HP5
Bell HP helmets have been developed to meet or exceed the FIA8860 Advanced Helmet Standard.
This standard was developed by the FIA to improve overall helmet performance and safety and is known as the most severe racing helmet standard. Since 2004, when Bell introduced the first FIA8860 helmet in the world, the HP helmets have been constantly improved. The current models are a direct result of intense Research & Development and close collaboration with teams & drivers.
For maximum safety, the Bell HP helmets feature a pure carbon shell using autoclave technology, combined with a specific expanded polystyrene energy absorbing liner. Test show that in certain impacts, the Bell HP helmets absorb up to 40 per cent more energy!
To date, Bell is the only manufacturer able to offer readily available FIA-8860 helmets at a realistic price.
Depending of the fit pad size and the mounted accessories such as spoilers, flaps or air intake, the Bell HP helmets weight only 1290 grams (+/- 5%) in size 59, making them the lightest and the safest helmets actually available in the world for automobile racing.The Bell HP5, using the same state-of-the-art technology as the HP3, features a larger aperture, making this helmet more appropriate for closed cars.
