Choosing the right visor for your Kappa helmet means two things: finding a compatible replacement for your model and understanding which finish you truly need. The Kappa 2026 visor range offers ECE 22.06 approved clear versions, 75% smoked, mirror in five colors, and iridium, all scratch-resistant. Additionally, there's the Pinlock anti-fog lens, which varies depending on the helmet model. Below, you'll find guidance on finishes and compatibility, including a model-by-model Pinlock chart. Visors and lenses are coming soon to the Kappa Moto catalog at Moon Bike.
Kappa 2026 Visors: What's new in finishes
Every Kappa helmet comes with its ECE-approved clear visor, but you can change it to a different finish depending on its use. The 2026 range offers essentially five options, all with scratch-resistant treatment.
- Clear — the standard visor, ECE 22.06 approved, suitable for all light conditions and essential for night riding.
- 75% Smoked — 75% tinted, reduces glare on sunny days; for daytime use only.
- Mirror — available in multiple colors (silver, blue, green, yellow, red), combines light protection with a bold look.
- Iridium — the iridescent multi-color mirror effect, the most aesthetic finish in the range.
- Internal smoked sun visor — integrated into many models and lowers with a lever, independent of the main visor.
Important: mirror and smoked visors are designed for daytime use. For night riding or poor visibility, a clear visor is always required.
The Pinlock lens: what it's for and why it matters
The Pinlock is an anti-fog lens that attaches to the inside of the clear visor, creating a double wall that prevents condensation from forming. It's the accessory that makes a difference on cold, humid, or rainy days, when breath tends to fog up the visor. Most Kappa helmets are Pinlock-ready, but the lens must be purchased separately.
Not all Pinlock lenses are the same: they vary depending on the helmet model. There are three main types in the Kappa range: the Pinlock 70 DKS002, the Fog City FCG002, and the Pinlock 70 DKS630 Max Vision, the latter with an enlarged field of vision.

How to choose the right visor
If you ride mostly during the day and in the sun
The 75% smoked or a mirror visor reduces glare and improves visual comfort. However, remember to always keep with you (or mounted) the clear one for evening or night riding. Alternatively, many Kappa helmets already have an internal sun visor, which saves you from changing visors.
If you use your motorcycle all year round and in all weathers
The priority is the Pinlock anti-fog lens on the clear visor: it eliminates condensation on cold and rainy days and is the most useful accessory for those who don't give up motorcycling in winter. Check the table above for the code your helmet needs.
If you're looking for a personalized look
Iridium and mirror visors in various colors completely change the aesthetic of the helmet. These are daytime finishes: always pair them with a spare clear one so you're not without a visor suitable for night.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know which Pinlock is compatible with my Kappa helmet?
Each Kappa model uses a specific Pinlock code: for example, KV55 and KV50 use Z2261KR (Pinlock 70 DKS002), KV52 and KV51 use Z1846R (Fog City FCG002), KV33 Enduro uses Z1843KR (70 DKS630 Max Vision). You'll find the complete match in the table above; if in doubt, write us your model and we'll tell you the right lens.
Is the Pinlock lens included with the Kappa helmet?
No: Kappa helmets are Pinlock-ready, but the lens is an optional accessory to be purchased separately. The ECE-approved clear visor, however, is included as standard.
Can I use a smoked or mirror visor at night?
No. 75% smoked, mirror, and iridium visors are designed for daytime use and reduce the amount of light that passes through. For night riding or poor visibility, an ECE-approved clear visor is always required.
Are Kappa visors scratch-resistant?
Yes, visors in the Kappa range have a scratch-resistant treatment. The clear visor is also approved according to the ECE 22.06 standard.
What is Pinlock Max Vision?
The Pinlock 70 DKS630 Max Vision is an anti-fog lens with an enlarged field of vision: it covers a larger portion of the visor compared to standard versions. In the Kappa range, it is paired, among others, with the KV33 enduro helmet and the KV35.
