Stilo ST5 GT ZERO 8860-2018 Carbon Helmet
FIA 8860 Certification valid to 2033 for these ST5 GT Zero Carbon Fiber Helmets
The Stilo ST5 GT ZERO 8860-2018 Carbon Helmet is one of Stilo's most advanced ST5-generation full-face racing helmets, combining an exceptionally lightweight ZERO carbon fiber shell with FIA 8860-2018 protection, integrated accessory ports, excellent visibility, and a design developed specifically for serious closed-cockpit competition.
Built for professional racers and drivers who refuse to compromise on helmet weight or protection, the ST5 GT ZERO delivers the premium construction, comfort, and equipment integration that made the ST5 platform a favorite in GT, endurance, touring-car, and sports-car racing.
FIA 8860-2018 Advanced Helmet Protection
The ST5 GT ZERO is homologated to the FIA 8860-2018 advanced helmet standard. This high-level motorsport specification places demanding requirements on impact protection, shell strength, energy absorption, and penetration resistance.
For racers competing in high-speed professional motorsport, FIA 8860-2018 construction provides a significant step above conventional club-level helmet specifications.
Stilo ZERO Carbon Fiber Construction
The defining feature of the ST5 GT ZERO is its extremely lightweight ZERO carbon fiber shell. Stilo developed the ZERO construction for racers looking to reduce helmet mass as much as possible while retaining FIA 8860-level protection.
Lower helmet weight can reduce strain on the driver's head and neck during heavy braking, high lateral loads, long endurance stints, and extended race sessions.
ST5 GT ZERO Helmet Weight
Small shell: approximately 2.5 lbs. (1130 g) up to size 59 with intercom
Large shell: approximately 2.7 lbs. (1230 g) up to size 64 with intercom
These exceptionally low weights make the ST5 GT ZERO a premium option for racers who place a high priority on reducing helmet mass.
Purpose-Built for Closed-Cockpit Racing
The GT configuration is designed around the needs of drivers competing inside closed-cockpit race cars. Its aerodynamic shell, integrated accessory ports, ventilation capability, communication compatibility, and excellent eyeport visibility make it particularly well suited to GT, endurance, touring-car, prototype, and sports-car racing.
Dual Integrated Side Ports
One of the ST5 GT's most distinctive features is its pair of integrated side ports. Instead of attaching large external fittings to the helmet, Stilo incorporates the accessory connection points directly into the shell design.
The side ports can be configured for several types of driver equipment, allowing the helmet to be tailored to the car and racing application.
Side Port Accessory Options
Integrated communication electronics
Forced-air helmet systems
Driver hydration systems
Helmet Eject system integration
Radio and communication connections
When an accessory is not installed, the ports remain discreet and integrated into the helmet profile.
GT vs. Naked ST5 ZERO
The ST5 GT ZERO includes Stilo's multifunction side ports for electronics, air, hydration, and other accessories.
The ST5 N ZERO, often referred to as the Naked version, removes the side-port system for drivers who prefer the cleanest and simplest possible shell configuration.
Larger Eyeport for Improved Visibility
The ST5 platform features a taller and lower eyeport than previous-generation Stilo helmets, providing improved visibility without sacrificing the coverage expected from a professional full-face racing helmet.
The increased viewing area helps drivers see more of the cockpit, mirrors, gauges, apexes, surrounding traffic, and track environment.
Center Pinch-Clip Visor Latch
The ST5 visor uses Stilo's convenient center pinch-clip locking system. The centrally positioned latch is designed to make visor opening and closing easier, even while the driver is wearing racing gloves.
This placement also allows the visor to be operated naturally with either hand.
ST5 Visor Compatibility
The ST5 GT ZERO uses the standard Stilo ST5 visor family, giving racers access to a wide variety of shield options for different lighting and weather conditions.
Available ST5 shield options include clear, smoked, mirrored, colored, and other specialty configurations.
Eight Top Ventilation Openings
The ST5 GT ZERO includes eight top ventilation openings designed to help move cooling air through the helmet and reduce heat buildup during demanding sessions.
