Kart Racing Helmet Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Remember that safety is paramount in kart racing, and choosing the right helmet and maintaining it properly is essential for your protection on the track. Consult the professionals at Competition Motorsport any time you have specific questions about your racing helmet.
Why do I need a racing helmet?Auto and kart racing helmets are essential for protecting your head in high-speed accidents. They also shield against debris and, in some motorsports, fire—making them a non-negotiable safety requirement.
How do I choose the right size Kart Racing helmet?Use a flexible tape to measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare the measurement to the size chart. For more help, read our blog on how to fit your helmet properly at Competition Motorsport.
Can I use a motorcycle helmet for kart racing?No. Motorcycle helmets lack the kart-specific certifications and features like proper ventilation and impact resistance optimized for karting. Always use a helmet rated for motorsport competition.
How often should I replace my kart racing helmet?Replace your helmet every few years depending on usage and the manufacturer's guidance. If it’s been dropped, involved in an impact, or shows signs of wear, replace it immediately.
Are expensive racing helmets safer than budget ones?Yes, typically. While both must meet minimum safety standards, premium helmets offer lighter materials, better fit, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced comfort, all of which impact race performance and fatigue.
How do I maintain and clean my kart racing helmet?Clean the exterior and interior using a helmet-specific care product like the Molecule Helmet Care Kit. Avoid submerging the helmet or using abrasive cleaners. Visors should be cleaned gently to avoid scratching.
Do I need to wear a balaclava under my kart racing helmet?While not required for all karting events, a balaclava enhances comfort, keeps your helmet liner clean, and helps wick sweat. Fire-rated balaclavas are mandatory in sanctioned auto racing and recommended for high-performance karting.
Can I wear glasses with my kart racing helmet?Yes. Wide eye ports, make it compatible with most prescription glasses and racing eyewear. A good fit ensures the glasses remain stable and fog-free.
Are carbon fiber helmets better?Carbon fiber helmets are lighter and stronger, reducing fatigue during long races while offering excellent impact protection. They are a top choice for competitive drivers.
Can I use a used helmet for racing?It’s not recommended. Damage or degradation may not be visible, and older helmets might not meet current safety standards. Always buy new from an authorized dealer like Competition Motorsport.
What's the importance of proper helmet ventilation?Good ventilation helps manage heat and moisture inside the helmet, reducing fatigue and keeping you focused throughout your race.
How do I store my kart racing helmet between races?Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded helmet bag like our Competition Motorsport Evo Helmet Bag to prevent damage during transport or storage.
What is the difference between Snell K2020 and CMR2016 certifications?
Snell K2020 is designed for adult karting helmets, focusing on impact protection. CMR2016 is tailored for drivers under 15, offering a lighter helmet to reduce neck strain while maintaining safety standards.
Are tear-off visors necessary for kart racing?
Tear-off visors are beneficial in maintaining clear vision during races by allowing drivers to remove a dirty visor layer quickly. They are especially useful in outdoor karting where debris and dirt are common.
How do I know if my helmet is still safe to use?
Helmets should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or damage. If a helmet has been involved in a significant impact or shows signs of degradation, it should be replaced immediately. Additionally, helmets should be replaced every 5 years, even if no damage is visible.
Can I customize my kart racing helmet?

General Helmet Questions
What is the best helmet for kart racing?The Bell KC7 CMR Carbon Fiber Karting Helmet is widely regarded as one of the best karting helmets available. It features a lightweight carbon shell, Snell K2020 certification, and race-proven performance trusted by competitive drivers worldwide.
Why do I need a kart racing helmet?A certified kart helmet protects you from high-speed impacts, flying debris, and (in some motorsports) fire hazards. It’s your most important piece of safety gear on the track.
How do I choose the right helmet size?Use a flexible tape to measure your head circumference just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare your measurement to Bell’s sizing chart. A proper fit ensures maximum safety and comfort.
What certifications should I look for?For karting, look for the Snell K2020 certification, the most widely accepted helmet standard for youth and adult kart racers. Avoid street-use-only (DOT) helmets.
Can I use a motorcycle helmet for kart racing?No. Motorcycle helmets are not designed for karting and lack kart-specific safety certifications, airflow design, and impact zones optimized for motorsports.
How often should I replace my helmet?Replace your helmet every 5 years or sooner if it shows signs of damage, wear, or has been involved in an impact. Even if unused, materials degrade over time.
Are expensive helmets safer than budget ones?Yes. While all certified helmets meet minimum safety requirements, premium helmets offer better materials, lighter weight, enhanced aerodynamics, and more comfort—key factors in long, competitive race days.
Helmet Usage & Maintenance
How do I clean and maintain my helmet?Use a helmet-specific cleaner like the Molecule Care Kit. Avoid submerging the helmet in water or using abrasive cleaners. Clean the visor with a soft microfiber cloth.
Should I wear a balaclava under my helmet?Yes. A balaclava adds comfort, protects your helmet lining from sweat, and makes it easier to take on and off. Fire-rated balaclavas are recommended for high-performance karting and required in auto racing.
Can I wear glasses with a Bell helmet?Yes. Bell helmets feature wide eyeports that accommodate most prescription glasses and racing eyewear comfortably.
Are carbon fiber helmets better?Carbon fiber helmets are lighter, stronger, and more comfortable during long sessions. They reduce neck fatigue and provide exceptional impact protection.
Can I use a used helmet?It’s not recommended. Hidden damage or age-related material breakdown could compromise protection. Always buy new from a trusted dealer like Competition Motorsport.
Performance & Accessory Tips
How do I prevent helmet fogging?Use a helmet with anti-fog visors like Bell’s DSAF system, or apply anti-fog spray or inserts. Keeping your helmet well-ventilated also helps prevent fog buildup.
