Created in collaboration with seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton, the Bell KC7-CMR Lewis Hamilton 2026 Kart Helmet showcases a striking yellow design with red detailing, closely inspired by Hamilton’s own Formula 1 race helmet. Working directly with Bell’s paint specialists, the graphics and signature elements have been carefully reproduced to deliver an authentic, race-inspired finish.

Designed specifically for karting, the KC7-CMR shares its core design with Bell’s premium Bell HP7 Carbon Helmet. It features a lightweight, hand-laid Carbon/Kevlar/Fibreglass composite shell, offering impressive strength while keeping weight to a minimum — ideal for younger drivers and those with developing neck strength.

This special edition model comes equipped with a 2mm multi-layer red clear visor, aerodynamic enhancements, and a premium Bell helmet bag — representing over £250 worth of included accessories.

Combining race-proven design with lightweight comfort and standout styling, the Bell KC7-CMR Lewis Hamilton 2026 Kart Helmet is the perfect choice for aspiring drivers and dedicated Hamilton fans alike.

Key Features:

  • Lewis Hamilton 2026 Signature Design – Officially inspired by Lewis Hamilton’s F1 helmet, complete with distinctive yellow and red graphics and signature detailing.

  • Snell-FIA CMR-2016 Approved – Certified to the CMR-2016 karting standard, specifically developed for junior drivers under 15.

  • Ultra-Lightweight Composite Shell – Hand-laminated Carbon/Kevlar/Fibreglass construction provides high strength with reduced weight, helping to minimise neck fatigue.

  • 2mm Multi-Layer Red Clear Visor – Double-screen, anti-fog visor delivers excellent visibility and performance in varying conditions.

  • Advanced Ventilation System – Fourteen air intake and extraction channels, including top and chin bar vents, promote consistent airflow to keep the driver cool.

  • Optimised Aerodynamics – Shell shape and visor positioning are engineered to improve airflow and reduce noise. Includes rear spoiler for enhanced stability.

  • Premium Accessories Included – Supplied with multi-layer visor, aerodynamic components, and a high-quality Bell helmet bag.

Weight (excluding accessories):

  • Sizes 52–56 cm: 1185 g (±3%)

  • Sizes 57–59 cm: 1230 g (±3%)

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.

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.

OMP and AraiBoth use the same ladders as their car helmets.▼

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.
