What To Check Before Ordering
Compatibility is the most important factor when choosing a helmet pivot kit. Match the replacement kit to your helmet brand, model, and shield type before ordering. Replacement hardware from the same manufacturer as your helmet is usually the best place to start, but some kits fit several models while others are designed for specific helmets. Simpson, for example, offers pivot kit options for models including the Devil Ray, Voyager, Sidewinder, Street Bandit, Venator, and Carbon Bandit. Depending on the kit, color or finish options may also be available.
| What To Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Helmet brand | Pivot hardware is often manufacturer-specific. |
| Helmet model name | Some kits fit only certain helmet models. |
| Shield type | The shield and pivot system must be compatible. |
| Existing pivot hardware | Comparing your current hardware can help identify the correct replacement. |
| Included washers, screws, or hardware | Confirm the kit includes the parts you need. |
| Brand-wide or model-specific fitment | Some kits fit multiple helmets from one brand, while others fit select models. |
| Hardware condition | Replace hardware that’s worn, missing, loose, damaged, or no longer holding the shield securely. |

What helmet shield pivot kit should I choose?
Choose a helmet pivot kit that matches your helmet manufacturer, model, and shield type. Replacement hardware from the same manufacturer as your helmet is generally the best place to start, but don’t assume every kit from that brand fits every helmet. Check the listed model compatibility and included hardware before ordering.
When should you replace a helmet pivot kit?
Replace a helmet pivot kit when the shield hardware is worn, missing, loose, damaged, or no longer operating smoothly. It’s also a good idea to inspect the pivot hardware whenever you change shields and replace it periodically, including after every few shield changes, to help maintain proper shield function.
Are helmet shield pivot kits universal?
No. Pivot kits for racing helmet shields aren’t always universal. Some kits fit multiple helmets or shields from the same manufacturer, while others are designed for specific helmet models. Always confirm the helmet brand, model, shield type, and listed fitment before buying.
