The Bell Star debuted as the world’s first full-face helmet in 1966. The California-based company wasn’t going to let its flagship helmet become a one-hit wonder either. Just nine years later, in 1975, the Bell Star II introduced the first flip-up visor system to the market. That innovative spirit still lives on today, with Bell expanding the technologically-advanced Star into a full-fledged lineup.
At the head of the family table, the Bell Pro Star and Race Star Flex DLX hold court. With Grand Prix- and Superbike-proven pedigree to its name, the Race Star distills today’s latest protective technologies into a race-ready helmet. A three-layer Flex impact liner, Bell’s Raceview profile, and a 3K carbon fiber shell leave no doubts about the Race Star’s track ambitions. Not everyone is looking for a sharp-edged, dedicated race helmet, though.
