Introduced back in 1967, the first full-face helmet on the market, the Bell Star has long represented THE standard in head protection, and it has inspired an industry to pursue the science of head protection.
The new Star is the continuing evolution of that original ethos, and more. Drawing our inspiration from the essential needs of the modern racer, and loaded with quality features – TriMatrix composite shell, Snell M2020D Rating, MIPS energy management, XStatic liner, and Bell Protint Transitional Photochromic Shield - it’s a complete rethinking of what a race helmet should be.
MIPS®-Equipped MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, which is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts. MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to reduce the amount of energy transferred to the head.
Eyewear Compatible Using prescription glasses or a preferred pair of shades is now possible with eyewear arm pockets woven right into the interior liner.
Bell ProTint Photochromic Transition Shield Maximum visibility allows you to see better in the racing position and make safer overtakes and head-checks. This DLX Edition
includes the Bell Protint Photochromic Shield that offers exceptional clarity in low light conditions, ProTint shields quickly darken when exposed to bright sunlight. This adaptive technology helps your eyes adjust to the conditions, even when they are changing as quickly as the track ahead.
Tri-Matrix Composite Shell A proprietary mix of Aramid, carbon fiber, and fiberglass delivers all the strength of carbon fiber in a more budget-protecting package.
X-Static and XT-2 Padding Quick-drying pad materials, woven with real silver fibers, inhibit growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi.

some auto racing organizations. Check with your organization to ensure that a M2020 helmet is permitted!
