Roux by Pininfarina R1-N 2025 SA2025 Fiberglass Helmet

Roux R1-N SA2025: a Pininfarina-designed, Italian-made fiberglass motorsport helmet with Snell SA2025 certification. This is the no-comms base model, ready for separately fitted speakers for one-way receive via compatible NitroBee, Quin Tracks and similar systems. Choose the R1-F if you need built-in two-way communications, a drink system or fitted FHR anchors.

SA2025 is the current Snell motorsport helmet standard and is accepted by MotorSport NZ and Motorsport Australia. Check the physical label, helmet condition and your discipline and class rules; the R1-N has no FHR/HANS anchors fitted.

Designed by Pininfarina. Made in Italy.

The Roux R1-N combines a hand-laid fiberglass shell, wide-view shield and accessible pricing. Pininfarina's automotive design heritage includes Ferrari, Maserati and Alfa Romeo models. Choose this helmet for its actual fit, certification and communications configuration, not just the badge.

Speaker-Ready for One-Way Receive

The base R1-N has no factory communications fitted. Harris Race Radios™ can supply and fit helmet speakers for a compatible one-way receiver, including NitroBee for Speedway and suitable Quin Tracks systems. Confirm the receiver connector and event rules before ordering. For MEGA, rally, endurance or any series requiring driver-to-crew two-way audio, consider the Roux R1-F SA2025 with full communications instead.

SA2025 Certification and Event Fit

Snell SA2025 is the latest Snell motorsport helmet standard and is accepted by MotorSport NZ and Motorsport Australia. Confirm the exact helmet label, condition, age and current requirements for your discipline and category, including whether FHR anchors and particular communications are needed. The R1-N ships without fitted HANS/FHR anchors; choose the R1-F or another correctly equipped helmet when your category requires them. Follow manufacturer care guidance and replace a damaged helmet regardless of its age.

Typical Applications to Check

• Speedway and club motorsport with optional one-way receive
• MEGA, GT Members and Quin Tracks where its actual audio and FHR setup meets class rules
• Circuit racing, rally, off-road and endurance where no factory-fitted two-way comms or anchors are required
• Karting only where the event and age group allow this exact auto-racing helmet standard

Technical Specifications

R1-N vs R1-F — Which Roux Helmet?

If you need two-way comms, a drink system or fitted FHR anchors, choose the R1-F. R1-N is best when those features are not required; a separately fitted speaker does not turn it into an R1-F.

Sizing Guide

Measure head circumference in centimetres above the eyebrows and compare with the Roux chart. Check head shape and cheek-pad fit; contact Aaron if between sizes.

Accessories

Visors, peaks and cheek pads for earlier Roux shells may not fit this SA2025 model. Ask us to verify the exact replacement visor and part before ordering. Explore genuine Roux tear-offs and a Roux helmet bag; confirm tear-off fit against the actual shield.
