Visors That Fit MT Helmets: 8 Fitment Groups

Visors that fit MT helmets, grouped by shield family

MT builds a lot of helmets, and it does not give each one its own shield. Instead a single visor design is shared across a whole run of models, sometimes for years. Once you know which family your helmet belongs to, buying a replacement stops being guesswork.

This guide sorts every MT helmet in our catalogue into eight fitment groups. Each group is a set of models that share one shield, so any visor listed against the group fits every helmet in it. The groups come from our own product records, checked against the live catalogue on 12 August 2026.

We are an independent aftermarket supplier. We are not affiliated with MT, and nothing here is an official MT parts chart. What it is instead is an honest map of what we can actually supply, and for which helmet.

The short answer

If you ride a Blade 2, Rapide, Rapid, Revenge 2 or Targo, you are in group one and you have the most complete set of options on this page: replacement shields in eleven tints, a photochromic shield, and a pin-style anti-fog insert. That group is ranked first for one reason only, and it is worth stating plainly.

The ranking criterion is how completely we can equip the group. First by the number of product types we stock for that shield (replacement visor, photochromic visor, anti-fog insert), then by how many MT model categories the group covers, then by the number of tint options on one named replacement listing.

That is a statement about our stock depth, not about which shield is better made. A group near the bottom of this page is not a worse helmet. It means we carry fewer product types for it, and knowing that before you order is the useful part.

• Best equipped: group one, Blade 2 / Rapide / Rapid / Revenge 2 / Targo, three product types across eleven model categories.
• Widest tint choice on a single listing: the Revenge 2 and V-14B shield, with seventeen options.
• Only groups with a photochromic option: groups one and two.
• Groups with replacement shields only: six, seven and eight.

Not sure which MT helmet you have? The visor finder tool matches a helmet model to the shields that fit it, and the full range of visors for MT helmets is browsable by model.

Comparison table: the eight MT fitment groups

How to read the table

Every column is read off the live catalogue, and every row uses the same unit. “Model categories covered” counts the MT helmet models filed against that shield in our catalogue, not every helmet MT has ever built. “Product types stocked” is a count out of three, and it drives the ranking.

The tint column is deliberately narrow in scope. It is the number of options on one named replacement listing per group, so the numbers are comparable to each other. Several groups have more than one replacement listing, and where that matters it is spelled out in the entry.

There is no price column and no rating column, and both omissions are on purpose. Our shop is priced in one base currency with a header switcher, so a scraped figure would not be the figure you see, and variable products publish a range rather than a single number. Ratings we simply do not have as our own data, so putting a score in a table would be inventing one.

How fitment works across the MT range

These visors clip to a side plate on the shell, and the plate geometry is what decides compatibility. Two helmets with completely different names and different shells will take the same visor if they use the same plate. This is why the groups below cut across the model ranges rather than following them.

The letters after a model name matter more than they look. An SV suffix means the helmet has a drop-down internal sun visor, and that usually changes the aperture, so an SV version often needs a different outer shield from the non-SV version of the same name. Blade 2 and Blade 2 SV are the clearest example on this page.

MT also numbers its shields directly, and those numbers appear in our catalogue as their own categories. V-14 and V-14B belong to the group one family, V-28B to group two, V16 to the Atom group and V32 to the Jarama group. If your old shield has one of those codes moulded into it, that code alone tells you which group you are in.

Why fitment is worth getting right

A shield that nearly fits is worse than no shield at all. It will sit proud of the seal, whistle at speed, let water track along the brow and pull away from the plate under wind load. Forcing a visor from the wrong group onto a helmet is not a workaround on protective equipment.

The Highway Code makes the general point about condition rather than fitment. It advises riders to wear eye protectors that comply with the Regulations, and notes that scratched or poorly fitting eye protectors can limit your view when riding, particularly in bright sunshine and the hours of darkness. It also asks riders to check the visor is clean and in good condition before each journey.

That is a fair description of why a worn shield gets replaced. Fine scratching scatters oncoming headlights into a haze at night, and a shield that no longer seals fogs faster at a standstill. If fogging is your main complaint, our guide on how to stop a helmet visor fogging up covers the fixes that work before you spend anything.

1. Blade 2, Rapide, Rapid, Revenge 2 and Targo

This is the mainstream sport-touring shield in the MT range, and the busiest family in the catalogue. It covers eleven model categories: Blade 1, Blade 2, Rapide, Rapide Pro, Rapid, Revenge 1, Revenge 2, Targo, Targo Pro and the V-14 and V-14B shield codes. If you bought a mid-range full-face MT in the last several years, this is probably your group.

It ranks first because it is the only group tied for all three product types while also covering by far the most models. The Blade 2 SV, Rapid Pro, Rapid and Revenge 2 replacement visor carries eleven tint options, from clear through silver and blue mirror finishes to a heavily darkened black. That single listing is the reference used in the table row.

The family also has a photochromic shield in smoke that darkens in sunlight and clears again indoors, and a pin-style anti-fog insert for the Blade 2, Rapide, Revenge 2 and Targo. Between them those two products cover the two problems riders actually report: changing light and misting at low speed.

