Josh Herrin wearing his custom painted KX-1 Race while testing the Ducati 698 Hypermotard
Defending Daytona 200 winner Josh Herrin will debut his KX-1 Race during the Daytona 200. A veteran in the MotoAmerica paddock and one of the biggest names in American roadracing, Herrin is no stranger to winning, with multiple championships in several different classes—most recently the 2022 Supersport Championship on the Ducati Panigale V2. He also finished second overall in the 2023 MotoAmerica Superbike series.
“I am excited to be joining the KYT family for 2024-25,” say Herrin. “I have a great relationship with the team at KYT Americas and think that KYT will be one of the leading brands in America. They have great style, great fit and great protection that is priced for everyone to enjoy!”
As a sponsored racer for KYT Americas competing in the premier national series, Herrin will be equipped with the cutting-edge KX-1 Race helmet. The FIM homologated KX-1 Race, designed and developed in Italy and tested by Ducati Corse Factory riders, is the latest KYT helmet infused with world-class safety and aerodynamic technology. Highlights include an enhanced vertical and peripheral field of vision (92 deg and 210 deg) and an approximate 1400 grams weight.
"This is a game-changer and we are looking forward to having Josh join the expanding KYT Americas family,” concludes KYT’s National Sales & Marketing Manager Nathan Fitzgerald. “Josh connects with racing fans but also attracts attention from outside of the industry with his tenacity and creativity. We can't wait to see him running up front in MotoAmerica Superbike this year in his new KYT helmet!"
