Bell Pro Star Helmet

Bell Helmets Press Release:

Bell Helmets, an industry leader in helmet technology and innovation, today introduced the all-new Pro Star, a complete rethinking of what a race helmet should be, driven by the essential needs of the modern racer. Field-tested by Bell’s world-class riders, the sophisticated materials integrated into the Pro Star allow the rider to become one with the helmet.

Don’t think, just ride. As the race wears on and fatigue sets in, hot spots and helmet shifting begin to nag and detract a rider’s attention from the track. That’s no longer a problem with Bell’s latest technologies in the Pro Star. A VIRUS® CoolJade™ power mesh liner reduces skin surface temperatures up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s designed to withstand the rigors of hard use in extreme conditions and allows riders to stay cool and keep comfortable. Plus, a new Panovision™ Viewport offers additional vertical and lateral visibility allowing riders to see better in a tight or tucked position.

Along with enhanced comfort, the Pro Star has vastly improved its protection system. The Pro Star pulls from its top-of-the-line dirt counterpart, Moto-9 Flex. Bell’s Flex Impact Liner features exclusive “progressive layering” technology – a system of three unique protective materials – is designed to address low-, mid-, high-speed and rotational impact velocities to deliver Bell’s most comprehensive level of protection. But the outside matters, too.

The carbon shell is reinforced by TeXtreme®, an ultra-thin carbon fiber weave, 20 percent lighter than conventional carbon fiber, making it one of Bell’s lightest and strongest shells ever. Lastly, the Magnefusion magnetic cheek pad system is designed for easy removal of pads for washing and enables emergency responders to easily pull out the pads before taking the helmet off an injured rider, reducing the chance of neck injury.

“Our engineers not only addressed core needs, but developed a helmet that redefines performance, safety standards and offers truly game-changing innovations,” said Chris Sackett, Bell Helmets Vice President. “We’re offering six EPS liners along with five shell sizes for a more proportional fit and improved performance. Further, there will be three helmets within the Star Series – Pro Star, Race Star, Star – to match your riding style.”

Countless hours of testing went into the development of the helmet from state-of-the-art wind tunnels for optimized aerodynamics to road testing. Bell tapped into several of its top road ambassadors for their input including Cameron Beaubier, Jake Gagne, Josh Herrin, William Dunlop and Gary Johnson.

The Pro Star is the top tier helmet within the 2016 Star Series lineup.