These openings can also be used with compatible Stilo ST5 Top Air systems when forced-air cooling is desired.
Forced-Air System Compatible
For hot closed-cockpit cars, the ST5 GT ZERO can be configured with a compatible forced-air system. The helmet's integrated design allows air-system hardware to be added without turning the helmet into a bulky collection of external fittings.
This makes the GT ZERO especially attractive for endurance racers and drivers competing in high-temperature cockpits.
Integrated Communication Capability
The ST5 GT platform was designed to accommodate professional racing communications. Compatible microphones, speakers, earbuds, radio connections, and other electronics can be integrated into the helmet depending on the driver's communication system.
This approach helps keep wiring organized while maintaining the comfort and fit of the interior.
Hydration System Compatible
The ST5 GT ZERO can also accommodate a compatible driver drinking system through its integrated accessory architecture.
For endurance racing and long sessions, hydration-system integration allows the driver to drink without removing safety equipment or relying on awkward external routing.
Eject System Compatible
The helmet can be configured for use with a compatible Eject helmet-removal system, providing teams and safety crews with another option when preparing the driver's complete safety package.
Factory HANS Anchors Included
The ST5 GT ZERO includes HANS/FHR post anchors, allowing the helmet to be used with compatible Head and Neck Restraint systems.
Having the anchors installed as part of the helmet package simplifies race preparation and ensures the helmet is ready for the restraint equipment commonly required in professional motorsport.
Contoured ST5 Cheek Pads
The ST5 interior uses redesigned, contoured cheek pads developed to improve comfort and helmet stability.
A proper racing helmet should remain firmly positioned on the head during braking, cornering, vibration, and aerodynamic loading without creating excessive localized pressure.

Its combination of FIA 8860-2018 protection, low shell weight, integrated communication and cooling options, excellent visibility, and HANS compatibility makes it especially well suited to demanding GT and endurance applications.
Getting the Correct Stilo Fit
A properly fitted racing helmet should feel snug and secure around the entire head with even pressure and no concentrated painful areas.
Measure around the widest part of the head using a flexible measuring tape, approximately one inch above the eyebrows and around the rear of the skull. Take two or three measurements and use the largest consistent measurement when selecting a helmet size.
Drivers moving from another helmet brand should select their Stilo size according to actual head circumference rather than assuming the same numerical size will fit identically.
Stilo Size 59 Fit Note
We have found that customers who normally wear a size 59 in other helmet brands are often more comfortable in a Stilo size 60, which moves the driver into the larger shell. Please measure carefully and order accordingly.

$5,690.00
Stilo ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP Carbon Fiber Racing Helmet
FIA 8860 Certification valid thru 2033 for these ST5 FN 8860 ABP Helmet
The Stilo ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP Carbon Fiber Racing Helmet is engineered for professional drivers who demand one of the highest levels of helmet protection available in motorsports. Designed around the stringent FIA 8860-2018 ABP standard, the ST5 FN ABP combines an extremely lightweight carbon-fiber shell with Advanced Ballistic Protection developed for top-level open-wheel, prototype, endurance, and professional racing.
The FN designation stands for Stilo's Formula Naked configuration. Unlike the ST5 GT, the FN eliminates the external integrated side ports to reduce weight and create an exceptionally clean aerodynamic profile. The helmet can still be configured for communications, forced air, hydration, and helmet eject systems through Stilo's purpose-built accessory system.
For drivers competing at the highest levels of motorsport—or racers who simply refuse to compromise on protection—the ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP delivers exceptional safety, low weight, comfort, and professional-grade functionality.
FIA 8860-2018 ABP Advanced Ballistic Protection
ABP stands for Advanced Ballistic Protection. FIA developed the ABP specification to provide increased protection to the frontal area of the helmet, particularly around the forehead and visor opening.
The ABP design incorporates additional protection directly into the helmet structure instead of relying on the separate Zylon visor panel used with previous-generation FIA 8860-2010 Formula 1 helmets.
