Bell XD7 ULTRA Helmet (FIA)

Bell XD7 ULTRA Helmet (FIA)

Bell XD7 ULTRA is a full-face racing helmet from the Bell Advanced Series - a line built for competition drivers where every gram and every millimetre of aerodynamics counts. The XD7 ULTRA is the direct successor to the well-regarded GTX3, bringing a range of structural updates tailored to the current demands of motorsport competition.

The shell is constructed entirely from high-quality carbon fiber, delivering an exceptionally low weight while maintaining the required structural integrity. The helmet meets the FIA 8859-2024 homologation standard - one of the most recent and rigorous norms for helmets used in FIA-regulated competition.

Helmet design in detail

The black carbon fiber shell is finished in gloss lacquer, through which the characteristic weave pattern is clearly visible - the hallmark of premium carbon fiber. The helmet features a sleek, tapered-rear profile with a clearly defined integrated rear spoiler. On the front and sides, oval Bell Helmets logos in a red-and-white colour scheme are placed symmetrically across the shell. The chin area carries the "XD7 ULTRA" model designation in subdued grey print. The duckbill front spoiler is distinctly formed beneath the visor aperture, and the raw carbon finish of the chin sections creates a textural contrast with the gloss outer shell.

Construction and materials

• Shell material: High-quality carbon fiber - provides low weight while maintaining required structural strength.
• Homologation: FIA 8859-2024 - current standard approving the helmet for FIA-regulated competition.
• Visor: SE07 series, 3 mm thickness, with Smartlock fastening for secure retention during driving.
• Front spoiler: Duckbill shape improving the aerodynamic properties of the helmet during driving.
• Ventilation: Purpose-designed ventilation openings in the chin zone to support air circulation.
• HANS clips: Factory-fitted and ready to connect to a HANS device without any additional installation.

For the licensed FIA competition driver

Bell XD7 ULTRA is aimed at drivers competing in FIA-regulated events where FIA 8859-2024 homologation is a formal requirement. The integrated HANS clips and low carbon fiber shell weight meet the needs of competitors for whom every piece of cockpit equipment must satisfy the highest technical and regulatory standards. The helmet is designed for adult drivers of all genders.

Why choose the Bell XD7 ULTRA?

• Successor to the proven GTX3: The XD7 ULTRA continues the legacy of the highly popular GTX3, introducing updates aligned with the latest FIA standards.
• Current FIA certification: FIA 8859-2024 homologation allows you to compete without needing to replace the helmet for multiple seasons.
• SE07 3mm visor with Smartlock: The thicker visor with secure fastening minimises the risk of accidental opening during driving.
• HANS-ready straight out of the box: Factory-fitted clips eliminate the need for additional hardware before the start.
• Integrated aerodynamics: The rear spoiler and front duckbill are designed as a coherent part of the helmet structure, not separate add-ons.
