Description
The Simpson Carbon Vudo is the ultimate expression 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 professional drivers who require maximum weight reduction to minimize neck fatigue during high-G maneuvers without compromising structural safety.
Its specialized "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 premium protection while maintaining the aggressive, iconic Simpson aesthetic.

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 can 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 and safety requirements of your sanctioning body before competition.