The FIA 8860-2018 ABP testing procedure includes demanding impact and projectile testing intended for motorsports where drivers may be exposed to debris and other high-energy impacts. The result is an exceptionally protective helmet designed for the highest levels of professional competition.
Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction
The Stilo ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP is constructed from 100% medium-tensile carbon fiber, providing an outstanding combination of strength, rigidity, impact performance, and low weight.
Reducing helmet weight is especially important in open-wheel and high-downforce race cars, where sustained lateral G-forces can place significant loads on the driver's head and neck. The lightweight construction of the ST5 FN helps reduce fatigue during long sessions without sacrificing the protection required by the FIA 8860-2018 ABP standard.
Designed for Open-Cockpit and Professional Racing
The ST5 FN ABP is particularly well suited for open-wheel and open-cockpit racing where the driver's helmet is more exposed to airflow, debris, and other environmental factors.
The ABP configuration uses a reduced-height eyeport and specialized visor to increase protection around the forehead area. Combined with the aerodynamic ST5 shell, the helmet provides a compact and streamlined profile for high-speed racing.
Formula Naked FN Design
The FN or Formula Naked configuration removes the external side accessory ports found on the Stilo ST5 GT. Eliminating these ports reduces weight and creates a smooth exterior shell ideally suited to Formula, prototype, and open-wheel applications.
Despite the clean exterior, the ST5 FN remains compatible with a wide range of Stilo accessories and can be configured for driver communications, hydration, top forced air, and helmet eject systems.
Integrated Accessory Capability
The ST5 FN was designed so important racing accessories can be added without creating unnecessary cables, hoses, or components hanging around the driver's helmet.
Compatible with Stilo FN communication systems
Compatible with Stilo top forced-air systems
Compatible with helmet eject systems
Compatible with hydration systems
Available aero accessories for open-cockpit applications
Compatible with Stilo ABP-specific visors
Communications, forced-air components, hydration equipment, and other optional accessories are sold separately unless specifically included with the selected configuration.
Factory-Installed HANS Posts
The Stilo ST5 FN 8860-2018 ABP comes with factory-installed HANS posts, making it ready for use with compatible head-and-neck restraint systems.
Factory installation provides a clean, properly positioned attachment solution without requiring the racer to install restraint anchors separately.
ST5 ABP Visor System
The ABP helmet uses a specialized reduced-height eyeport and visor designed specifically around the Advanced Ballistic Protection requirements.
Stilo's center visor locking system allows the shield to be opened and closed easily, even while wearing racing gloves. Tear-off posts allow the helmet to be configured for racing environments where debris and contamination can quickly affect visibility.
Important: Because of the different eyeport design, always verify that replacement shields and accessories are specifically compatible with the ST5 ABP helmet.
Improved Interior Comfort
Stilo redesigned the ST5 interior with more contoured cheek pads and padding designed to improve comfort and helmet stability.
Removable earmuff cushions help isolate the driver's ears from surrounding noise, creating a quieter environment and providing dedicated space for compatible communications equipment.
Eight-Point Top Ventilation
Eight ventilation openings across the top of the helmet help manage airflow and can also be used with the optional Stilo ST5 Top Air System.
A forced-air system can be especially valuable in endurance racing, enclosed cockpits, and hot-weather competition where maintaining driver comfort and concentration becomes increasingly important.

Stilo ST5 full-face helmets use two different shell sizes to provide a better-fitting helmet without adding unnecessary padding and weight.
Competition Motorsport Fit Note: We have found that customers who normally wear a size 59 in some other helmet brands are often more comfortable moving to a Stilo size 60. Stilo helmets tend to fit slightly snugger than many competing brands, so accurate measurement is important.
How to Measure for a Stilo Helmet
Use a flexible cloth measuring tape and measure around the widest part of your head. Position the tape approximately one inch above your eyebrows, run it above your ears, and continue around the widest portion at the back of your head.
Take the measurement two or three times and use the largest number. A properly fitted racing helmet should fit firmly and evenly around your head without creating painful pressure points.

