Frequently Asked Questions
What helmets are suitable for speedway and dirt track racing?
Speedway and dirt track racing typically requires a Snell SA or M-rated helmet. Wired helmets with pre-installed intercom kits are popular for team communications. We stock options from PCI, Pyrotect, Impact, and Bell Helmets suitable for these disciplines.
What is the difference between a wired helmet and a pumper helmet?
A wired helmet has a pre-installed intercom or radio kit for in-car communications. A pumper helmet (forced air helmet) additionally features a side air port that connects to an external air pumper system to keep the driver cool. Many pumper helmets are also wired.
Do you stock helmets for both NZ and Australian motorsport regulations?
Yes — we supply helmets meeting Snell SA, FIA, and SFI standards recognised by both Motorsport New Zealand (MSNZ) and Motorsport Australia. Contact us if you need advice on compliance for your specific series.
