Description
The Simpson Carbon Vudo represents the peak of the Vudo series—re-engineered with an elite, autoclave-cured carbon fiber shell. As the lightest helmet in its segment, it is designed for drivers who demand maximum weight reduction to minimize neck fatigue without sacrificing structural integrity. Its "no-vent" aerodynamic profile is purpose-built for the high-velocity demands of open-cockpit racing and the high-debris environments of dirt track competition.
Hand-built to order in New Braunfels, Texas, the Carbon Vudo delivers uncompromising protection and the iconic Simpson styling. The streamlined design significantly reduces drag, providing a critical performance edge in professional racing environments.

Safety Compliance & Maintenance
The Snell Foundation recommends replacing your racing helmet every five (5) years from the date of manufacture, as the protective resins and internal liners may diminish in performance over time. To maintain the Carbon Fiber finish, clean only with mild soap and water using a soft microfiber cloth. Always verify the specific technical requirements of your sanctioning body before competition.