PBcLc Shell Construction and Advanced Impact Protection
The Arai GP-7 uses Arai's proprietary PBcLc (Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate) shell construction, developed to provide excellent shell strength while maintaining the flexibility required for effective energy management.
The shell incorporates Arai's Peripherally Belted design philosophy, which emphasizes shell integrity around the critical eyeport area.
This advanced construction works together with the helmet's multi-density EPS liner to help manage impact energy during demanding racing conditions.
The GP-7 shares its fundamental shell shape with the GP-7SRC racing helmet platform, bringing technology developed through professional motorsport into a more accessible racing helmet.
Snell SA2020 and FIA 8859-2015 Racing Certifications
The Arai GP-7 is certified to Snell SA2020 and FIA 8859-2015, providing established motorsport helmet safety certification for qualifying racing applications.
These standards include testing requirements for automotive racing helmet impact performance and related protective characteristics.
The FIA 8859-2015 homologation label is applied to the helmet's interior liner.
Important: Racing organizations establish their own helmet certification acceptance rules. Because this is an earlier-generation SA2020 helmet, confirm that your specific racing organization continues to accept its certification before competition.
Expanded Eyeport for Improved Peripheral Vision
The Arai GP-7 features an enlarged eyeport designed to improve driver visibility compared with previous Arai racing helmet generations.
The wider opening supports improved peripheral awareness, allowing drivers to more easily monitor mirrors, nearby competitors, cockpit instruments, and corner workers.
The GP-7's eyeport geometry, shield design, and pivot hardware were developed using technology derived from Arai's professional racing helmet platforms.
Improved visibility is particularly valuable in GT racing, road racing, endurance competition, and other applications where driver awareness is essential.
Positive Shield Latch for Secure Visor Operation
The Arai GP-7 uses a positive shield latching mechanism designed to provide secure closure while maintaining convenient operation.
The latch is integrated into the shield system rather than added as a separate external component.
This design helps provide reliable visor retention while allowing normal shield opening and closing.
Drivers can operate the shield during preparation, pit stops, and racing activities according to Arai's operating instructions.
Updated Shield Pivot Hardware and Aerodynamic Design
The GP-7 incorporates updated shield pivot hardware with a redesigned one-piece track slider and low-profile mounting components.
The hardware uses a T20 Torx adjustment system that allows the shield pivot arrangement to sit lower on the helmet shell.
This design supports Arai's philosophy of creating smooth, rounded helmet surfaces intended to encourage impact forces to glance away from the shell.
The revised system also maintains the helmet's enlarged eyeport and convenient shield operation.
Advanced GP-7 Ventilation System
Arai developed the GP-7 ventilation system to improve airflow and comfort during demanding motorsport competition.
The helmet includes three larger, closeable intake vents with enlarged air passages designed to direct cooling airflow into the helmet.
Four enlarged exhaust cowls work with the intake system to help remove warm air from the interior.
A redesigned rear exhaust arrangement improves airflow management while supporting aerodynamic efficiency.
This ventilation system is especially beneficial during warm-weather track days, extended endurance sessions, and high-temperature racing conditions.
Facial Contour System Cheek Pads for a Secure Fit
The Arai GP-7 features sculpted Facial Contour System (FCS) cheek pads designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit around the driver's lower jaw.
The cheek pad shape helps stabilize the helmet while reducing unwanted movement during high-speed driving.
Its design also helps reduce wind and cockpit noise entering through the lower helmet opening.
Compatible replacement cheek pads are available in different thicknesses, allowing drivers to refine the fit without replacing the entire helmet.
This adjustable fit system is especially useful for drivers who need additional cheek support or prefer a more personalized interior configuration.
Intermediate Oval Helmet Fit
The Arai GP-7 is designed around an intermediate oval head shape, a common fit profile among automotive racing helmets.
A properly fitted helmet should provide consistent contact around the head without excessive pressure points or unwanted movement.
To select the appropriate size, measure the circumference of your head approximately one inch above your eyebrows and around the widest part at the back of your head.
