The Stilo ST5 FN 8860 ABP is a racing helmet and is designed mainly for racing in an open-top formula race car. While it shares its safety rating with the lighter Stilo Zero models, the 8860 is constructed with a more cost-effective type of carbon fibre allowing a much more cost-effective cost to take advantage of world class safety standard as used in Formula 1, F2, F3, FROC.
ABP (Advanced Ballistic Protection)
The ABP (Advanced Ballistic Protection) element of this racing helmet negates the need for a Zylon strip and is a requirement for the majority of top formula championships, thus allowing much more protection to the forehead area from flying debris. However, it also raises the standard for impact testing.
ABP is a military spec test where a projectile is shot at 250 km/h and the helmet has to repel it. So in short, if you’re looking for the strongest, lightest, and arguably most stylish motorsport helmet, you’ve landed at the right place.
The Aapex Racing Helmets from Stilo also require a different visor to our standard models.
The tear off ready 3mm visor is shorter than the standard models and requires a shallower version so you must order the relevant ABP visor options.
Stilo has managed to retain the ST5’s class-leading small shell, meaning you won’t take up more space in the car than you need to, and it’s also among the lightest in its class on the market. The much lighter option in the Zero model allows for greater weight saving and is our signature model as used by our driver in the Formula 1 and Formula 2 championships.
As mentioned earlier, ABP is a requirement for world-class formula racing. So F1, F2 and Formula E and W-Series require this rating. However, as with all standards, we can see this trickling down to become commonplace for most single-seater series in the future.
Stilo ST5 Zero Helmet
Many drivers will appreciate the beauty of such a well-crafted item with its low weight meaning less lateral Gs in a corner or the unfortunate event of a crash, while others will rest assured by the strength of the shell, but opting for a Stilo ST5 Zero helmet will give the look and the performance that world-class drivers expect and demand.
While other manufacturers have only managed to pass the 8860-2018 and ABP testing in limited sizes, Stilo Racing Helmets have passed the test in all shell sizes and can offer a helmet from Extra Small to Extra Extra Large. Stilo ST5 8860 ABP Carbon Circuit Helmet, uses professional earbuds moulded earpieces.
