Who it's perfect for

The KV55 York Matte Titanium / Black / Yellow is the helmet for those who spend their day in traffic and want to be seen: the yellow on the chin guard and sides works exactly where motorists look. Dual P/J homologation to open the chin guard in the city and close it on the highway, internal sun visor for backlighting, and wind deflector already included against noise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does dual P/J homologation mean?
It means that the helmet is homologated in two configurations: P (protective) when closed, like a full-face, and J (jet) with the chin guard flipped back. 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 staying raised on the forehead like traditional modular helmets. In the open configuration, the helmet behaves like a jet.

Is the Pinlock® lens included?
No. The visor is pre-set 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 anti-scratch outer visor, the KV55 features a retractable internal smoked sun visor, which lowers when needed and retracts into the shell. This is the meaning of "double visor" on the Kappa spec sheet.

How much does it weigh?
Kappa declares 1700 grams with a tolerance of ±50 g, the same across the entire KV55 range, Basic and York. This is the weight of the bare helmet, 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 TITANIUM / BLACK / YELLOW, with item code HKKV55FYKGY. This is the name you will also find on the packaging label and dedicated spare parts.

Can I install an intercom on it?
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 guaranteed match, write to us and we will check together.

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