Repeat the measurement several times and use Arai's official sizing recommendations when selecting your helmet.
Because every driver's head shape is different, a professional helmet fitting is recommended whenever possible.
Factory-Installed M6 HANS and FHR Mounting Provisions
The Arai GP-7 includes factory-installed M6 threaded inserts designed for compatible frontal head restraint mounting hardware.
These mounting provisions allow drivers to install approved HANS/FHR anchor posts without modifying the protective helmet shell.
The helmet features a flattened mounting surface around each threaded insert, allowing compatible anchor bases to rest flush against the shell.
Important: The M6 threaded inserts are factory installed. HANS/FHR anchor posts are separate components unless specifically included in the purchased configuration.
Always follow the anchor manufacturer's installation instructions and the requirements of your sanctioning organization.
Eject System Ready Crown Pad
The Arai GP-7 is designed to accommodate an optional helmet Eject system.
A pre-cut pocket beneath the crown pad allows installation of compatible Eject equipment.
The optional system is intended to assist trained safety personnel with controlled helmet removal following a racing incident.
Note: The Eject system is an optional accessory and is not included with the standard GP-7 helmet.
Integrated Hydration System Compatibility
The GP-7 features a removable center chin liner designed to simplify installation of compatible driver hydration equipment.
The chin liner provides four available drink tube routing locations, allowing racers to select a configuration suited to their cockpit layout and equipment.
Hydration compatibility is particularly valuable for endurance racing and extended track sessions in hot environments.
Compatible drink tubes, valves, and hydration equipment are sold separately.

Lightweight Fiberglass/Kevlar Multi Sandwich Fiber Shell
The Stilo ST5 GT Composite features an advanced Fiberglass/Kevlar Multi Sandwich Fiber (MSF) shell designed to balance structural strength, impact-energy management, and helmet weight.
Its composite shell construction uses multiple reinforcing materials arranged to provide the protective performance required by Snell SA2020 and FIA 8859-2015.
Stilo manufactures the composite shell using an autoclave molding process designed to deliver consistent construction and strength throughout the helmet.
The ST5 GT Composite offers a premium alternative to conventional fiberglass racing helmets while maintaining a comfortable, manageable weight for extended driving sessions.
Snell SA2020 and FIA 8859-2015 Racing Certification
The Stilo ST5 GT Composite carries two recognized automotive motorsport safety certifications:
Snell SA2020: Automotive racing helmet certification addressing impact performance and other motorsport-specific safety requirements.
FIA 8859-2015: FIA homologation for racing helmets used in approved motorsport applications.
These certifications make the ST5 GT Composite suitable for numerous road racing, club racing, track-day, and endurance racing applications where the relevant standards remain accepted.
Important: FIA 8859-2015 is not the same as FIA 8860-2018. Racing organizations establish their own accepted certification standards and expiration requirements. Always verify helmet eligibility before competition.
Large Eyeport for Exceptional Driver Visibility
Visibility is one of the defining characteristics of the Stilo ST5 GT Composite.
Its generous eyeport design provides excellent peripheral vision, allowing drivers to maintain greater awareness of mirrors, approaching competitors, dashboard instruments, and cockpit surroundings.
The expanded opening is particularly valuable for GT and endurance racing, where situational awareness is essential when navigating traffic and monitoring vehicle information.
The helmet's eyeport design also supports Stilo's extensive selection of replacement visors and optical accessories.
3mm Clear Anti-Fog Racing Visor
The ST5 GT Composite includes a 3mm clear visor with anti-fog treatment designed to help maintain visibility in changing cockpit conditions.
Stilo's central visor locking mechanism provides an accessible closure point that can be operated while wearing racing gloves.
The ST5 visor platform supports multiple optional shield finishes, allowing drivers to tailor their setup for different lighting conditions.
Compatible options may include clear, smoke, mirrored, and iridium finishes, depending on availability.
Explore the Stilo ST5 and ST5.1 Replacement Helmet Shields for additional options.
Integrated Side Ports for Maximum Customization
One of the ST5 GT Composite's most distinctive features is its integrated side accessory port system.
