Bell Racing Helmets
Bell has been making racing helmets longer than any brand you can name. Founded in California in 1954 to build proper head protection for racing, Bell went on to produce the first helmet meeting Snell safety standards in 1957 and the first full-face racing helmet in 1968. The range on this page is Bell's current motorsport line: the Mag-10 rally helmets used by co-drivers and drivers on stage from club through to WRC support classes, and the RS7 circuit helmets that live in GT, single-seater and endurance cockpits.
Here's what to look for:
- Purpose built for racing from day one: Bell has never been a general-purpose helmet brand. Every model in this collection is designed and specified for motorsport competition
- Full FIA and Snell homologation coverage: the range on this page covers FIA 8859-2015, FIA 8859-2024, Snell SA2020 and Snell SA2025, so you can match your helmet to whatever your series regulations require
- Two clear flagship families: the Bell Mag-10 for rally (three variants at three price points), and the Bell RS7 for circuit (two variants including a carbon option), with a consistent design language and shell architecture across each family
- Carbon fibre and composite construction: carbon shell options at the top of both ranges for the lowest weight, composite options for strong value on the mid-budget builds
- Full accessory ecosystem: HANS posts, helmet bags, microphone kits for rally intercom systems, and adjustable visors in five tint options, all designed to fit the specific Bell helmets they're built for

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the Bell Mag-10 Sport, Pro and Ultra Carbon?
The three variants share the same Mag-10 shell family, intercom provisions and FHR/HANS post compatibility, but step up in shell construction (composite through to carbon fibre), overall weight and price. The Sport is the club-level entry point, the Pro is the regular-competition upgrade, and the Ultra Carbon is the top-tier professional specification.
What's the difference between the Bell RS7 and the RS7 Duckbill Carbon?
The standard RS7 is a composite full-face helmet for full-cockpit circuit racing. The Duckbill Carbon is a carbon fibre RS7 with an added aero fairing (the "duckbill") designed specifically for open-cockpit single-seater and prototype use where head buffeting at speed is a factor.
Which FIA homologation do Bell helmets on this page carry?
FIA 8859-2015, FIA 8859-2024, Snell SA2020 and Snell SA2025 across the different models. Check the specific homologation on the product page, and always confirm against your series regulations before buying.
Are the Bell microphone kit and helmet bag cross-compatible?
The Bell Adjustable Single Microphone Kit is compatible with both the HP10 Series and the Mag-10 Rally helmets.
Do Bell helmets fit FHR/HANS posts?
Yes. FHR/HANS posts are fitted to every Bell helmet on this page as standard from the factory, so the helmet is ready to use with any FIA-approved head and neck restraint the day it arrives.
