What has changed
Every Bell motorsport helmet on the site now has a fuller description and the current homologation details, so it is clear which standard each helmet meets before you order. New for 2025 are the GT6 family of full face helmets and the updated Mag-10 open face helmets.
Bell was the first manufacturer to gain the new FIA 8859-2024 homologation, and the new GT6 and Mag-10 helmets carry it. Our guide to the latest FIA homologation for helmets explains what the new standard means.
The GT6 full face range
The GT6 is Bell's full face helmet for car racing. The family runs from the GT6 Sport through the GT6 Pro to the carbon models, including the GT6 Carbon, the GT6 RD Carbon and the GT6 Rally and GT6 Carbon Rally.
Most GT6 models are approved to both FIA 8859-2024 and Snell SA2020. The GT6 Sport is approved to FIA 8859-2024 only, so check whether your series also asks for Snell.

Open face or full face?
It is one of the questions we get asked most. A full face helmet such as the GT6 protects the face and chin, and it can be used in open and closed cars. An open face helmet such as the Mag-10 is for closed cars only, where the car itself gives the driver more protection.
Garreth’s advice is to check your championship’s rules first, then choose the style. If you might race an open car or a single seater later, a full face helmet covers both. You can see the open face helmets we list in our open face helmet range.
Are the 2025 Bell helmets FIA approved?
Yes. The new GT6 and Mag-10 helmets are approved to FIA 8859-2024.
Do all the new Bell helmets have Snell SA2020?
Most do. The GT6 Sport and Mag-10 Rally Sport are approved to FIA 8859-2024 only.
Can I use an open face helmet in any car?
No. Open face helmets such as the Mag-10 are for closed cars only; a full face helmet covers open and closed cars.
What is the Bell GT6?
It is Bell’s full face car racing helmet, from the GT6 Sport through to the carbon and rally models.
A full face helmet on the newest FIA 8859-2024 standard, for open or closed cars.
