite color, pink, as an accent. The top of the helmet also features Aleix's personal number, "41," in a bold layout.
■Aleix
(Born: July 30, 1989 / Spain / Aprilia Racing)
Category: MotoGP™.
Born in Granollers, Spain, 34 years old, he started competing in the 125cc class of the World Championship in 2005. After riding in the 250cc class, made his MotoGP™ debut in the premier class midway through the 2009 season. 2017 saw him move to Aprilia Racing Team Gresini, and from 2022 he has been racing for Aprilia Racing. In 2022 he took his first win at the 2022 GP of Argentina. In 2023, he won one sprint race and two final races to finish 6th in the annual ranking.

]]>Kabuto will release "FLEX-AIR", the lightweight model which outstanding feeling and cooling performance.
Based on the concept that "lightweight is the ultimate sphere", a sphere-based exterior design was designed in pursuit of "lightweight".
The shape has been stripped down to the bare minimum, and the shell has been hollowed out in order to realise the development concept of lightweight, even if only slightly. Furthermore, a weight reduction of 8.8g has been achieved by reviewing the component structure of the conventional top model gram by gram.
In addition to weight reduction, the "floating structure" and "KBF-2 adjuster", which have been proven in previous models, have been adopted for comfort performance.
In the floating structure*, the newly equipped Y-shaped top pad "Air Flow Pad" reduces the contact area between the helmet and head, improving ventilation performance and contributing to weight reduction.
The riding position and air hole angle have also been optimised to provide efficient airflow to cool the head.
*Air routes are secured by floating the helmet from the head, furthermore the helmet is less likely to come into direct contact with the head, reducing discomfort during prolonged wear.
The KBF-2 adjuster, featuring fine adjustment and uniform tightening for a good feeling, fits securely to different head shapes, and the large-diameter dial of the Boa® Fit System allows instant adjustment and easy operation.
The sharpened 'lightness' and further evolved 'comfort performance' demonstrate high performance from the toughest race scenes to every riding.
