Stilo products have always been at the forefront of safety and technology and in their new addition to their helmet range the ST4 8860 Rally/GT is no exception.
The ST Quattro 8860 GT/Rally helmet is packed with technology all incorporated to give far better protection to the user. The helmet absorbs 50% more impact energy and has improved load spreading during side impact accidents. It also resists 30% more penetration energy and in turn 30% more protection against injurys caused by excessive rotational accelerations, making the 8860-2004 standard the toughest and highest on the market.
Manufactured in the ultimate demands required in F1 this Rally and GT racing helmet is homologated to the highest FIA standard 8860-2004, it is exceptionally strong and light and one of very few helmets available commercially to this very high safety standard. The small shell weighes 1.50kg and the large shell at 1.58kg.
The FIA 8860 standard is required for various championships in 2010. WRC, WTCC, GP1, GP2 and GP3 all require competitors to have a helmet compatible to this standard.
The helmet has a built in visor which is an adjustable sunshade. The GT helmet has a built in comm port and microphone and comes with a connection for Stilo's ear plug kit (available as an extra as well as a conversion plug for other brands of ear plugs).
A full intercom system is fitted into the rally version. The helmet was homologated with Stilo's soft and flexible padded earmuffs which cuts down the excessive noise of a race car allowing clearer pit crew communications in racing, and clear intercom communications in the rally version.
A conversion cable is available as an extra for easy connection to an MRTC radio system.
The helmet is available with HANS posts or Stilo's own HANS connection option of SEA system which saves 70 grammes in weight in comparison to the metalic HANS post.
The helmet has the option of a quick release drinking system (available as an extra) and a fresh air system (also available as an extra). Please note that only one of these options can be fitted at the same time as they use the same connection point at the side of the helmet.
Stilo are the one of only three manufacturers that can produce an 8860 standard helmet commercially, and the only one currently that have an homologated version available in extra large!!
