We know that understanding what Homologation you need (FIA / SNELL / CMR) can sometimes feel like a bit of a mine field. If you’re currently racing in a series that requires CMR homologation, we’ve put together a handy guide, along with some of our top product picks for you to browse through!
What is CMR Homologation?
CMR2016
is a standard dedicated solely to junior (under 16) kart racing. This standard focuses on specific factors such as weight to ensure minimal rotational mass in the event of an accident. Snell CMR2016 is the latest homologation for junior helmets.
Permissible helmet weights depend on the smallest head circumference for which the helmet is intended and whether the helmet is configured to accept a face shield. Headgear shall be weighed in the most massive configuration possible with accompanying helmet paraphernalia.
