SA2025 Rated. Designed by Pininfarina. Made in Italy. Speaker-Ready for Speedway, MEGA, MSNZ & Every Motorsport Event.

The Roux by Pininfarina R1-N SA2025 is the helmet serious entry-level and club motorsport competitors have been waiting for — equally at home in Speedway, rally, off-road, clubman circuit racing, and karting. Italian-designed, Italian-made, and priced to actually be accessible. Designed and handcrafted in Italy by Pininfarina, the R1-N delivers the same premium shell, visor, and safety credentials as the R1-F at a sharper price point.

Designed by Pininfarina. Made in Italy. Not Made in China.

In a market flooded with helmets manufactured in China and badged with European-sounding names, the Roux R1-N SA2025 is the real thing. Designed and handcrafted in Italy by Pininfarina — one of the most respected names in automotive and motorsport design on the planet.

Pininfarina's design legacy includes:

• Ferrari 308, 328, 348, 355, 360, F430, 458, and countless other iconic Ferraris
• Maserati GranTurismo and Quattroporte
• Alfa Romeo Spider and numerous other Italian classics

When you put on a Roux R1-N, you're wearing a helmet conceived by the same minds that shaped some of the greatest cars in motorsport history. The fiberglass shell is hand-laid — not injection-moulded — delivering a strength-to-weight ratio and finish quality that mass-produced helmets simply cannot match.

At this price point, you simply cannot buy a better-made helmet. Most helmets in this category are manufactured in China. The Roux R1-N is hand-laid fiberglass, designed and built in Italy by Pininfarina. That's not a marketing claim — it's a genuine manufacturing difference that shows up in fit, finish, and shell quality.

Italian quality. Accessible price. No compromises on where it's made.

Speaker-Ready — One-Way Receive for Speedway, MEGA & More

Technical Specifications

R1-N vs R1-F — Which Roux Helmet is Right for You?

If you run — or might ever run — a radio or intercom system, choose the R1-F. The R1-N is the right choice only if you are certain you will never need two-way comms or a drink system.
