This black edition of the KEP Smart Nova Matt Polo Star, with a matte finish, sparkling glitter details and a wide sun peak, is a well-thought-out and carefully developed riding helmet, designed to offer a combination of reliable protection and optimal comfort. The helmet’s outer shell in ABS plastic is combined with an inner EPS layer that effectively absorbs impacts in the event of a fall or blow. The extended rear follows the shape of the neck and provides extra protection over a sensitive area - without in any way restricting freedom of movement.
The beige, adjustable synthetic leather chin strap features a stable 5-point attachment that keeps the helmet securely in place, while the innovative ventilation grille ensures an even airflow for a comfortable feel throughout the entire ride. The helmet’s peak is replaceable, making it easy and convenient for you to adapt the helmet to your needs.
Approved according to EN1384:2023.
NOTE - inner liner is sold separately, see Liner/Innerpad Cromo 2.0 & Smart Nova and Liner/Innerpad Long Cromo 2.0 & Smart Nova. The inner liner can also easily be removed for washing when needed.

Inner liner, size & fit
The helmet comes in two base sizes, M and L. In addition, you also need to purchase a liner, which is sold separately.
KEP has two different liner models, where you can choose either a round or an oval shape. Both variants come in sizes 51-62, so once you have determined your helmet size, you simply choose the model that fits your head shape. If you are unsure which one you have, we recommend the round one, as it is the most common. See the size guide to find out how to take your measurements. The inner pad is removable and can be washed as needed.
M - fits size 51-58
L - fits size 59-62
The two different inner pad models available are:
Round - Liner/Innerpad Cromo 2.0 & Smart Nova
Long/Oval - Liner/Innerpad Long Cromo 2.0 & Smart Nova
A tip is to buy double sets of inner liners, for example if you want to be able to wash the inner pad more often during summertime. Another example of why you might need an extra inner pad is if you want to switch between wearing your hair up or down, or wearing a beanie under the helmet in colder temperatures. In that case, you can buy a larger liner that provides room for that, and then switch back to the original liner size in warmer conditions.
The same principle applies if you have a child who is growing - then it may be enough to buy a new, larger liner as the child grows, instead of having to buy a completely new helmet.
