Following two hugely successful generations of Stilo full face racing helmet, the ST6 8860 has been launched for 2025 with some noticeable benefits to improve comfort, weight, visibility and most importantly, safety. The Stilo ST6 8860 shell is built on the experience of the previous model in top flight motorsport including WEC and Formula One. Greater visibility through the visor aperture is achieved through a lower visor aperture meaning drivers benefit from improved visibility of the dashboard and cockpit controls. Meanwhile advanced air channels in the chin bar and top of the shell provide better breathability, reducing sweat and moisture and therefore, heat. Taking feedback and consultation from leading World Endurance drivers, Stilo has taken this onboard to improve the already great ST5 8860 to evolve this helmet further for eligibility in all international sports car categories right up to the Hypercar class. The routing within the padding for the optional quick release, integrated drinks kits, radio cable routing and cold air system has been redesigned and the completely new linings have improved interlocking around the cheek and chin pad area for better usability.
Not only have the cheek pads been improved but the interior linings as a whole, meaning the comfort is improved. Shell sizing structure in the ST6 has also evolved, thanks to a third, medium shell which is designed to fit the majority of drivers in the 59-61cm sizes. The ST6 F/GT models are supplied with part electronics built into the shell - with a female Stilo Nexus connection suitable for use with MRTC/Autotel race radio - a Stilo adjustable microphone and a Stilo earpiece connector neatly fitted to the shell. This design means the ST6 is prepared for the majority of comms systems used in the racing world, and is excellent for connecting quickly during driver changes. A full new range of accessories, exclusive to the ST6, including tinted visors, screw kits and advanced aerodynamics is available to order as extra options.
The visor locking system has been adapted to meet, and exceed, the latest (2025) update to the FIA 8860-2018 specifications regarding visor retention in full face helmets. The ST6 8860 is also customisable in-store for a bespoke helmet fit at Allports, please ask a team member for further details.
