Bell XR7 ULTRA Helmet (FIA)

Bell XR7 ULTRA Helmet (FIA)

Bell XR7 ULTRA is a full-face racing helmet from the Bell Advanced Series, designed for competitive drivers who demand top-tier homologated equipment. It succeeds the popular GP3 model, combining advanced aerodynamics with minimal weight achieved through a carbon fibre shell.

Bell is a well-established name in motorsport, and the XR7 ULTRA is its answer to current safety requirements - the helmet meets the FIA 8859-2024 standard, one of the most rigorous homologations for automotive racing helmets.

Helmet design in detail

The entire outer surface features a distinct diagonal carbon fibre weave pattern finished in high-gloss lacquer. The black colour scheme is uniform and consistent - from the dome through the rear section down to the chin. Oval Bell Helmets logotypes with red lettering are placed on the front section and on both sides of the visor aperture. The text "XR7 ULTRA" appears on the side of the shell. The metallic components - visor brackets, HANS clip mounts and ventilation elements - are finished in silver or dark grey, creating a contrast against the black composite structure. At the rear, in the lower section, a further Bell logotype appears alongside the size marking.
