The Norris 2026 edition reproduces the fluro yellow and black from Lando Norris’s McLaren race helmet design. Part 131121 was developed in collaboration with Norris and targets junior karters who follow his Formula One career: the design is exact rather than approximate, which is the point of a driver collaboration helmet.
The CMR2016 under-15 homologation, hand-laminated composite shell, HP7 aerodynamic profile, DSAF visor and 14-channel ventilation are identical across the KC7-CMR range. Sizes run 54 to 59cm. HANS posts cannot be fitted under CMR2016 rules.
For the Hamilton 2026 livery in yellow and red, see 131122. For the Hamilton 2022 design in purple and fluro yellow, see BEL131108. For Fernando Alonso’s livery, see BEL131109. Drivers wanting to choose their own colour should look at the Champion Sport, BEL13111.
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.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Three CMR Kart Helmets, One Approval: What Does The Extra Money Buy?. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
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.