The Revenge 2 exception worth knowing

One listing in this family stands apart. The Revenge 2 and V-14B replacement visor carries seventeen tint options, the widest choice anywhere in this guide, but it is filed against the Revenge 2 and the V-14B code only. It is not a general group one shield.

So if you ride a Revenge 2 you have two routes: the broad family listings, or this narrower one with far more finishes. Owners of a Blade 2, Rapide or Targo should stay on the family listings. Buying the Revenge 2 listing for a Targo because the colour looks better is exactly the mistake this page exists to prevent.

2. Thunder 4 SV, Stinger 2 and Breaker SV

The second group covers six model categories: Thunder 4 SV, Thunder 4, Stinger 2, Breaker SV, Thunder 3 Pro and the V-28B shield code. It matches group one on product types and separates from it purely on how many models it covers. Six against eleven is a fact about how many helmets share the shield, not a judgement on the shield itself.

The Stinger 2, Thunder 3 Pro and Thunder 4 SV replacement visor is the reference listing with nine tints, spanning clear, silver, deep black and clear-tinted blue and red. A second listing filed against the same shield adds iridium-style finishes for the Stinger 2 and Thunder 4 SV.

Both other product types are here as well. There is a Thunder 4 SV photochromic visor in three variants, plus a wider one shared with the Breaker SV and Stinger 2, and a Thunder 4 SV anti-fog insert. If you commute through winter on a Thunder 4 SV, that insert is the single most useful item in this group.

3. Atom SV and Atom

The Atom family covers three model categories: Atom SV, Atom and the V16 shield code. It is the highest-ranked of the two-product-type groups, and it earns that place on tint choice. Ten options on one listing is more than either of the groups immediately below it.

The Atom SV replacement visor is the reference listing, running from clear and silver through to revo blue, revo red and a rainbow finish. There is also a shared Atom SV and Atom shield in nine more conventional tints if you want plain smoke or clear rather than a mirror.

The Atom is a flip-front helmet, which makes the anti-fog question sharper than usual. A chin bar that lifts gets opened at every set of lights, and each opening dumps warm damp air against a cold shield. The Atom SV anti-fog insert is the direct answer, and there is no photochromic option for this shield.

What the missing photochromic means in practice

Groups three to eight have no auto-tinting shield, so light management has to be handled another way. On the Atom SV the internal sun visor does most of that work, which is why the absence matters less here than it would on a helmet without one. Drop the internal visor for glare and keep a clear outer shield fitted.

4. KRE+, KRE Carbon and KRE SV

The KRE family covers three model categories and carries two product types, tying with the Jarama group on both counts. It is placed fourth on a tie-break that is worth explaining rather than hiding. Both groups show nine tints on their reference listing, so the ranking needed a third factor.

The factor is reach into a fourth product. KRE Carbon is also filed against the group one photochromic listing, so a KRE Carbon owner can get an auto-tinting shield even though the KRE family itself does not stock one. No helmet in the Jarama group has an equivalent route, so KRE takes fourth and Jarama fifth.

For everyday buying the KRE+ replacement visor is the reference listing with nine tints, including deep revo blue, deep revo red and a plain clear. The KRE Carbon, KRE SV and KRE+ shared visor adds eight more finishes across all three variants, and the KRE+ anti-fog insert covers misting.

5. Jarama and Jarama SV

The Jarama group covers three model categories: Jarama, Jarama SV and the V32 shield code. It carries a replacement visor and an anti-fog insert, and no photochromic option in any form. That last point is the reason it sits fifth rather than fourth.

There are two replacement listings and they are worth telling apart. The Jarama replacement visor offers nine tints and is filed against the Jarama alone, while the Jarama SV and Jarama shared visor covers the SV variant and the V32 code as well.

If you have the SV version, use the shared listing. The internal sun visor changes the aperture, and this is the group where picking the wrong one of two very similarly named listings is easiest. The Jarama anti-fog insert fits the family and is the only other product we stock for it.

6. Stinger, Thunder 3 and Thunder 3 SV

From here down, replacement shields are the only product type we stock. This group covers three model categories, which is why it ranks above the two below it despite the same single-type limitation. It is also the first group where the tint count runs against the ranking.

The Stinger, Thunder 3 SV and Thunder 3 replacement visor carries twelve tint options, more than any group above it except the Revenge 2 exception. Deep revo gold, rainbow, gold, green, red, blue and the usual clear and silver are all there. Plenty of choice, then, but no insert and no photochromic.

Owners of a Thunder 3 SV have a second option in a listing filed against that model specifically, running to eight more conventional tints. If you fog up on a Thunder 3, the fix has to be technique and ventilation rather than a product, because we do not stock an insert cut for this shield. That is the most useful thing this entry can tell you.

7. Revenge 2 S and Targo S

This group is the clearest illustration of why the ranking is about stock depth and nothing else. It covers only two model categories and carries one product type, so it ranks seventh. Yet its single listing has the second-widest tint choice on the whole page.

