Bell BR8 Carbon Fiber Auto Racing Helmet SA2025
This is a pre-order, shipping after Q3 2025.

The Bell BR8 Carbon is a versatile, ultra-light helmet built for off-road and dirt track racing. Its configurable forced-air system lets you run standard, left or right side-air, left or right three-quarter top-air, or top-air using the included kit. One helmet, multiple setups—tune cooling and cockpit integration without changing models.
Ultimate Performance, Unmatched Safety and Versatility
An aerodynamic front duckbill improves high-speed stability. A Double Screen Anti-Fog (DSAF) insert maintains a positive, fog-resistant visor seal across changing conditions. Rear-facing venturi vents help block dust and debris while still allowing forced air to flow freely. A unique internal air-chamber system distributes airflow evenly around the head, and the BR8 can be used with or without ear cups.