Unlike conventional racing helmets that may require external accessory mounting arrangements, Stilo designed the ST5 shell with dedicated side ports that accommodate compatible components while maintaining a clean helmet profile.
Depending on the selected installation, the helmet can accommodate:
Integrated communication electronics
Compatible microphones and speakers
Radio and intercom connection systems
Driver hydration equipment and drinking tubes
Side-air ventilation accessories
Compatible air-cooling systems
This modular configuration makes the ST5 GT particularly useful for endurance racing teams and drivers who need to customize their helmets for different vehicles.
Communication electronics, hydration systems, air accessories, and other optional equipment are sold separately unless specifically included in the selected configuration.
Noise-Attenuating Earmuffs for GT and Endurance Racing
The Stilo ST5 GT Composite includes removable noise-attenuating earmuff cushions designed to reduce unwanted sound inside noisy competition vehicles.
By creating additional isolation around the ears, these cushions can help improve driver comfort during extended racing sessions.
They also provide a useful foundation for compatible integrated communication systems, allowing microphone and speaker equipment to be installed according to driver preference.
For endurance racers, effective sound management can make radio communication easier to understand during long stints.
Removable Cheek Pads and Adjustable Interior Fit
Proper helmet fit is essential for protective performance, comfort, and stability.
The ST5 GT Composite incorporates removable cheek and crown comfort padding, allowing compatible interior components to be exchanged when appropriate.
This flexibility enables drivers to fine-tune the helmet's fit without compromising the integrity of the protective shell.
The black Nomex interior provides fire-resistant materials suitable for automotive motorsport applications.
Stilo's Intermediate Oval interior shape is designed to provide secure contact around the head while accommodating a broad range of drivers.
Replacement pads must be selected specifically for the ST5 helmet platform and installed according to manufacturer recommendations.
Two Shell Sizes for Reduced Weight and Bulk
The Stilo ST5 GT Composite uses two exterior shell sizes to provide more proportional helmet dimensions across its available size range.
The smaller shell accommodates helmet sizes 54, 55, 57, and 59, while the larger shell accommodates sizes 60, 61, 63, and 64.
This approach helps reduce unnecessary exterior material around smaller head sizes while providing adequate interior dimensions for larger drivers.
The transition between the small and large shell occurs at size 60, making it particularly important to evaluate fit when selecting between sizes 59 and 60.
M6 HANS and FHR Anchor Compatibility
The Stilo ST5 GT Composite includes factory-installed M6 threaded mounting receivers designed for approved Frontal Head Restraint hardware.
These threaded mounting points allow compatible HANS and other FHR anchor posts to be installed without modifying the helmet shell.
Important: M6 threaded receivers are included, but HANS/FHR anchor posts are sold separately unless specified in the selected package.
Always use approved anchor hardware and follow the installation requirements of the helmet and head-and-neck-restraint manufacturers.
Optional Forced-Air Cooling and Hydration Systems
For drivers competing in hot environments or extended endurance races, the ST5 GT Composite can be configured with compatible Stilo ventilation and hydration accessories.
Available configurations include selected side-air and top-air systems that can help introduce external cooling air into the helmet.
Hydration accessories allow compatible drinking tubes to be routed through the helmet's integrated accessory system.
The helmet's modular design helps keep these systems organized while reducing interference with the driver's comfort padding and cockpit equipment.
Air-cooling hardware, hydration components, and external cooling equipment are available separately.

Stilo Venti Sport Jet HelmetSizing Chart
Proper helmet fit is essential for driver protection, comfort, and stability. The Stilo Venti Sport Jet is offered in two shell sizes to accommodate different head circumferences.
To determine your helmet size, use a flexible measuring tape around the widest part of your head, approximately one inch above your eyebrows. Keep the tape level and take multiple measurements to confirm the circumference.
A racing helmet should fit snugly without excessive movement or painful pressure points. Always compare your measurement with the manufacturer's sizing recommendations.
