Stilo Carbon Curva 8870 Rib Protector
Homologated by the FIA World Motor Sport Council and developed by Stilo, the new Stilo Carbon Curva 8870 Karting Body Protection features ‘Carbon Curva’ technology patented by the Italian manufacturer, which allowed the fusion of protective carbon and flexible carbon adding top functionality to a device designed to protect the driver's chest and rib, crucial body areas in karting.
Mandatory in FIA Karting Championships, Cups, and Trophies from the 2021 season, the FIA 8870-2018 Standard for Karting Body Protection (KBP) is extremely light and comfortable. A combination that provides superior protection to kids and adults within an all-in-one device.
Designed to withstand 60J of energy to the chest and 100J of energy to the ribs, the FIA KBP standard prevents injuries from impacts with flat or curved structures, the steering wheel or edge of the seat, and the steering column.
