Technical Specifications

Kappa Size Guide – KV40 EVO Basic

Measure your head circumference with a tailor's tape measure, just above the eyebrows and at the widest point of the back of the head, including the ears. The table represents the complete range declared by Kappa for this model.

The ✔ indicates the sizes currently in our stock. When in doubt between two sizes, choose the larger one: a demi-jet that is too tight on the temples becomes uncomfortable after just a few kilometers.

Who it's perfect for

For those who commute in the city every day and want a helmet that can be put on in seconds, doesn't strain the neck, and doesn't get hot at traffic lights. The two rear extractors work even at low speeds, and the dual shell prevents larger sizes from becoming bulky. The glossy white color is the choice for those who want to be seen in traffic and avoid having an oven on their head on sunny days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the approval of the Kappa KV40 EVO Basic?
It is ECE 22.06 approved, designated 22R06, in class J: the class of helmets that do not have a chin guard. This information can also be found on the label sewn onto the strap of every unit, along with the approval number and production batch.

What size should I choose?
Sizes follow the head circumference in centimeters: XS 54, S 56, M 58, L 60, XL 61. Measure with a tailor's tape measure just above the eyebrows, at the widest point of the back of the head. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one: the shell adapts, the temples do not.

Does it have an internal sun visor?
No. The KV40 EVO Basic comes with a single clear anti-scratch visor and does not have a retractable smoked sun visor. You need glasses for the sun. If an internal visor is a requirement, there are other models in the Kappa demi-jet range that include one: write to us and we will guide you to the right one.

Is it ready for an intercom?
Kappa does not claim any intercom readiness for this model, so we cannot guarantee it. There are no speaker housings indicated in the catalog. A universal clip-on intercom can be installed, but it remains an adapted solution, not a factory-built feature.

How much does it weigh and how is it ventilated?
It weighs 950 grams with a 50-gram tolerance, a value declared by Kappa. Ventilation is handled by two rear extractors, which draw hot air out from the top of the shell: this is exactly what is needed in traffic, where air does not flow in on its own.

What original spare parts are available for this helmet?
The official Kappa catalog for the KV40 EVO Basic lists the Z1482TR clear anti-scratch visor, the Z2630R visor mechanism bases, the gray side covers with Z2628R screws, and the complete Z1481 series interior liner by size, from 54 to 61. All of these are available in our catalog.
