The KB43VER™Limited Edition Helmet design, a project that Ken originally started with 509 in 2022, is featured on 509’s best-selling mountain-style helmet, the Altitude 2.0.
"Ken's innovative thinking led to the concept that has now transformed into the remarkable design we have today," said Alicia Anderson, Managing Director at 509. "Working with Ken's family and 43i on this project is an honor. We are proud of how this effort inspires the next generation of riders through fresh design and 43i carrying on Ken’s legacy through giving back to action sports, motorsports, and the creative arts."
Going Beyond Business
Ken was a professional rally driver, business visionary, and motorsports legend who held many passions in the powersports industry - including snowmobiling. Ken and 509 were partnering on the development of the KB43VER Altitude 2.0 Limited-Edition Helmet and finalizing design just months before his accident in 2023.
Plans to launch the KB43VER Altitude 2.0 Limited-Edition Helmet resumed in 2024 with the Block family’s decision to connect his visionary projects with the social good he created through 43i. A portion of the sales from the helmet will go to 43i’s youth programs, including Project Brain Bucket. This program aims to promote helmet safety among young riders.
“Ken was really excited about this project, giving people the chance to have a helmet with a design that he worked on. It’s cool that we're able to carry forward his vision with this helmet - while supporting 43i’s Project Brain Bucket too.” said Lucy Block, Ken’s wife, pro rally driver, and Block House Racing Principal.