The Revenge 2 S and Targo S replacement visor offers fifteen finishes, including revo gold, revo green, revo pink, revo purple, green gold and rose red alongside the standard clear, silver and black. For anyone who wants an unusual finish, this is the best-served helmet in the MT range at our shop.

The S variants are not the same helmet as the plain Revenge 2 S family members they are named after. A standard Revenge 2 is in group one and takes a different shield entirely. Reading the S on the end of the model name is the whole difference here, and it is easy to miss on a listing photo.

8. Cosmo SV, Street Fighter SV and Spartan

The last entry gathers three helmets that each have their own shield and share it with nothing else in MT’s range. They are grouped together because they behave identically as a buying problem: one listing, one product type, no alternatives. Each is a distinct fitment, so the three are not interchangeable with each other.

The Cosmo SV replacement visor and the Street Fighter SV replacement visor each carry eight tints across the familiar clear, silver, deep black and clear-tinted blue and red set. Both helmets have an internal sun visor, so a clear outer shield plus the drop-down is the sensible default.

The Spartan is the odd one out. Its shield is shared outside MT entirely, on the AXXIS Draken S and MT Spartan replacement visor with seven finishes. Shared tooling across brands is common in this part of the market, and it is why a cross-brand listing is the right result rather than a filing error.

How to choose within your group

Once you have found your group, the remaining decision is finish, and that is mostly about when you ride. A clear shield is the only one that works across all conditions without compromise, which is why it belongs in every rider’s kit even if it is not the one usually fitted.

For riders who see real sun and real dusk in the same journey, a photochromic shield does the job of two. Our explainer on how photochromic visors work is worth reading first, because they have genuine limits in cold weather and behind laminated screens. Only groups one and two have one available.

Mirrored and iridium finishes are a different proposition and are covered in the FAQ below. If you want the look, browse the iridium visor range with the legal position in mind, and keep a shield from the clear visor range for everything else.

What to do first if you are fogging

Buying a tint will not fix misting, and it is the most common wasted purchase we see. Groups one to five have a pin-style anti-fog insert available, and fitting one is the single most effective change for cold-weather riding. Our guide to fitting a Pinlock-compatible anti-fog insert walks through the tensioning step that most people get wrong.

Groups six, seven and eight have no insert option from us. On those helmets, cracking the visor to its first detent at low speed, keeping chin vents open and cleaning the inner face properly will do most of the work. The visor cleaning guide matters more than it sounds, because residue on the inside face is what fog condenses onto first.

Frequently asked questions

Will a visor from one MT group fit another MT helmet?

No, and this is the single most common ordering error. The groups on this page exist precisely because the shields are not interchangeable between them. A Blade 2 shield will not fit a Thunder 4 SV, and a Jarama shield will not fit an Atom.

The one thing that does cross groups is the shield code. If your old visor carries a V-14, V-14B, V-28B, V16 or V32 marking, match the code rather than the helmet name and you will land in the right group every time.

How do I tell a Blade 2 from a Blade 2 SV?

The SV version has a drop-down internal sun visor operated by a slider, usually on the left side of the shell. If there is a second dark shield that retracts up into the helmet, you have the SV. Our catalogue files both under the same model category, and the listings name the variants they fit, so read the listing title rather than assuming.

Are dark or iridium visors road legal in the UK?

Iridium, mirrored and dark-smoke visors are not road legal in Great Britain. That applies at all times, not only after dark, and it is not softened by riding only in daylight. They are sold here for track and off-road use, and we say so on the listings.

For everything else, the legal test is the marking on the individual visor rather than its colour, and we do not verify markings on individual items, so we make no claim either way about a specific shield. Under section 18 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 it is an offence to sell an eye protector for road use when it is not of a type prescribed under that section as authorised for such use. The related offence is non-endorsable, meaning it carries no penalty points. Our full write-ups on tinted visors and UK law and on iridium and mirrored visors set out the detail.

Do MT helmets take a Pinlock-compatible insert?

Some do. We stock pin-style anti-fog inserts for groups one to five, cut for those specific shields. These are aftermarket inserts that work with pin-style shields; they are not Pinlock-brand products, and Pinlock is a trademark of its owner.

Check that your shield actually has the pins before ordering. They sit at the outer edges of the aperture, and a shield without them will not hold an insert under tension.

How long does delivery take, and what does it cost?

Delivery is 5–10 business days, and shipping is free on every order. We ship to the UK, the US and Europe. You will see an estimated arrival date at checkout before you pay.

Finding the right visor for your helmet

Eight groups is the honest number for MT at our shop today, drawn from thirty-nine products filed across thirty-four model categories. If your helmet is not named on this page, it is because we do not currently list a shield that fits it, rather than because the group was left out.

Start from your helmet, not from the finish you want. Find the model in the MT range, confirm the group here, then pick the tint from what that group actually offers. If you are between two similarly named models, the visor finder will narrow it down, and the photochromic range is worth a look if you are in group one or two.
