Bell R7 Sport Helmet Black (FIA)

Bell R7 Sport Helmet Black (FIA)

Bell R7 Sport is a full-face helmet from the Bell Sport Series, whose construction draws on the XR7 Ultra model, bringing proven aerodynamic and ventilation solutions to a more accessible price point within the Bell range.

The helmet meets the requirements of the FIA 8859-2024 standard - one of the latest and most rigorous FIA homologations for full-face automotive helmets. This certification is required or accepted in a wide range of circuit racing and rally series for adult competitors.

Detailed appearance

The shell is finished in a uniform matte black, giving the helmet a clean, understated look free of unnecessary decoration. The Bell Helmets logo in a white oval frame with red lettering appears centrally on the shell, on both sides of the visor mechanism, and at the rear. The R7 Sport model designation is placed on both sides of the shell in white and red lettering on a dark background. The rear spoiler and lower section of the shell feature subtle textures that add visual interest to the single-colour black surface. The visor mounting mechanism consists of grey and black elements with a red release button on the left side.

Construction and materials

• Shell: manufactured from composite fibreglass, providing the structural rigidity required for competition use.
• Homologation: FIA 8859-2024 - a current certification allowing the helmet to be used in series that require this standard.
• Visor: SE07 series, 3 mm thickness, with Smartlock fastening for secure and rapid locking of the visor position.
• Front spoiler: duckbill profile improving the aerodynamic properties of the helmet at speed.
• Top ventilation: air intakes in the upper section increase airflow circulation inside the helmet.
• Chin ventilation: purpose-designed openings in the chin area assist in expelling warm air.

The helmet is also equipped with an integrated rear spoiler. It does not include HANS clip attachments - drivers using a HANS device should take this into account before purchasing.

The helmet for a competitive driver with a current FIA licence
