Start with Your Discipline

Browse by Brand

Stilo Helmets

Compare Stilo circuit, rally and karting models by secure fit, physical homologation label and communications configuration. Harris Race Radios™ supplies Stilo helmets with practical model selection and helmet-to-intercom matching advice.

Roux by Pininfarina Helmets

Roux R1 models are designed and manufactured in Italy by Pininfarina. Harris Race Radios™ is the authorised Australasian distributor, dealer and importer for Roux. Compare the R1-F full-communications configuration with the R1-N no-comms version, then match the actual helmet and connected equipment to your requirements.

Pyrotect Helmets

Harris Race Radios™ is a Pyrotect dealer for New Zealand and Australia, sourcing directly from Pyrotect. Compare each model's physical Snell label, wiring and forced-air arrangement with your application.

Impact Helmets

Compare Impact OS20 and wired-off-road models by the exact helmet's label, forced-air arrangement and radio fitment. Check the supplied specification rather than assuming every model or generation is identical.

Match the Helmet to the Complete System

The helmet is the critical part of a motorsport communications system. Match the microphone, speakers or earpieces, connector pinout, cable and radio or intercom to the actual helmet and application. A similar-looking plug does not establish compatibility. Where cooling is required, also check the helmet inlet, coupling, hose routing and cockpit clearance.

Clear audio supports timely pit instructions, rally pace notes and hazard warnings. Where required, New Zealand one-way race-control audio and Australia's Race Management Channel (RMC) need a correctly matched receiver and helmet-audio path. Route leads and hoses with entry and exit in mind to help prevent snags, accidental disconnection and equipment damage.

Physical Labels and Event Requirements

Check the exact standard, year and any required ABP designation on the helmet supplied against the current rules of your discipline, category and event. Confirm helmet and FHR acceptance with the organiser using the applicable MotorSport NZ Schedule A, Motorsport Australia or other governing rules. A brand name, collection heading or bundle does not establish event eligibility.

Helmet and HANS/FHR Bundles

Compare the helmet's physical label, head-restraint approval, supplied anchors, device-side tethers and secure fit as a complete arrangement. Use the manufacturers' instructions to check the components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I start when comparing motorsport helmets?

Start with your discipline and current category requirements, then compare the exact helmet's physical labels, secure fit, supplied equipment and communications configuration. Use the discipline and brand collections here to find the relevant models.

Should I choose a helmet by brand or fit?

Compare suitable models within your preferred brand, but choose a secure fit that also meets your application and equipment requirements. A brand name or carbon construction does not establish which shell shape fits your head.

Can I keep my existing radio or intercom?

Identify the actual helmet electronics, microphone type, connector pinout, radio or amplifier and cable. The complete installation needs to match; a similar-looking plug alone does not establish compatibility.

What information should I send for helmet-selection advice?

Send your discipline and category, current helmet model and size, physical-label and connector photos, radio or intercom model, and any FHR or cooling requirements. This helps narrow the models and equipment to compare.
