Technical Specifications

Shell: Ultra-Lightweight Carbon Fibre

The WRX Venti Raid Carbon uses Stilo's latest evolution of in-house developed carbon fibre, lighter and stronger than the previous material used. The open-face design with adjustable peak delivers maximum visibility and airflow for cross-country and raid events where situational awareness is critical.

Why it matters: In cross-country and raid racing, drivers face extended stages over rough terrain with sustained vibration. The WRX Venti Raid Carbon's lightweight shell reduces neck fatigue while the open-face design maximises peripheral vision and ventilation, essential for long-distance off-road events.

Certifications: FIA 8859-2015 & Snell SA2020

.

Open-Face Design with Adjustable Peak

The WRX Venti Raid Carbon's open-face shell delivers a far wider and taller visor aperture than a traditional full-face helmet, improving peripheral vision by +34% over the ST5. The adjustable peak reduces glare and provides protection from sun, dust, and debris in open off-road environments. A retractable short visor is available for additional eye protection.

WRC Rally Communications

Stilo's rally comms: a dynamic noise-cancelling microphone, padded ear cups with speakers, and the standardised Venti intercom jack plug moulded deeper into the shell for a secure, reliable connection. Compatible with Stilo WL wireless (WL-10, WL-Key) and wired DG/WRC intercoms. Available in rally (BG1X/BG1T) and circuit (CG1X) configurations. Contact us to confirm the right option for your event.

Ventilation

The open-face design and top shell drilling provide optimum ventilation. Can be fitted with a top-air duct for air-conditioned cooling, essential for hot and dusty cross-country and raid environments.

Additional Features

Factory-fitted FHR / HANS posts included as standard. Drinks system ready, prepared for hydration tube integration. Improved linings for better comfort and safety. Customisable in-store for a bespoke helmet fit at Harris Race Radios.

Sizes Available

XS (54), S (55), M (57), L (59), XL (61), XXL (63), XXXL (64). If you're between sizes or unsure, contact Aaron Harris, experienced motorsport helmet adviser who fits helmets regularly and can advise on correct sizing for your head shape.

Audio Connector: How It Works

The WRX Venti Raid Carbon uses Stilo's EzyFlow audio connector system. Select your audio connector option on this page. Harris Race Radios fits your chosen connector directly to the helmet before dispatch.

• EarMuff / Speakers: Large padded ear cups with built-in speakers. Best for noisy off-road, cross-country, and raid environments. Provides passive noise isolation alongside clear audio. Most popular for intercom and radio use in loud cockpits.
• Stilo Earbud Connector: Stilo's proprietary push-lock connector, exclusive to Stilo helmets. Not compatible with third-party earpieces without an adapter.
• 3.5mm Mono Connector: The most widely used audio connector in NZ, Australia, and the USA. Compatible with the majority of aftermarket earpieces and radio setups. The go-to choice for non-Stilo custom earpieces.
• RCA Connector: Predominantly used in European race teams and systems. Check your audio input type before selecting.
