Top of Page Bell Helmet Sizing GuideNOTE: These sizing charts are provided by the manufacturer and/or distributor responsible for this brand. Atlantic Moto makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy of measurements and/or fit provided on this page.
Correctly fitting and sizing a helmet is an extremely important process. There are many factors that go into getting the right helmet size, no matter what you've "always worn". Factors like head shape, cheek thickness, crown padding, and so on go far beyond a simple size measurement. The right helmet will not only be quieter and not move around on your head, it will do a much better job of protection.
Bell Helmet Sizes (including Star Moto 8 Mag helmets etc )
Measuring the head is a starting point for the entire sizing procedure. Due to varying shapes, heads that are apparently the same size when measured by a tape may not necessarily fit the same size helmet. A small metal tape measure, or a cloth tape may be used to make your initial measurement. The circumference of the head should be measured at a point approximately one inch above the eyebrows in front, and at a point in the back of the head that results in the largest possible measurement. Take several measurements, to make sure you have the largest one. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A ROUGH GUIDE AND NOT EXACT. THE SHAPE OF YOUR HEAD IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE MEASUREMENT WHICH MAY AFFECT FINAL FIT!

Bell - Company HistoryBELL was founded in 1954 in California by Roy Richter, a passionate of auto racing. Roy perceived the need for safety in the auto racing field and moved to put products in place to serve that need. The name BELL simply comes for the fact that Roy's activities were housed in a small, garage-like facility in Bell, California. The following year, BELL moved to a larger facility and a full time staff was employed. BELL started by manufacturing protective headgear for auto racing. BELL moved to the leading edge of helmetry in 1957, introducing the use of a non-resilient polystyrene liner. That same year, BELL also began to supply helmets to law enforcement agencies.
One of the first open face BELL helmet, the 500-TX is selected by the Museum of Modern Art in New York for Excellence of Design. Four Bell helmet models are on continuous display at MoMA Consumers began recognizing the need for safety and the business grew rapidly. By 1964 BELL had to triple its capacity and moved to a new facility in Long Beach, California.
In 1968 BELL introduced the first full-face helmet, the Star. It was worn by Dan Gurney at the 500 Miles of Indianapolis.
These products innovations, like expanded polystyrene liners (EPS) or full face helmets, generated a reputation throughout the world for providing state of the art quality helmets.
In 1971 BELL diversified into the motorcycle helmet market and developed the first full-face motorcycle helmet and the first full-face off-road motorcycle helmet. During the next ten years, BELL continued its efforts in automotive and motorcycle field but also entered the bicycle industry with the first hard shell helmet, the Biker in 1975. In addition, it began providing helmets for marine racing, parachute jumping, and many other high risk activities where head protection was needed.
The explosive growth of motorcycle use in the 70's required tripling capacity once again. Bell, in 1976 moved into a 180.000 square feet facility in Norwalk, California. This factory was, at the time, the world's largest helmet factory with the most up-to-date equipment, including one of the most sophisticated test labs.
By 1985, the BELL family of companies included BELL RACESTAR (manufacturing auto racing suits and drivers equipment as distributing the auto racing helmets), Vetter Products (manufacturers of fairings, helmets, leather clothing...), Marsee Products (fine leather motorcycling apparel and accessories) and Bagman (luggage for motorcycling).
It was at this time that BELL entered into its first licensing and distribution agreement with a French company for the manufacturing, sales and marketing of BELL motorcycle products in France. The ultimate goal was to expand throughout Europe. In 1986 BELL relocated its manufacturing facility to Rantoul, Illinois and closed down its manufacturing operation in California completely. A small office was maintained in the old Norwalk, California facility which housed BELL's Research & Development, and Corporate Affairs departments as well as part of the Sales and Marketing staffs.
Since 1986, car racing helmets as well as bicycle helmets have been made in centrally located Rantoul, Illinois, USA. Some bicycle helmets are also manufactured in Euro-Bell's plant in France and in China. Over 20.000 car racing helmets and more than 4 million bicycle helmets are manufactured each year, making BELL the largest manufacturer in the world for both car racing helmets and bicycle helmets.

Top of Page Bell Helmet TechnologyHow Should my Helmet Fit ?
A helmet should be tight but not uncomfortable. You should feel contact all the way around your head and the pressure should be evenly distributed. Keep in mind the padding will break-in a little. We highly recommend consulting an authorized Bell dealer to assist you with determining proper helmet fit. How do I measure my head for my Bell Helmet ?
Use a flexible tape measure approximately one inch above the eyebrows in front and at a point in the back of the head that results in the largest possible measurement. How are Helmets Rated?|
Bell certifies helmets to both the Snell and SFI standards. In both cases, auto-racing helmets are rated as either M, SA or K. M stands for Motorcycle or motorized vehicles. M rated helmets are used for motorized highway vehicles and for racing that does not require a fire retardant rating. M rated helmets require a larger eyeport for a wider range of vision. SA stands for Special Application. SA rated helmets are used in competitive automobile racing and require a fire retardant rating. SA helmets are also subjected to additional testing including a test that simulates a roll bar impact. K rated helmets are used for Karting applications. They are subjected to the same test standards as SA helmets except the do not require a fire retardant interior. Please consult your sanctioning organization for specific helmet requirements. The current Snell rating is 2005. What is the proper way to clean a face shield?
Please do not use paper towels or thinners of any nature. A mild soapy detergent (preferably sprayed on) and a soft rag will be enough to clean the shield. On our chrome shields the rag must be extremely soft and no harsh rubbing action should be used (pat it dry). If a visor strip is applied to a chrome shield it cannot be removed without damaging the coating. Use extreme care and absolutely no solvents. Top of Page
