GEAR // THE BELL 'STAR CLASSIC' HELMET

In 1966, Bell introduced the Bell Star helmet. What was the world’s first full-face motorsports helmet, the Bell Star represented a technological leap forward and quickly earned the admiration and support of the world’s top motorsport racers and enthusiasts. A number of famous race drivers such as Jacky Ickx, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Gilles Villeneuve wore the Bell Star during the nineteen seventies. Now, some 40 years later, Bell has introduced a helmet they are calling the Star Classic, much to the delight of classic car enthusiasts and historic car drivers. The Star Classic reintroduces the same shape as the famous Bell Star from the seventies but is produced to the latest safety standard (Snell SA2005) using the most recent production techniques and high tech materials.
