Kappa KV55 York Flip-Back Modular Helmet P/J Matt Silver / Black / Fuchsia – ECE 22.06

The Kappa KV55 York in Matte Silver / Black / Fuchsia is a flip-back modular helmet with a thermoplastic shell and dual P/J homologation: the chin guard rotates backward until it rests behind the shell, so the helmet is approved both when closed (P, full-face) and when open (J, jet). ECE 22R06 homologation, weight 1700 g (±50 g), double visor with internal smoked sun visor and predisposition for Pinlock® 70 DKS002 lens. Six sizes, from XS (54 cm) to XXL (63 cm). Product code HKKV55FYKGP.

Who is it perfect for

The KV55 York Matte Silver / Black / Fuchsia is the most recognizable combination in the York series, and it's also the only one with fuchsia: the choice for those who want to be seen in traffic and not wear a helmet like everyone else's. Underneath the graphics is the same P/J modular helmet with dual visor and wind guard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does dual P/J homologation mean?
It means that the helmet is approved in two configurations: P (protective) when closed, like a full-face, and J (jet) with the chin guard flipped up. You can therefore legally ride with the chin guard open, which a modular helmet without P/J does not allow.

Does the chin guard open completely?
Yes. The KV55 is a flip-back helmet: the chin guard rotates backward and rests behind the shell, instead of remaining raised on the forehead as with traditional modular helmets. In the open configuration, the helmet behaves like a jet helmet.

Is the Pinlock® lens included?
No. The visor is pre-configured for the Pinlock® 70 DKS002 anti-fog lens, which is not in the box and must be purchased separately: the Kappa spare part code is Z2261KR.

Does it have an internal sun visor?
Yes. In addition to the scratch-resistant external visor, the KV55 features an internal retractable smoked sun visor, which can be lowered when needed and retracts into the shell. This is the meaning of "double visor" in the Kappa specification sheet.

How much does it weigh?
Kappa declares 1700 grams with a tolerance of ±50 g, consistent across the entire KV55 range, Basic and York. This is the weight of the helmet alone, without packaging.

What sizes are available?
Six sizes, from XS to XXL. Kappa sizes correspond to head circumference in centimeters: XS 54, S 56, M 58, L 60, XL 61, XXL 63. Measure your head above your eyebrows and order the corresponding number.

What is the official name of this color?
Kappa lists it in the 2026 catalog as MATTE SILVER / BLACK / FUCHSIA, with article code HKKV55FYKGP. This is the name you will also find on the packaging label and on dedicated spare parts.

Can I install an intercom?
Kappa does not declare intercom predisposition for the KV55, so we do not promise it. The interior is removable, and many universal intercoms can still be installed: if you need a reliable combination, write to us and we will check together.

Is it an original product?
Yes. Moon Bike S.r.l. is an authorized Kappa Moto (GIVI S.p.A.) reseller, based in Cercola (NA). The helmet is new, never worn, ECE 22R06 approved, and covered by the official manufacturer's warranty, with an Italian invoice.
