The Fernando Alonso edition of the KC7-CMR carries the light blue, dark blue, yellow and orange livery of the two-time Formula One World Champion. Part BEL131109 was developed in collaboration with Alonso and reproduces the design from his F1 career years, applied to the CMR2016 standard required for youth karting.

Mechanically it is identical to the other KC7-CMR composite variants: hand-laminated shell on the HP7 aerodynamic platform, DSAF anti-fog visor, 14-channel ventilation and CMR2016 homologation. Sizes run 54 to 59cm.

The premium over the plain composite versions reflects the licensed livery and collaborative design work. The performance is the same. HANS posts are not included and cannot be fitted under CMR2016 rules. The helmet carries the standard Bell CMR mandatory label that race officials check at scrutineering in the under-15 class.

For the Hamilton 2022 livery in purple and fluro yellow, see BEL131108. For the Hamilton 2026 design in yellow and red, see 131122. For Lando Norris 2026 in fluro yellow and black, see 131121. For a choice of colours on the standard shell, the Champion Sport BEL13111 is the option.

Bell CMR helmets typically carry a lead time of two to three working days; ring us if you need this for a specific event date or want to confirm it meets the regulations for your karting series, and we will check before you order.

Karting helmet size guide

Kart helmet sizing is model by model rather than brand by brand. Sparco alone run six different ladders across their kart range, and none of them matches their car helmet ladder. The good news is that every size on this site carries the head measurement inside the size name, so you can ignore the letter completely.

Read the number, not the letterOur size options are written like “M (57cm-58cm)”. Measure your head once and pick the option whose centimetre range contains your number. That is all you need to do, and it works across every brand and model on the site.

Measure the head

1One inch above the eyebrowsThen round the widest part at the back. Soft tape, level all the way round.
2Take the largest readingMeasure three or four times and use the biggest number you get.
3Hair as you driveMeasure with the hair down or tied as it will be under the helmet.
4Children grow, helmets do notBuy to the measurement today. A helmet bought big to last two seasons moves on the head, and you will be replacing it anyway when it is outgrown.

The homologation decides how big the helmet goes

This is the thing that catches parents out. Snell-FIA CMR is the junior standard and every CMR helmet we stock stops at around 59 cm, because it is designed for a child. If your driver measures more than that, a CMR helmet does not exist in their size and you need a CMS, a Snell K or an FIA 8878 helmet instead. Check which your series accepts before you shop.

ECE 22-06 helmets are road motorcycle homologated. They are popular for practice, arrive-and-drive and indoor karting, and they cover the widest size range, but most competition series will not accept them. Check your regulations first.

Ladders by brand

All measurements are head circumference in centimetres.

Stilo state their helmets run slightly smaller than other brands, so if you are on a boundary go up. The ST6 KRT lists an L at 58 cm and an L at 59 cm; those are two liner thicknesses in the same shell.

None of these matches Sparco’s car helmet ladder, and several do not match each other. A Sparco kart M can be 56-57, 57-58 or 58-59 cm depending on which model you are looking at.

How it should fit

Snug enough that it is slightly awkward to pull on, with the cheek pads pressing the cheeks up. With the strap done up you should not be able to rotate the helmet forwards off the head. The lining beds in over the first few sessions, so a helmet that feels merely comfortable in the box will be loose by the end of the season.

For a child, check it again at the start of every season rather than assuming last year’s helmet still fits. Heads grow faster than you expect and the fit goes off before the helmet looks any different.

Tell us the series as well as the measurementHead circumference in centimetres and which championship or club you are running in. The homologation narrows the choice more than the size does, and we would rather get both right at once. Call 0115 989 3488 or email Sales@GSMPerformance.co.uk.

Ladders read from the size options on our own products, which carry the head measurement in the size name. Bell numeric models follow Bell’s published HP, Carbon and Pro chart. Arai and OMP kart ladders match their published car ladders. All checked 2 August 2026.

How do I get the right size?
Measure around your head at the widest point, about an inch above your eyebrows, and match the centimetres to the size options (this one runs from roughly 54cm to 59cm). The fit should be snug all round with no pressure points, and it should not rotate when you shake your head. Between sizes, try the smaller one first, as linings bed in. Our helmet buying guide covers fit in detail, or call us and we will talk it through.

Is it legal for competition karting?
This helmet carries Snell-FIA CMR 2016, a karting standard. CMR and CMS are the youth standards, the only ones accepted for karters under 15, so this is the right type of lid for cadet and junior classes. Karting standards are separate from the car racing list, so if you also race cars you will need a helmet from our motorsport helmet range. Check your club or championship regulations for the accepted list.

How do I look after it?
Store it in its bag away from heat and direct sun, clean the shell with mild soap and water only (solvents attack the finish and the shell), and let the lining air out after use. And the big one: after any significant impact, replace the helmet even if it looks fine, as the protective liner is designed to crush once.

Availability

Bell comes from central distribution

Stocked Bell items take around 10 working days. Special order items extend to around 20 days.

Much of the range is special order

A great deal of the Bell range is special order, the helmets especially, and those can run past 20 days. Contact us with the model, size and colour you want and we will get you the real date.

Before you order

Worth doing before you buy rather than after, because a helmet is the item most likely to be built rather than picked.