Stilo Fitment Tip: Some drivers who normally wear a size 59 in other helmet brands find Stilo size 60 more comfortable because it uses the larger shell. Fit varies by head shape, so this is a general recommendation rather than a guaranteed fit.

Sparco Racing Helmets History of Innovation and Excellence
Today's Sparco auto racing helmet line is the result of over 40 years of research and development experience, including wind tunnel testing. The new range was designed to meet the requirements of both Snell SA2020 and FIA 8859-2015 ratings. To meet these requirements Sparco introduced new innovations for driver safety and comfort. All auto racing shells now have layers of Carbon-Kevlar for greater strength. Sparco helmets have been wind-tunnel tested to maximize exterior vent placement and air flow. The EPS interiors and padding have also been redesigned for increased air flow and driver comfort. Sparco also introduced a new size: Medium/Large. This M/L size takes advantage of using the smaller helmet shell which is lighter and more compact.

Proper Helmet Fitment
The most effective helmet is one that fits properly. To measure your head, have an assistant use a dressmaker's tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head. Start at a point about an inch above your eyebrows, looping around the back of your head at the point that results in the largest measurement, and finally around to the front again. It's a good idea to take two or three measurements to make sure you have the largest one.

Bell M.8 SA2020 Racing HelmetÂ
Wide Eyeport, Lightweight Composite Protection
The Bell M.8 SA2020 Racing Helmet combines classic Bell motorsport styling with modern safety engineering, lightweight composite construction, and exceptional driver visibility. Developed as the next evolution of Bell's legendary M-Series helmet design, the M.8 is ideal for racers who want a larger eyeport, outstanding comfort, and versatile performance for a wide range of automotive racing applications.
Featuring an oversized eye opening that is especially accommodating for drivers wearing eyeglasses, the Bell M.8 offers an expanded field of vision without sacrificing the protective advantages of a full-face racing helmet.
With Snell SA2020 certification, a multi-density impact-absorbing liner, fire-resistant interior, adjustable ventilation, and integrated M6 head and neck restraint mounting points, the Bell M.8 delivers dependable performance for track days, road racing, autocross, and other motorsport applications where its certification is accepted.

Extra-Large Eyeport for Maximum Racing Visibility
One of the defining features of the Bell M.8 racing helmet is its exceptionally large eyeport. Designed to offer greater visibility than many traditional full-face racing helmets, the wide opening helps drivers maintain awareness of their surroundings, mirrors, gauges, and changing track conditions.
The expanded eye opening is particularly appealing to drivers who wear prescription glasses or sunglasses, providing additional clearance compared with helmets featuring narrower eye openings.
The M.8 is an excellent option for drivers transitioning from street driving to track events who want a full-face helmet with a more open, comfortable field of vision.
Lightweight Composite Shell Construction
The Bell M.8 uses a lightweight composite shell manufactured using a high-pressure molding process designed to provide consistent structural strength and durability.
This construction balances protection and comfort, helping reduce unnecessary helmet weight during extended racing sessions.
Its traditional Bell shell design provides the familiar appearance of the M-Series while incorporating updated materials and motorsport safety technology.
Advanced Multi-Density Impact Protection
Inside the composite shell, the Bell M.8 features an advanced multi-piece, multi-density impact-absorbing liner engineered to manage energy across different impact conditions.
The liner uses multiple densities of energy-absorbing material to help manage forces during both lower- and higher-velocity impacts.
Working together with the composite outer shell, this impact management system contributes to the helmet's Snell SA2020 protective performance.
Comfort-Plus FR Interior for Driver Comfort
The Bell M.8 features a black Comfort-Plus FR interior designed to provide a comfortable and supportive fit while incorporating fire-resistant materials appropriate for automotive motorsports.
The interior fabric promotes moisture management and durability, helping drivers remain comfortable during demanding driving conditions.
Multi-density interior foam provides additional fit support, helping keep the helmet secure during acceleration, braking, and cornering.
Adjustable Ventilation for Improved Airflow
The Bell M.8 incorporates a versatile ventilation system designed for different track conditions and driver preferences.
