2024 KTM AX9 Crown Pad

KTM branding. Designed for KTM riders who demand the best.

The AX9 crown padding is the removable top-of-head comfort liner inside your ADV helmet that sits against the crown of your head under the shell and EPS foam. It’s part of the helmet’s engineered interior comfort and fit system that also includes cheek pads, neck roll, etc.

🧩 Main Features & Function

1. Comfort & Fit Adjustment

• Helps shape the helmet’s internal fit over the top of your head for a secure, pressure-balanced feel rather than relying only on the harder EPS foam and shell.

• These pads come in multiple sizes (XS, M, XL, XXXL) so you can fine-tune how snugly the helmet fits — especially useful if you have a tall or shallow head shape.

2. Premium Materials

• Typically made from soft, moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics designed to manage sweat and keep your head cool and dry during long rides.

• Inside the AX9 helmet, interior padding (including crown pad) uses high-quality materials like Shalimar fabric with moisture wicking and antibacterial treatments for comfort on long tours.

3. Removable & Washable

• Like the rest of the AX9’s interior, the crown pad is removable and washable, which makes maintenance easy and helps with hygiene over extended use.

4. Head Stability & Noise Control

• By helping the helmet hug your head evenly, the crown pad also reduces internal movement and can improve stability and reduce buffeting noise at speed.

🏍️ How It Works Inside the Helmet

Inside the AX9, the crown pad attaches to the EPS liner using snaps/clips and is designed to be firm but comfortable — neither too soft (which can let the helmet flop around) nor too stiff (which can create hot spots). It works in concert with the EPS core and cheek pads to cushion the head and provide a balanced fit for long rides.
