Zamp RZ-70S Graphic Racing Helmet: What's Included and Who It's Built For

The Zamp RZ-70S Graphic is FAST RACER's newest Snell SA2025-certified racing helmet, built specifically for open- and closed-cockpit asphalt racing. It ships with a Z-20 clear anti-fog shield, pre-installed M6 head-and-neck restraint threads on both sides, and cheek pads with ear cups already in place for one- or two-way radio communication. It's available in five colors, orange, gray, blue, green, and red — through FastRacer at $539.95 USD, with financing available via Shop Pay.

Built for Asphalt, Not Dirt

The RZ-70S Graphic is designed for open- and closed-cockpit asphalt racing, not dirt track use. According to FAST RACER's own product walkthrough, the helmet's extensive venting four smaller vents up top and three below the bottom of the shield moves a lot of air, which is exactly what asphalt racers want and exactly what makes it a poor fit for dirt, where that same airflow lets in dust and debris. If you race dirt, look at a different SA2025 model in FAST RACER's lineup rather than this one.

How the RZ-70S Compares to the RZ-70E

The RZ-70S and RZ-70E are built on the same platform, the difference that matters is certification. The RZ-70S is Snell SA2025-rated; the RZ-70E is rated to the previous Snell SA2020 standard. Everything else is essentially shared: composite aramid shell, the DDAIR-System ventilation, full forward venting, low-profile Top Air compatibility, communication and ear-cup readiness with installation available, and included M6 head-and-neck restraint inserts.

The only other differences are part-number-level: the RZ-70S uses Z-20 Series shields with 28 Series cheek pads and crown liner, while the RZ-70E uses Z-20 FIA Series shields with HALCP24/HALCL24 cheek pads and crown liner — so replacement parts aren't interchangeable between the two models.

Bottom line: if your sanctioning body requires SA2025, get the RZ-70S. If your rules still accept SA2020 and you already own an RZ-70E, you're not missing a feature, you're just on the prior cert cycle. For more on why that distinction matters and when older Snell ratings stop being accepted, see how SA2025 compares to SA2020.

What Shield Comes Included and What's Sold Separately

The RZ-70S Graphic ships with a Z-20 clear anti-fog visor installed out of the box, no separate purchase needed for that. If you want a spare or an upgrade, FAST RACER's "Add Accessories" carousel on the product page lists three separate Z-20 series shields: the Zamp Z-20 Series Anti-Fog Replacement Shield as a like-for-like spare, the Zamp Z-20 Photochromatic Replacement Shield (light-adaptive tint) for changing track conditions, and the Zamp Z-20 Series Replacement Shield in mirrored/iridium finishes for glare reduction. All three are optional add-ons, not part of the base helmet — none of them ship in the box by default.

HANS and Head-and-Neck Restraint Compatibility

The RZ-70S Graphic comes pre-installed and pre-drilled with M6 threads on both the left and right sides. FAST RACER describes M6 as a universal thread size that works with head-and-neck restraint systems on the market. That's a strong compatibility claim worth taking at face value from the people who sell the helmet but if your specific HANS device has unusual hardware requirements, confirm fitment with FAST RACER before you order.

Ventilation and Top Air Compatibility

Beyond the standard front vents, the RZ-70S Graphic has four pre-installed threaded mounting points at the top for Top Air fresh-air systems, compatible with either low-profile or round Top Air accessories. The helmet ships with these mounts plugged; you remove the plugs to install a Top Air system, or leave them in and use the same vents to fine-tune airflow if you're getting too much air without one.

Communication: Ear Cups Are In, a Full Radio Kit Is Extra

The cheek pads on the RZ-70S Graphic come with ear cups pre-installed, so the helmet's shell and padding are ready for one-way or two-way radio communication without modification. That's different from the helmet including a complete radio system, it doesn't come with speakers, microphone, or wiring installed by default. FAST RACER offers an optional paid installation service that sets up a full two-way communication kit, including aero caps to tuck away excess wiring — before the helmet ships to you. If you want comms without doing the wiring yourself, ask FAST RACER about this service when you order.

Cheek Pads, Crown Liner, and Custom Fit

The RZ-70S Graphic uses Zamp's 28 series cheek pads and crown liner, available in multiple colors if you want to color-match your interior to the shell. Both pieces are fully removable and washable. Because cheek pads and crown liner are sold as separate pieces, you can mix a different cheek-pad size with your crown liner to dial in a more custom fit than a single fixed liner would allow.

Weight by Helmet Size

Zamp builds the RZ-70S on two shell sizes, and the shell-size breakdown follows the same pattern used across their helmet line: X-Small, Small, and Medium use the small shell (1,600g ±50g, about 3.5 lb), and Large, X-Large, XX-Large, and XXX-Large use the large shell (1,650g ±50g, about 3.6 lb). If exact weight matters for your class's rules, this mapping should get you there, but confirm your specific size with FAST RACER if you need it in writing.

Sizing: This Is an Adult Helmet

The RZ-70S Graphic is sized using FAST RACER’s Adult Helmet Size Guide, running from X-Small (54cm / 21.25in head, 6⅜ hat size) to XXX-Large (64cm / 25.20in head, 8 hat size). There is no youth-specific version of this helmet listed. If you're shopping for a junior or youth racer, this isn't the right model — look for a Zamp Youth Helmet instead. Measure around the largest part of your head, roughly ½ inch above your eyebrows and ears, and take multiple measurements before choosing a size; don't guess.

Is the Zamp RZ-70S Graphic Right for You?

  • Consider it if: you race on asphalt in an open- or closed-cockpit car, want a current Snell SA2025-certified helmet, and want HANS and Top Air compatibility built in without aftermarket drilling.
  • Look elsewhere if: you race dirt track, need a youth-sized helmet, or need a tinted/mirrored/photochromic shield included at purchase rather than added separately.

  • Confirm before ordering: your exact size via head circumference (not guesswork), whether you need a non-clear Z-20 shield or Top Air accessory added to your cart, and — if exact weight matters for your class — your shell size from FastRacer.
