Schroth SHR Flex Head and Neck Restraint
from $489.00
Schroth SHR Flex Head Restraints
Schroth SHR Flex Head Restraints are the innovative new Frontal Head Restraint device from Schroth. Built for superior safety, comfort, and adaptability to different race car configurations.
What Makes the Schroth SHR Flex So Amazing?
Simple sizing: Choose from Medium (up to 15 ½” neck) or Large. Drivers who want more space for their collarbone can opt for the Large size.
Angle independent: Schroth SHR Flex Head Restraints have a small, low collar which is suited for all seating angles without interfering with the seat back. In the event of an impact, the articulating collar rises to support the ideal tether angle - great for drivers who have multiple cars.
Load-controlling “bump stop”: Use the device that gives you a proper collar angle. The Schroth SHR Flex Head Restraints legs are attached to the collar itself, along with a unique “bump stop” which smooths out the initial tether loading.
Floating tether: Stay in place while enjoying a wide range of left-to-right head motion plus some side stability.
Flexible legs: With or without the optional comfort pads, the legs of the FLEX device flex with you. The belts can then fit snug to the body, keeping the Schroth SHR Flex Head Restraints from moving beneath the belts.
Retention ears: Extended vertical ears on the outside edge help secure your belts to the FLEX even in the event of a secondary impact.
Slip-stop: Pair Schroth SHR Flex Head Restraints with Schroth Slip-Stop shoulder belts for high-impact rally and off-road uses. The shoulder belts have a counter groove on the backside of the belt, matching with the grooves on the top and lower legs of the FLEX.
Helmet posts included: FLEX helmet posts mount directly to the M6 nuts in your helmet.

Bell Kart Racing Helmet – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Remember that safety is paramount in kart racing, and choosing the right helmet and maintaining it properly is essential for your protection on the track. Consult the professionals at Competition Motorsport any time you have specific questions about your racing helmet.
What is the best helmet for kart racing?The Bell GP.2 kart helmet is widely considered one of the best entry-level karting helmets with premium features for serious kart racers.
Why do I need a racing helmet?Auto and kart racing helmets are essential for protecting your head in high-speed accidents. They also shield against debris and, in some motorsports, fire—making them a non-negotiable safety requirement.
How do I choose the right size kart racing helmet?Use a flexible tape to measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare the measurement to Bell’s sizing chart. For more help, read our blog on how to fit your helmet properly at Competition Motorsport.
What safety standards should I look for in a kart racing helmet?Look for the Snell K2020 certification for karting. It ensures your helmet meets rigorous standards for impact protection. Unlike DOT (for street use), K2020 is designed specifically for motorsports.
Can I use a motorcycle helmet for kart racing?No. Motorcycle helmets lack the kart-specific certifications and features like proper ventilation and impact resistance optimized for karting. Always use a helmet rated for motorsport competition.
How often should I replace my kart racing helmet?Replace your helmet every few years depending on usage and the manufacturer's guidance. If it’s been dropped, involved in an impact, or shows signs of wear, replace it immediately.
Are expensive racing helmets safer than budget ones?Yes, typically. While both must meet minimum safety standards, premium helmets offer lighter materials, better fit, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced comfort, all of which impact race performance and fatigue.
How do I maintain and clean my kart racing helmet?Clean the exterior and interior using a helmet-specific care product like the Molecule Helmet Care Kit. Avoid submerging the helmet or using abrasive cleaners. Visors should be cleaned gently to avoid scratching.
Do I need to wear a balaclava under my kart racing helmet?While not required for all karting events, a balaclava enhances comfort, keeps your helmet liner clean, and helps wick sweat. Fire-rated balaclavas are mandatory in sanctioned auto racing and recommended for high-performance karting.
Is the Snell K rating important?Yes. The Snell K2020 certification is the most widely accepted kart helmet standard, required by many racing series to ensure safety and performance.
Can I wear glasses with my kart racing helmet?Yes. Wide eye ports make it compatible with most prescription glasses and racing eyewear. A good fit ensures the glasses remain stable and fog-free.
Are carbon fiber helmets better?Carbon fiber helmets are lighter and stronger, reducing fatigue during long races while offering excellent impact protection. They are a top choice for competitive drivers.
Can I use a used helmet for racing?It’s not recommended. Damage or degradation may not be visible, and older helmets might not meet current safety standards. Always buy new from an authorized dealer like Competition Motorsport.
How can I prevent helmet fogging during races?Use a visor with built-in anti-fog technology like Bell’s DSAF system, or apply an anti-fog spray or insert. Keeping your helmet well-ventilated also helps.
What's the importance of proper helmet ventilation?Good ventilation helps manage heat and moisture inside the helmet, reducing fatigue and keeping you focused throughout your race.
How do I store my kart racing helmet between races?Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded helmet bag like our Competition Motorsport Evo Helmet Bag to prevent damage during transport or storage.
What is the difference between Snell K2020 and CMR2016 certifications?Snell K2020 is designed for adult karting helmets, focusing on impact protection. CMR2016 is tailored for drivers under 15, offering a lighter helmet to reduce neck strain while maintaining safety standards.
Are tear-off visors necessary for kart racing?Tear-off visors are beneficial in maintaining clear vision during races by allowing drivers to remove a dirty visor layer quickly. They are especially useful in outdoor karting where debris and dirt are common.
How do I know if my helmet is still safe to use?Helmets should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or damage. If a helmet has been involved in a significant impact or shows signs of degradation, it should be replaced immediately. Additionally, helmets should be replaced every 5 years, even if no damage is visible.
Can I customize my kart racing helmet?Yes, many manufacturers offer customization options for fit and aesthetics. However, any modifications should not compromise the helmet's structural integrity or safety certifications.
Where can I buy a certified racing helmet?Buy from trusted experts like Competition Motorsport, online or in-person at any of our retail locations across the USA. We carry all major brands, including Arai, Bell, Stilo, and Schuberth, and support hundreds of racing events across the country.

