Bell Helmets

How to choose a Bell racing helmet

Start with homologation. Most Bell helmets in this category carry FIA homologation, which events run under FIA regulations require for a competitor's helmet. Each championship states which FIA standard it accepts, so check the helmet's label against your series rulebook before you order. Every helmet name shows its homologation, so FIA and CMR helmets are easy to tell apart as you browse.

The helmets marked CMR are homologated to a separate standard, so confirm in your series regulations that CMR is accepted before you buy one of them.

Rally crews can choose from dedicated rally versions across several Bell helmet families, so there is a rally option at more than one level of the range.

If you use a HANS device, check how the helmet is equipped. HANS is a frontal head and neck restraint connected to the helmet by tethers, so the helmet needs anchor points for it. Some Bell helmets are HANS versions or come with HANS clips, while others are supplied without HANS posts, so pick the version that matches your set-up.

Drivers comparing Bell with other makes can turn to OMP helmets and Sparco helmets in the same section, or look through our Stilo helmets before deciding. If you are equipping a karting driver, the karting helmets category brings together helmets for that discipline.

Can I buy a Bell helmet in an F1 driver's design?

Yes. Selected Bell helmets carry the designs of well-known Formula 1 drivers. They are homologated helmets made to be worn, not display replicas, and they carry CMR rather than FIA homologation.
