Bell Helmets Features

E-max Plus™  liner system
E-Max Plus is a full coverage liner system that surrounds your head with protection extending liner material beyond the standard Snell test zone. Others don’t. Many of the direct impacts on the helmet during racing accidents are outside the Snell test zone. Bell invites you to take a look inside your helmet and see if you have complete coverage.

Tru-Fit - Nothing Fits Like A Bell
Bell"s exclusive Tru-Fit system provides customers with the same performance proven features and tailor made fit incorporated in helmets designed for the world's best drivers. Their full-dimension liner and plush, open-cell foam padding combine to deliver a custom-made fit right out of the box.

Tru-Fit Neck Pad
Plush, open-cell foam padding to give you a tailor-made fit.

Carbon X
We are pleased to announce that all of our SA rated Bell helmets feature a Carbon X interior. Carbon X has outstanding flame retardant properties and allows perspiration to evaporate from the skin for increased cooling. The interior will dry more quickly after use, is very durable and resists pilling. Bell did extensive track testing in 2005 with NASCAR drivers including Michael Waltrip.

Kevlar Chin Strap
Bell uses Kevlar chin straps for extra strength and fire resistance on all SA helmets and for added protection Bell uses a Stainless Steel Chin Strap Screw and Clip – resistant to corrosion

Made in the USA - Bell's Ultra, Pro and Racer series helmets are proudly made in their manufacturing facility in Rantoul, Illinois.

Certified to Snell - Bell helmets are certified to the current Snell 2005 standard. Bell doesn't make “special certification” helmets or “custom lay-up” helmets. Customers purchase the same helmet Bell would send to Snell for certification or to their sponsored professional drivers.

Fire retardant primer – All Bell helmet shells go through a second fire retardant primer process to assure that they conform to the Snell SA fire requirements.

Shield Resistant Visor (SRV) – Ultra Series / Pro Series / BR-1
Bell has improved the performance of the visor with the new SRV friction shield system. This new system has a slide mechanism that allows the driver to adjust the tension on the shield allowing for multiple opening positions. When properly adjusted and in the locked position, the SRV systems helps reduce the possibility of the shield opening during an impact. The SRV system is included with: Ultra and Pro series models and the new BR-1

D
Stainless Steel Chin Strap Screw and Clip
– Bell uses top grade stainless steel on their chin straps and screws. Many companies use rivets to attach chin straps which can corrode and weaken when exposed to excess moisture from perspiration.

E
Detent Shield Control
Bell’s unique pivot control system allows the user to keep the shield open in two positions. The system also features a lock down button to keep the shield closed when the helmet is in use.
