Bell HP6 FIA 8860-2018 Carbon Fiber Racing Helmet
The Bell Helmets HP6 8860-2018 Carbon Fiber Racing Helmet brings technology developed for Bell's flagship HP7 platform into a lightweight, purpose-built helmet designed specifically for closed-cockpit racing. With its aggressive modern profile, advanced carbon fiber shell and wide eyeport, the HP6 is engineered for professional and serious amateur racers who demand maximum protection without sacrificing visibility, airflow or comfort.
Homologated to the demanding FIA 8860-2018 standard, the HP6 combines an ultra-lightweight advanced carbon shell with a multi-density, multi-piece energy-management liner. The result is a premium competition helmet designed for high-level road racing, endurance racing, GT competition and other closed-cockpit motorsports.
Advanced Carbon Fiber FIA 8860-2018 Protection
The HP6 uses Bell's advanced full carbon fiber shell construction to provide exceptional strength while minimizing helmet weight. Beneath the carbon shell is an advanced multi-density, multi-piece liner engineered to maximize energy absorption and impact performance.
FIA 8860-2018 homologation places the HP6 among Bell's high-performance competition helmets, making it an excellent choice for racers competing in series that require one of motorsport's most demanding helmet standards.
Wide Eyeport Designed for Closed-Cockpit Racing
Bell developed the HP6 specifically around the needs of drivers in closed-cockpit race cars. Its wide eyeport provides an extended field of vision, helping improve awareness of mirrors, competitors, apexes and cockpit controls.
The helmet uses Bell's SE06 3mm shield system, giving drivers access to compatible clear, tinted and specialty visor options for changing track and lighting conditions.
Advanced Ventilation and Forced-Air Compatibility
Strategically positioned extraction vents help maximize cooling and air circulation inside the HP6. For racers using external driver-cooling systems, an optional top forced-air intake can be installed on either the left or right upper ventilation ports.
Aftermarket forced-air systems are also available with Quick Lock V10 connections and compatibility with Maglock-style cooling connections, making the HP6 adaptable to a wide range of professional cockpit cooling configurations.
Integrated Communications and Hydration Capability
Integrated channels inside the HP6 face piece provide routing options for radio communication components, hydration tubes and drinking valves. This allows racers to configure the helmet for endurance racing and other applications where communication and hydration systems are essential.
Optional ear cups can also be installed to increase noise isolation inside loud closed-cockpit race cars. Racers requiring a fully integrated radio and hydration package can also consider Bell's dedicated HP6 RD configurations.
