Meru
Meru Ascent Carbon Head Restraint with IDS
$698.00
$1,744.00
The Meru IDS (Impact Damping System) is the most advanced head restraint system available, engineered to dramatically reduce the forces drivers experience during high-speed impacts. Whether you're competing wheel-to-wheel or logging laps on a test day, the IDS transforms safety expectations by managing head movement like no other system on the market.
Meru Ascent IDS Carbon Head Restraint System
Unmatched Head Control. Unrivaled Force Reduction.
Unlike traditional systems that simply brace the head, the Meru IDS actively controls head motion—reducing both linear and angular acceleration during an impact. Through a proprietary speed-sensitive valve system, the IDS absorbs energy intelligently, offering exceptional comfort under normal conditions and maximum protection when it matters most.
Key Features:
Impact Reduction Like No Other: In a 70G impact, the IDS lowered head force from over 300 lbs (competitor) to just over 60 lbs—a near 80% reduction.
Superior Neck Protection: Falls hundreds of pounds below both SFI and FIA upper neck tension thresholds.
Engineered for Elite Safety: Custom CNC’d titanium hardware and a carbon fiber/Kevlar shell with a proprietary burst panel ensure durability and performance.
Durability Built In: Withstands thousands of impacts without degradation in performance.
Universal Fit: Adjustable moving headrest works in all seating positions—GT, formula, or prototype.
Technology That Works With You
The Meru IDS is built around a proprietary dampener system featuring speed-sensitive valving. This allows it to adapt in real-time—offering a soft feel during regular use and firm, controlled motion under extreme load. It's not just safe—it’s confidence-inspiring.
If you're serious about racing and refuse to compromise on safety or comfort, the Meru IDS is your competitive edge.
The forces to the head in the majority of auto racing accidents come from rotational energy which promotes angular acceleration. It has become rare to have a direct linear impact to the head. Traditional FHR's solid construction and tethering prevent the ability to mitigate angular acceleration forces. With traditional FHR’s in an impact the brain and head immediately speed up and then come to an immediate stop when the tether stops the helmet, which has a similar effect to hitting your head on a wall despite not leaving a scratch on the helmet.IDS technology immediately begins slowing the impact down, controlling the helmet's movement forward, thereby reducing the transfer of angular acceleration forces to the head and brain.
Low Threshold Energy
Recent medical research has provided alarming conclusions surrounding the causes, severity, and long-term effects of concussions. Even seemingly minor concussions may have much more serious long-term effects on the brain, especially when frequency is increased. The current crop of head restraints focus on limiting upper neck tension and leaving concussion prevention up to the helmet companies.
With this well noted, the vast majority of impacts one might experience in auto racing qualify as low-threshold energy impacts. That is, impacts well below the pass/fail velocities of the certification standards, but severe enough to cause a concussion or a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Bumpy tracks, a big cushion in dirt cars, or a string of small crashes can do enough jarring to sustain a concussion or TBI without any obvious carnage to pair it with. IDS starts working the instant an impact begins and the speed sensitive valving makes the technology more compliant and progressive over a broad range of impact velocities common in real world racing while still exceeding the global standard pass/fail requirements.
High Velocity Impacts
Across the entire range of potential impact velocities, the Meru Ascent FHR with IDS technology consistently outperforms competitive designs. Meru meticulously engineers the collar, headrest, hardware, guards and IDS to provide the best possible impact mitigation performance across all impact velocities for both angular and linear accelerations. In a 70G force impact at the cape crash testing lab in Indianapolis, the Meru Ascent FHR with IDS reduced the concussion causing forces through the head from over 300 pounds with our best competition to just 63 pounds with our restraint. They were able to make those gains without giving up low-threshold energy protection or sacrificing neck safety.
Time To Peak (TTP)
Time-to-Peak (TTP) is how long it takes the energy of an impact to reach maximum g-force. Deceleration time is the single most beneficial component in reducing the severity and magnitude of any impact — the more time, the less energy transferred.Because of Meru's proprietary IDS technology, their speed sensitive dampener progressively lowers the head's velocity and almost triples the time to peak, spreading their already drastically reduced load over nearly triple the time.
Upper Neck Tension
The original FHR’s were designed to limit upper neck tension. At the time auto racing's biggest problem was basal skull fracture. Caused by the whiplash motion in an impact, basal skull fracture often severed spinal cords, resulting in death. The original FHR designs did wonders for limiting how far forward the helmet could travel in an impact eliminating the finished whipping motion.
In testing to see how well FHR’s do at preventing basal skull fracture, Meru look at upper neck tension. This number is the main pass/fail standard for the safety organization.In Meru's mission of concussion prevention, the original FHR goal of lowered upper neck tension was not lost and they were able to come in several hundred pounds below the set standard either matching or besting the current industry leaders.

The Stilo ST5 CMR shares the same aerodynamic shell shape as the adult ST5 models, making it a favorite for rising talents who want a lightweight kart helmet with advanced visibility and airflow similar to what the pros use.
What certifications does the Stilo ST5 CMR helmet carry?
The Stilo ST5 CMR is certified to the FIA CMR2016 standard, which is specifically required for youth karting competition. While it is not a Snell K2020 kart helmet, CMR certification is mandated for drivers under the age of 15 in most karting series and ensures top-tier impact protection with reduced weight for developing neck muscles.
Is the Stilo ST5 CMR suitable for all ages?
The ST5 CMR is designed for young drivers under 15, as required by FIA regulations. Its lightweight shell and smaller sizing options make it ideal for youth racers needing superior protection, comfort, and performance during competitive karting events.

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 Stilo ST5 CMR kart helmet is widely considered one of the best youth karting helmets, offering 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 youth kart racing helmet?
Look for the FIA CMR-2016 certification for karting. It ensures your helmet meets the highest standards for impact protection and lightweight construction for younger drivers.
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.
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.
