Lightweight Composite Shell Construction

The B2 Icon racing helmet features a lightweight composite shell engineered to provide strength, durability, and impact protection without unnecessary bulk.

Managing helmet weight is important during extended driving sessions, particularly under repeated braking and cornering loads. The B2 Icon's composite construction helps balance protective performance with everyday racing comfort.

Its traditional open-face profile delivers classic motorsport styling while incorporating modern materials and manufacturing techniques.

Advanced Multi-Density Impact Protection

Inside the composite shell, the B2 Icon uses an advanced multi-piece, multi-density impact-absorbing liner designed to manage impact energy.

The liner incorporates different material densities to help absorb energy across varying impact conditions. Combined with the outer composite shell, this construction contributes to the helmet's Snell SA2020 protective performance.

This engineered impact-management system provides an important foundation for the helmet's motorsport safety certification.

Snell SA2020 Certified for Automotive Racing

The B2 Icon is certified to the Snell SA2020 automotive racing helmet standard, a recognized safety certification used across many motorsport disciplines.

Snell SA2020 certification indicates that the helmet design meets the applicable testing and performance requirements established by the Snell Memorial Foundation.

The B2 Icon is suitable for many racing and performance-driving applications where Snell SA2020 open-face helmets remain accepted.

Important: Racing organizations establish their own helmet certification and eligibility requirements. Always verify that Snell SA2020 helmets and open-face designs are permitted for your specific event, vehicle, and racing series.

Open-Face Design for Maximum Driver Visibility

One of the biggest advantages of the B2 Icon Open-Face Racing Helmet is its expansive field of vision.

Unlike full-face helmets, the Icon does not include a chin bar or full-face shield, allowing drivers to enjoy greater facial openness and convenient communication with instructors, crew members, and passengers.

This design makes the helmet especially appealing for autocross competitors, HPDE participants, driving instructors, and drivers of closed-cockpit race cars.

The open-face configuration can also be convenient for drivers who wear prescription glasses or prefer using separate eye protection.

Safety Note: Open-face helmets offer less facial coverage than full-face helmets. Consider your vehicle, racing environment, and sanctioning-body requirements when choosing your helmet.

Adjustable Visor Peak with Light Smoke Anti-Glare Strip

The B2 Icon includes an adjustable visor peak with an integrated light smoke anti-glare strip designed to help manage sunlight during daytime driving.

Drivers can position the peak to help reduce glare and improve forward visibility in bright conditions.

The visor peak is particularly useful during autocross, road racing, and track-day events when low-angle sunlight can affect visibility.

The peak assembly can also be removed or serviced using compatible B2 replacement parts.

Integrated M6 Terminals for HANS and FHR Compatibility

The B2 Icon includes factory-installed M6 threaded terminals designed for attaching compatible frontal head restraint hardware.

These mounting points allow drivers to install approved HANS or other compatible FHR anchor systems without drilling new holes into the helmet shell.

HANS/FHR anchor posts are not included with the standard helmet and must be purchased separately.

Always use compatible mounting hardware and follow the helmet and restraint manufacturers' installation instructions.

Fire-Resistant Interior for Racing Comfort

The B2 Icon features fire-resistant interior materials designed for use in automotive motorsports.

The interior provides a comfortable contact surface while supporting a secure helmet fit during acceleration, braking, and cornering.

Its comfort-focused design makes the B2 Icon a practical choice for longer track sessions, driver instruction, and repeated competition runs.

B2 Icon vs. Full-Face Racing Helmets

Choosing between an open-face and full-face racing helmet depends on your vehicle, driving environment, personal preferences, and competition requirements.

The B2 Icon open-face helmet offers a wider facial opening, improved access for communication, and a classic motorsport appearance.

A full-face racing helmet adds a protective chin bar and typically a full face shield, providing additional facial coverage against certain impacts, debris, and environmental exposure.

Drivers should consider the potential risks of their motorsport discipline and select a helmet design appropriate for the application.
