About the Winter Test 2012 Helmet
Understated, symbolic, and quietly powerful, the Rossi Corsa Winter Test 2012 Limited Edition helmet marks a turning point in MotoGP history. Created to commemorate Valentino Rossi’s return to Yamaha during the 2012 Valencia winter test, this helmet represents renewal, focus, and a fresh chapter after a challenging season.
Designed by legendary artist Aldo Drudi, the helmet features a minimalist black-and-white (grey) base, accented by striking fluorescent yellow highlights. At the center of the design is the “Kando” Japanese ideogram, a word that represents deep emotion, excitement, and the joy of achievement—perfectly reflecting Rossi’s mindset heading back to the Yamaha M1.
Rossi’s iconic sun and moon graphics remain present, reinforcing his identity while the restrained color palette signals calm confidence rather than spectacle. Some editions of this helmet are especially sought after for their “double face” graphic style, further elevating its collector appeal.
Built on the AGV Corsa platform, this helmet bridges the gap between pure racing performance and street-legal usability—making it as technically impressive as it is historically meaningful.