The most effective helmet is one that fits properly. To measure your head, have an assistant use a dressmaker's tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head. Start at a point about an inch above your eyebrows, looping around the back of your head at the point that results in the largest measurement, and finally around to the front again. It's a good idea to take two or three measurements to make sure you have the largest one.

Sparco X-Light Racing Shoes
The Sparco X-Light Racing Shoes combine lightweight construction, premium comfort, and responsive pedal control for competitive auto racing. Developed using feedback from Sparco professional drivers, the X-Light incorporates flexible materials and advanced racing-shoe technology to improve fit, breathability, and mobility behind the wheel.
An ultra-soft calfskin leather upper provides a comfortable and supportive fit, while strategically positioned perforations promote airflow throughout the shoe. The mid-cut profile provides additional ankle coverage without limiting the flexibility needed for braking, shifting, and throttle operation.
Instead of a conventional racing-shoe tongue, the X-Light uses a stretch jacquard fabric panel that conforms to the top of the foot. A matching jacquard insert at the rear allows the Achilles area to move naturally, helping reduce pressure and restriction during long sessions in the cockpit.
Ultra-Soft Calfskin Leather Upper
The premium calfskin leather upper provides an excellent balance of flexibility, durability, and comfort. Its soft construction allows the shoe to conform closely to the foot while maintaining the support required for precise pedal operation.
Stretch Jacquard Tongue Panel
A flexible jacquard fabric panel replaces the traditional padded tongue. This lightweight construction stretches across the top of the foot for a close, comfortable fit while improving ventilation and reducing unnecessary bulk.
Flexible Achilles Panel
A jacquard stretch insert at the rear of the shoe supports unrestricted Achilles movement. This flexible panel allows the ankle to move naturally while braking, shifting, and transitioning between pedals.
Perforated Mid-Cut Construction
Strategically positioned ventilation perforations help circulate air around the foot. The breathable construction improves comfort during sprint races, endurance events, qualifying sessions, and extended track use.
Responsive Lightweight Outsole
The Sparco X-Light uses a next-generation outsole made from lightweight pure rubber. Its streamlined design provides direct feedback through the brake, throttle, and clutch pedals while maintaining dependable grip.
Anti-Static and Fluid-Resistant Sole
The rubber outsole is anti-static and resistant to fuel and oil, making it suitable for demanding racing and paddock environments. The thin construction maintains pedal sensitivity without sacrificing essential durability.
Pre-Formed Cushioned Insole
A pre-formed cushioned insole supports the natural shape of the foot and helps reduce pressure during long driving sessions. The contoured design improves comfort while maintaining the close fit expected from a professional racing shoe.
Versatile Lacing Options
The Sparco X-Light includes both speed laces and traditional laces. Drivers can select the closure style that provides their preferred combination of convenience, adjustment, and support.