Why is ventilation important?Good ventilation reduces heat buildup and moisture, helping you stay cool, focused, and fatigue-free during long sessions.
How should I store my helmet between races?Keep it in a padded helmet bag, like our Evo Helmet Bag, and store in a cool, dry location away from sunlight and chemicals.
Certifications & Compatibility
What's the difference between Snell K2020 and CMR2016?Snell K2020 is for adult karting helmets. CMR2016 is designed for drivers under 15 and offers lighter weight to reduce neck fatigue while still meeting strict safety standards.
Are tear-off visors necessary?Yes. Tear-offs keep your visor clean during races by allowing you to peel off a dirty layer. They’re especially helpful in outdoor racing conditions with dirt, water, or oil on the track.
How do I know if my helmet is still safe?Inspect your helmet regularly for cracks, fading, or loose components. If it’s older than 5 years or has been in an impact, replace it immediately—even if it looks fine.
Can I customize my Bell helmet?Yes. Bell offers multiple color linings, spoiler kits, and visors. Just ensure you don’t drill or alter the helmet shell, as it will void certifications and compromise safety.
Where can I buy a certified Bell helmet?From the pros at Competition Motorsport. We carry the full line of Bell karting helmets and accessories, ship fast, and support racers at trackside events across the country.

Bell Kart Racing Helmet – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Remember that safety is paramount in kart racing, and choosing the right helmet and maintaining it properly is essential for your protection on the track. Consult the professionals at Competition Motorsport any time you have specific questions about your racing helmet.
What is the best helmet for kart racing? The Bell KC7-CMR is widely considered one of the best karting helmets, offering a carbon shell, Snell K2020 certification, and premium features for serious kart racers.
Why do I need a kart racing helmet?Auto and kart racing helmets are essential for protecting your head in high-speed accidents. They also shield against debris and, in some motorsports, fire—making them a non-negotiable safety requirement.
How do I choose the right size Kart Racing helmet? Use a flexible tape to measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare the measurement to Bell’s sizing chart. For more help, read our blog on how to fit your helmet properly at Competition Motorsport.
What safety standards should I look for in a kart racing helmet? Look for the Snell K2020 certification for karting. It ensures your helmet meets rigorous standards for impact protection. Unlike DOT (for street use), K2020 is designed specifically for motorsports.
Can I use a motorcycle helmet for kart racing? No. Motorcycle helmets lack the kart-specific certifications and features like proper ventilation and impact resistance optimized for karting. Always use a helmet rated for motorsport competition.
How often should I replace my kart racing helmet? Replace your helmet every few years depending on usage and the manufacturer's guidance. If it’s been dropped, involved in an impact, or shows signs of wear, replace it immediately.
Are expensive racing helmets safer than budget ones? Yes, typically. While both must meet minimum safety standards, premium helmets offer lighter materials, better fit, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced comfort, all of which impact race performance and fatigue.
How do I maintain and clean my kart racing helmet? Clean the exterior and interior using a helmet-specific care product like the Molecule Helmet Care Kit. Avoid submerging the helmet or using abrasive cleaners. Visors should be cleaned gently to avoid scratching.
Do I need to wear a balaclava under my kart racing helmet? While not required for all karting events, a balaclava enhances comfort, keeps your helmet liner clean, and helps wick sweat. Fire-rated balaclavas are mandatory in sanctioned auto racing and recommended for high-performance karting.
Is the Snell K rating important? Yes. The Snell K2020 certification is the most widely accepted kart helmet standard, required by many racing series to ensure safety and performance.
Can I wear glasses with my kart racing helmet? Yes. Wide eye ports, make it compatible with most prescription glasses and racing eyewear. A good fit ensures the glasses remain stable and fog-free.
Are carbon fiber helmets better? Carbon fiber helmets are lighter and stronger, reducing fatigue during long races while offering excellent impact protection. They are a top choice for competitive drivers.
Can I use a used helmet for racing? It’s not recommended. Damage or degradation may not be visible, and older helmets might not meet current safety standards. Always buy new from an authorized dealer like Competition Motorsport.
How can I prevent helmet fogging during races? Use a visor with built-in anti-fog technology like Bell’s DSAF system, or apply an anti-fog spray or insert. Keeping your helmet well-ventilated also helps.
What's the importance of proper helmet ventilation? Good ventilation helps manage heat and moisture inside the helmet, reducing fatigue and keeping you focused throughout your race.
How do I store my kart racing helmet between races? Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded helmet bag like our Competition Motorsport Evo Helmet Bag to prevent damage during transport or storage.
What is the difference between Snell K2020 and CMR2016 certifications?Snell K2020 is designed for adult karting helmets, focusing on impact protection. CMR2016 is tailored for drivers under 15, offering a lighter helmet to reduce neck strain while maintaining safety standards.
 Are tear-off visors necessary for kart racing?Tear-off visors are beneficial in maintaining clear vision during races by allowing drivers to remove a dirty visor layer quickly. They are especially useful in outdoor karting where debris and dirt are common.
How do I know if my helmet is still safe to use?Helmets should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or damage. If a helmet has been involved in a significant impact or shows signs of degradation, it should be replaced immediately. Additionally, helmets should be replaced every 5 years, even if no damage is visible.
 Can I customize my kart racing helmet?Yes, many manufacturers offer customization options for fit and aesthetics. However, any modifications should not compromise the helmet's structural integrity or safety certifications.
Where can I buy a certified racing helmet? Buy from trusted experts like Competition Motorsport, online or in-person at any of our retail locations located around the USA. We carry all major brands, including Arai, Bel, Stilo, and Schuberth, and support hundreds of racing events across the country.
