The SD1 is Simpson’s lightest, most aerodynamic helmet, offering premium performance at a competitive price. It’s specifically designed for open-wheel dirt racing, featuring a front chin spoiler and no front vents. Certification: Snell SA2020, which is generally approved by racing organizations and tracks through 2030. Always confirm with your sanctioning body for compliance. The Snell Foundation advises replacing helmets within five years of manufacture, as protective performance may decline afterward, potentially making the helmet ineligible for sanctioned competition.