Direct-flow chin bar vents allow incoming air to enter the front of the helmet, while manual lever-controlled upper intake vents can be opened or closed to regulate airflow.
This configuration gives drivers greater control over ventilation during hot-weather events and cooler racing conditions.
The adjustable ventilation system helps make the M.8 a versatile choice for both open-wheel and enclosed-cockpit applications, subject to event safety requirements.
Bell SRV-8 Clear Shield with SRV-1 Pivot System
The Bell M.8 comes equipped with a 3mm SRV-8 clear face shield designed to complement the helmet's oversized eyeport.
The SRV-8 shield provides optical clarity and uses Bell's SRV-1 pivot system for opening, closing, and shield replacement.
A synthetic rubber gasket around the shield opening helps reduce the entry of dirt, water, and unwanted air when the shield is closed.
Replacement shields are available in different tint configurations to suit changing light conditions and driver preferences.
Shop Bell SRV-8 Replacement Helmet Shields for compatible options.
HANS and FHR Compatibility with Integrated M6 Terminals
The Bell M.8 SA2020 helmet includes integrated M6 threaded terminals designed for mounting compatible frontal head restraint anchor hardware.
These mounting points allow drivers to install approved HANS or other compatible FHR anchor systems without drilling or modifying the helmet shell.
HANS/FHR anchor posts are sold separately unless specifically included in the selected product package. Always use manufacturer-approved mounting hardware and follow the installation instructions provided with the restraint system.
Integrated Communication and Hydration System Channels
The Bell M.8 includes integrated channels in the facepiece designed to accommodate compatible communication and hydration accessories.

This engineered impact-management system provides an important foundation for the helmet's motorsport safety certification.
Snell SA2020 Certified for Automotive Racing
The B2 Icon is certified to the Snell SA2020 automotive racing helmet standard, a recognized safety certification used across many motorsport disciplines.
Snell SA2020 certification indicates that the helmet design meets the applicable testing and performance requirements established by the Snell Memorial Foundation.
The B2 Icon is suitable for many racing and performance-driving applications where Snell SA2020 open-face helmets remain accepted.
Important: Racing organizations establish their own helmet certification and eligibility requirements. Always verify that Snell SA2020 helmets and open-face designs are permitted for your specific event, vehicle, and racing series.
Open-Face Design for Maximum Driver Visibility
One of the biggest advantages of the B2 Icon Open-Face Racing Helmet is its expansive field of vision.
Unlike full-face helmets, the Icon does not include a chin bar or full-face shield, allowing drivers to enjoy greater facial openness and convenient communication with instructors, crew members, and passengers.
This design makes the helmet especially appealing for autocross competitors, HPDE participants, driving instructors, and drivers of closed-cockpit race cars.
The open-face configuration can also be convenient for drivers who wear prescription glasses or prefer using separate eye protection.
Safety Note: Open-face helmets offer less facial coverage than full-face helmets. Consider your vehicle, racing environment, and sanctioning-body requirements when choosing your helmet.
Adjustable Visor Peak with Light Smoke Anti-Glare Strip
The B2 Icon includes an adjustable visor peak with an integrated light smoke anti-glare strip designed to help manage sunlight during daytime driving.
Drivers can position the peak to help reduce glare and improve forward visibility in bright conditions.
The visor peak is particularly useful during autocross, road racing, and track-day events when low-angle sunlight can affect visibility.
The peak assembly can also be removed or serviced using compatible B2 replacement parts.
Integrated M6 Terminals for HANS and FHR Compatibility
The B2 Icon includes factory-installed M6 threaded terminals designed for attaching compatible frontal head restraint hardware.
These mounting points allow drivers to install approved HANS or other compatible FHR anchor systems without drilling new holes into the helmet shell.
HANS/FHR anchor posts are not included with the standard helmet and must be purchased separately.
Always use compatible mounting hardware and follow the helmet and restraint manufacturers' installation instructions.

Drivers should consider the potential risks of their motorsport discipline and select a helmet design appropriate for the application.
