Bell RS7 Helmet, Snell SA2020 / FIA 8859

Brand: Bell Racing

The RS7 is based on the Bell HP7 helmet currently used in Formula 1 and developed with input from Formula 1 drivers. The lightweight carbon composite shell has a very narrow eyeport. Flow-through ventilation is accomplished by special channels in the liner and a total of 14 inlet and outlet vents (2 inlets in the chin bar, 2 inlets above the visor, 8 inlets in the crown, and 2 exhaust outlets in the rear of the shell). The shield friction slider screws and the shield hold-down post have been moved down below the shield pivot screws for better aerodynamic and acoustic performance. Snell SA2020 rated and FIA 8859 certified for use with HANS® Devices. Industry-standard M6 female threaded inserts are molded into the shell for easy installation of HANS anchors (sold separately). Available in gloss white or matte black.

SA2020 is the latest Snell Foundation rating for automotive racing helmets. This helmet rating has been developed to provide 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. An SA-rated helmet may not meet DOT specifications for street use, such as on motorcycles.

SIZING: Helmets should fit as snug as possible without causing discomfort. Measure head circumference around the largest part of the head approximately one inch above the eyebrows and just above the ears. If a one or two layer Nomex hood will be worn with the helmet, it should be worn when measuring head circumference. If a hood is not available, add about 1/4 inch to the circumference measurement for a single layer hood and 1/2 inch for a double layer hood.
