Bell Auto Racing Helmets, Snell SA2020 Approved

The quality and protection offered by Bell Helmets has been legendary for decades, from their first racing helmet in 1954, to the world's first full-face helmet in 1966, to their latest FIA-approved aerodynamic designs. Helmets come and go, but Bell continues to inspire loyalty like no other brand.

Part numbers BE009 through BE127 are Bell Ultra Series carbon fiber helmets. These helmets have a genuine carbon-fiber shell that is unpainted, so the carbon weave shows through.
Part numbers BE141 through BE173 have a strong yet lightweight fiberglass-reinforced carbon-composite shell for great protection at a great price.

All SA2020 Bell helmets include a lightweight drawstring helmet bag. Full-face Bell helmets include one clear face shield with a matching visor strip (white for white or orange helmets and black for matte black helmets) and a hex wrench for the shield hardware.

The Snell Foundation SA2020 standard was developed specifically for automotive racing helmets. The "SA" (Special Application") helmet standards are written to ensure that a helmet offers the best safety protection for auto racing drivers who are restrained in their vehicles. SA2020 helmets are tested for flame retardance, and additional tests ensure compatibility with HANS® Devices. Female M6 threaded inserts are pre-installed in the shell for installation of head restraint anchors (sold separately). An SA-rated helmet may not meet DOT specifications for street use, such as on motorcycles.

As of January 1 2022, SCCA requires SA2015 or newer helmets.
