Snell/FIA CMR 2016

Set by:
The Snell Memorial Foundation and FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile), which jointly developed this children's motorsports helmet standard.

What it means:
Despite “2016” in its name, it remains a current Snell/FIA standard designed specifically for young kart racers, primarily drivers under 15. These helmets provide strong impact protection while keeping helmet weight low to help reduce the forces placed on a child's head and neck.

Typically required for:
Youth and junior kart racing.
CMR2016 is recognized by major U.S. karting organizations, including SKUSA and WKA, for youth competition. Age and class requirements vary by series.

Not intended for: Motorcycle or auto racing use.

Always check your event or sanctioning body's current helmet requirements.
