Bell Motorsport Helmets Updated for 2025
After a long-awaited release, the Bell GT6 Sport has finally landed, and we are excited to announce that it is now available in all sizes from XS to XL. For the first time, you can see it in person in our showroom, where it is on display and ready for you to try on. This means you can check the fit, feel the materials, and compare it with other helmets before committing to a purchase. For those who use a HANS device, the GT6 Sport can be ordered with pre-fitted HANS posts, ensuring full compatibility straight out of the box. If you do not need them, we also have versions without HANS posts, giving you complete flexibility to choose the setup that best suits your racing needs.
This model has been eagerly anticipated by track day drivers, club racers, and competitive motorsport enthusiasts, and for good reason. The GT6 Sport offers a premium blend of safety, style, and performance, with full FIA 8859-2024 approval making it eligible for a wide range of motorsport events. Whether you’re entering your first competitive race or simply want a helmet that can keep up with your growing track ambitions, the GT6 Sport brings Bell’s renowned helmet engineering into an accessible, high-performance package. Its arrival marks a fantastic opportunity for drivers to get their hands on one of the most versatile and well-designed helmets in Bell’s current lineup.
A New 2025 Design – From GT5 Sport To GT6 Sport
Replacing the outgoing GT5 Sport, the new Bell GT6 Sport builds on a proven foundation with updated styling and refinements. It’s a sleek closed-face helmet with a clean visor line and smooth chin shape, making it both modern-looking and highly aerodynamic.
One of the most noticeable upgrades is the wide visor aperture, which gives drivers a much better field of vision. This is especially beneficial in closed cockpit race cars, where visibility can often be restricted. The GT6 Sport’s design ensures you have maximum awareness of your surroundings, whether you are navigating a busy grid or clipping apexes on a hot lap.
Being a closed-face helmet also means it’s versatile enough for both closed and open cockpit racing, giving you the freedom to use one helmet across different racing disciplines.
Key Features:
- Has the latest FIA 8859-2024 standards.
- Wide visor aperture for enhanced vision
- Closed-face design for versatility in closed or open cockpit cars
- Optional HANS posts available
- Sizes XS to XL
- Lightweight composite shell
- Sleek visor and chin design

A New 2025 Design – From GT5 Sport To GT6 Sport
The Bell GT6 Sport builds on the success of its predecessor, the GT5 Sport, with a number of refinements that make it an even stronger choice for competitive drivers. One of the most noticeable changes is its sleek, modernised outer shell shape, with a cleaner visor line and a smoother chin bar design. These subtle updates not only give the helmet a more aerodynamic profile but also make it visually sharper and more in line with Bell’s high-end professional helmets. The overall structure remains robust, with a lightweight composite shell designed to provide exceptional strength without adding unnecessary weight, keeping driver comfort high during long stints behind the wheel.
Another key improvement is the wider visor aperture, which offers a significantly enhanced field of vision compared to the GT5 Sport. This design change is particularly important for closed-cockpit racers, where visibility can be restricted, but it also benefits open-cockpit drivers by offering better peripheral awareness on track. The GT6 Sport retains the versatility of a closed-face helmet, making it suitable for both open and closed cars, while incorporating ventilation ports and a comfortable interior lining that help maintain comfort in demanding race conditions. With these upgrades, the GT6 Sport represents a clear evolution of the GT5 Sport, taking what was already a trusted motorsport helmet and making it even more capable for today’s competitive environment.
Built To The Latest FIA 8859-2024 Standards
One of the standout features of the Bell GT6 Sport helmet is that it meets the latest FIA 8859-2024 safety standards. This is the newest homologation for motorsport helmets, designed to push safety performance even further than previous specifications. The 8859-2024 standard introduces more stringent impact testing, improved penetration resistance, and enhanced fire-retardant requirements for the helmet’s materials. It ensures that helmets can withstand the higher forces and more extreme conditions that modern motorsport can present.
For our customers, this means you are getting a helmet that is fully compliant with the most up-to-date FIA regulations, allowing you to compete in FIA-sanctioned events worldwide with confidence. It also means your helmet is future-proofed for many seasons to come, as organisers increasingly adopt this newer standard as a requirement for entry. Whether you are entering national club-level racing or aiming for international competition, the Bell GT6 Sport delivers a level of safety and compliance that gives you peace of mind every time you hit the track.
The Bell GT6 Helmet Range – Closed Face Racing Protection
The Bell GT6 range is one of the most versatile and advanced full-face helmet lineups available for the 2025 motorsport season. Designed for drivers competing in open or closed cockpit racing, the GT6 helmets are packed with modern features, clean aerodynamic lines, and robust FIA 8859-2024 and Snell SA2020 homologation for full motorsport use. These helmets are the ideal choice for anyone racing in high-speed or competitive environments where facial protection and safety are essential.
Each GT6 helmet in the lineup comes with HANS device compatibility, fire-retardant linings, and a secure double D-ring closure system. The range delivers a consistent level of comfort and protection across all models, with the ability to upgrade based on the intensity of your motorsport discipline.

Our Bell Helmet Display – GT6 Sport Vs GP3 Sport
We now have both the Bell GT6 Sport and Bell GP3 Sport helmets on display in-store, offering two FIA-approved closed-face designs to suit different needs.
The Bell GT6 Sport is ideal for closed cockpit cars thanks to its larger visor opening, which provides a superior field of view in environments where peripheral vision is vital. On the other hand, the Bell GP3 Sport has a longer chin bar and a narrower visor aperture, designed to give greater protection against debris and projectiles – a great option for open cockpit racing.
Having both in-store means you can compare them side-by-side, try them on, and decide which design best suits your driving environment.
Final Thoughts – The Wait Was Worth It
The arrival of the Bell GT6 Sport has been highly anticipated, and it certainly delivers. With a smart new design, improved visibility, FIA approval, and the choice of HANS compatibility, it’s a helmet that ticks every box for serious drivers. Now available in all sizes and ready to view and try in-store, it’s the perfect time to see for yourself why this is set to become one of Bell’s most popular models.
