If you race a closed cockpit car and want the very cool look of Carbon, this is the perfect helmet for you.

Racers demand the perfect combination of performance and protection every time they hit the track. Bell delivers that with the Carbon Series. Bell’s Carbon Series combines leading-edge design, superior ventilation, performance features, an advanced energy management system, and a lightweight carbon shell made using Bell’s proprietary high-pressure molding system to deliver the best performance to value ratio in motorsports. The Carbon Series is designed for the racer who values the latest technical innovations and is looking for a performance edge.

Features and Benefits

• Ultra-lightweight carbon shell, minimizes neck loading and fatigue 
• Large eyeport for enhanced visibility.  This is especially nice if you wear glasses as it makes getting your glasses on/off easier.
• Versatile ventilation system featuring lower front chin bar ventilation and upper manual lever air intake vents that can be opened and closed
• Synthetic rubber gasket seals to prevent dirt and water from entering the helmet.  The rubber gasket is superior when compared to a foam gasket that comes on less expensive helmets. And makes a good seal when the visor is down.
• Integrated channels in face piece offer multiple options to install drink tube and radio system.  This simply makes it easier to install a radio microphone over installing a mic in helmet without integrated channels
