Suomy Track-1 Helmet 404 Matte Silver/Red

The Suomy Track-1 Helmet 404 Matte Silver/Red is the high-performance “everything” helmet. Positioned as the sibling to the visible-carbon TX-Pro, the Track-1 offers the same elite racing DNA—including the ECE 22.06 certification—in a striking matte graphic.

Engineered in the wind tunnel, it provides the aerodynamic stability of a track lid with the day-to-day comfort required for the street.

Tricarboco Shell: Lightness Meets Strength

The Track-1 doesn’t settle for basic fiberglass. It utilizes Suomy’s specialized Tricarboco composite, a meticulously bonded blend of carbon fiber, aramid (Kevlar), and fiberglass.

• Impact Management: The shell is paired with a variable-density EPS liner (available in 4 different densities), ensuring that impact energy is absorbed progressively across the entire surface of the helmet.
• Sizing Precision: With two shell sizes and three internal polystyrene sizes, Suomy ensures a low-profile fit that minimizes the “bobblehead” effect while maximizing safety.

Aerodynamics: Taming the Wind

This helmet was sculpted for speed. Its profile is designed to remain neutral whether you’re tucked behind a windscreen or riding an upright naked bike.

• CX approx 0.40: In a straight line, the Track-1 boasts a drag coefficient of just 0.40, dropping slightly to 0.42 during cornering. This means less neck fatigue on long rides.
• Stabilized Spoiler: The rear spoiler isn’t just for show—it reduces turbulence and works with the Venturi-effect extractors to pull heat out of the helmet.

🛡️ Technical Specifications & Performance

Panoramic Vision & Interior Comfort

Suomy is famous for having some of the widest “view ports” in the industry, and the Track-1 is no exception.

• Optical Class 1 Visor: The visor features variable thickness (2mm to 3.5mm) to eliminate distortion. Racing Lock System ensures the visor stays shut even at high speeds or in the event of a tumble.
• Hydrocool Textile: The interior is lined with bi-elastic Hydrocool fabric. It doesn’t just sit against your skin; it actively wicks moisture and maintains a neutral temperature, so you don’t “cook” during mid-summer rides.
• Emergency Release: The cheek pads feature a quick-remove system, a critical safety feature for track-day enthusiasts.

❓FAQ: Expert Peer Insights

“What’s the difference between this and the TX-Pro?”

Technically? Almost nothing. They share the same shell, EPS, and visor. The Track-1 features painted graphics (like this 404 Matte Silver/Red), while the TX-Pro features a visible “Carbon In-Sight” weave. If you prefer a graphic over raw carbon, the Track-1 is your choice.

“How does the fit compare to other brands?”

Suomy tends to have an Intermediate Oval fit. However, because the Hydrocool liners are quite plush, many riders find they eventually “break in” more than expected. If you are exactly between two sizes, we generally recommend choosing the smaller of the two for a secure high-speed fit.

“Is the visor hard to change?”

No tools are required. Suomy’s mechanism is a simple “slide and click” system, making it easy to swap from the included clear visor to a dark smoke or iridium shield in seconds.

Peer Insight: The Matte Silver and Red “404” graphic is particularly sharp in person. The matte finish hides fingerprints much better than a gloss coat, but remember to use a matte-specific helmet cleaner to keep that finish from becoming shiny over time!
