Bell, the number 1 car racing helmets manufacturer in the world, has pioneered an outstanding number of innovations, such as the first helmet combining an inner foam liner with an outer composite shell, the first full face helmet, the first adjustable ventilation systems, the first aerodynamic helmets and the first fog free shields. More recently, after being the first manufacturer in the world to certify and produce an “Advanced Helmet� meeting the new FIA-8860 super helmet specifications, Bell Racing Europe was once again the first manufacturer in the world to certify and produce a helmet that meets the new Snell-FIA CMR standard for young drivers in karting. The latest generation of Bell Racing helmets feature reviewed interior designs, for better comfort and fit, and particular attention is paid to every small detail, making each Bell helmet truly unique. Bell today is more than 150 dedicated people worldwide, a strong R&D team with a state of the art testlab in Asia, and offices in Brussels, Belgium; Champaign Illinois USA and Hong Kong. I thank each and every member of our team for their contribution and I thank each and every driver that has trusted us with their protection. Martine Kindt Cohen CEO

Advanced Series Bell HP helmets have been developed to meet or exceed the FIA8860 Advanced Helmet Standard. This standard was developed by the FIA to improve overall helmet performance and safety and is known as the most severe racing helmet standard. Since 2004, when Bell introduced the first FIA8860 helmet in the world, the HP helmets have been constantly improved. The current models are a direct result of intense Research & Development and close collaboration with F1 teams and drivers. For maximum safety, the Bell HP helmets feature a pure carbon shell using autoclave technology, combined with a specific expanded polystyrene energy absorbing liner. Test show that in certain impacts, the Bell HP helmets absorb up to 40 per cent more energy ! Depending of the fit pad size and the mounted accessories such as spoilers, flaps or air intake, the Bell HP helmets weight only 1290 grams (+/- 5%) in size 59, making them the lightest and the safest helmets actually available in the world for automobile racing.

CLASSIC
In 1966 Bell launched the world’s first full-face motorsports helmet, technologically a quantum leap forward. Nobody expected less from Bell. After all, Bell invented the motorsports helmet in 1954, significantly upgraded the design with the addition of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam a couple years later and quickly earned the admiration and support of the world’s top motorsport racers and enthusiasts. Many famous drivers such as Jacky Ickx, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Gilles Villeneuve and many others have all worn the Bell Star to protect their head in the seventies and the Bell XFM-1 in the eighties. Fast-forward 40-odd years and Bell is again launching the Star Classic and XFM-1 Classic to the delight of true classic car enthusiasts and historic car drivers. Reintroducing the same shape as the famous original Bell Star and XFM-1 but produced to the latest safety standard (Snell SA2010) using the latest production techniques and high tech materials.

KARTING
Some will say that it’s the purest form of racing, the track being so close you can taste the rubber burning. Every lap a learning experience: best lines, level of grip, easy on the breaks, the earliest spot in the apex to accelerate. For these drivers in search of excellence, the Bell KC3-CMR and RS3-K are specially designed for them. The Bell KC3-CMR helmet is certified to the new CMH standard, developed jointly by the FIA Institute and the Snell Memorial Foundation. This standard has been developed to create safer and lighter helmets for use in karting. Under CIK regulations, helmets with Snell-FIA CMH standard (CMR) approval can be used by all drivers in karting. These helmets are strongly recommended for all kart drivers and are mandatory from 01/01/2010 for drivers under 15 years old.
KC3-CMR • Ultra lightweight helmet with Carbon/Kevlar® Glass hand laminated shell: 1185g in sizes 54 till 56 and 1230g in sizes 57 till 59 (+/- 3%) • Very attractive style based on Bell F1 helmet • 2mm shield with anti-fog treatment and Bell Racing “SV” brake visor mechanism for improved comfort and safety • Advanced aerodynamics with front chin spoiler (duck bill), and optimised top and chin bar ventilation • Forehead air intake included • Top spoiler and chin bar gurney available separately • Sizes: 52 to 59cm (White), 54 to 59cm (Tribal & Oil)
