Caberg GP Carbon and Gladio take different routes at EICMA
The GP Carbon brings a carbon-fibre shell and track-focused equipment, while the Gladio is a lower-priced thermoplastic road full-face helmet.

Caberg introduced two new full-face helmets at EICMA 2026, but they are aimed at distinctly different uses. The GP Carbon is the track-oriented model, built with an all-carbon-fibre shell. The Gladio takes a road-focused approach, using a thermoplastic shell and a substantially lower starting price.
Development of the GP Carbon took place on track with Alberto Surra and Matteo Ferrari, focusing on a wide, deep field of view during braking and when the rider is tucked in behind the screen. Its shell is offered in two sizes, with an approximate weight of 1.4 kg in size M. Equipment includes a visor safety lock, Pinlock 120, an additional dark visor, emergency quick-release cheek pads and a double-D closure with an anodised aluminium ring. Caberg’s SOS Medical ID system adds an NFC chip for storing medical data and sending emergency messages with active geolocation. The helmet is expected to become available shortly at 449 euros.
The Gladio uses a two-size thermoplastic shell and covers sizes XS through XXL. It carries over the visor safety lock and Caberg SOS Medical ID chip, while adding a retractable internal tinted sun visor and a Pinlock 70 lens in the package. Its ventilation layout combines two upper air intakes with four flow extractors around the sides and rear. Availability is expected from late February or early March 2027. Prices are set to start at 149 euros for solid-colour versions and 179 euros for graphic designs.
