Bell HP77 Carbon Race Helmet
Bell HP77 Carbon Helmet meets the ultimate standard, FIA 8860-2018 ABP (Advanced Ballistic Protection), which has been in Formula One since 2019.
Bell HP helmets have been developed to meet or exceed the FIA8860 Advanced Helmet Standard. This standard was developed by the FIA to improve overall helmet performance and safety and is known as the most severe racing helmet standard. Since 2004, when Bell introduced the first FIA8860 helmet in the world, HP helmets have been constantly improved. The current models are the direct result of our intense Research & Development program combined with a close collaboration with F1 and other top professional drivers and their teams.
For maximum safety, the Bell HP helmets feature a pure carbon shell using proprietary high-pressure molding technology, combined with a specific expanded polystyrene energy-absorbing liner. Tests show that in certain impacts, the Bell HP helmets absorb up to 40 percent more energy!
Depending on the fit pad size and the mounted accessories such as spoilers, flaps, or air intake, the Bell HP helmets weigh only 1290 grams (+/- 5%) in size 59, making them the lightest and safest helmets currently available in the world for automobile racing.
Previously only made available to top professional drivers, you can now for a small additional cost, customize your helmet interior too with a choice of lining colours. Standard off-the-shelf helmets are supplied with a grey interior colour, however, the optional colour choices include White, Red, Purple, Blue, Green, Tan, Pink, Orange and Neon Yellow. Please note: All helmets ordered with a customized interior lining colour are taken as special orders only and, as such, are non-returnable. A 100%, non-refundable, deposit will be taken at the point of order. Please allow for an approximate lead time of 7-8 weeks for all customized helmets.
