Bell Race Star Helmet Review
www.revzilla.co...
For years the Bell Star title has signified the best in the brand’s track-day offerings. With the introduction of the Bell Race Star Helmet and it’s totally redesigned brethren, the entire Star lineup can be seen through a new, refined, and drastically improved lens. What the Bell Race Star offers is a premium racetrack helmet that is step above anything that Bell has produced before. The 3k Carbon Fiber outer shell allows for an astonishingly light 3lb 3oz weight (size Medium) while retaining the protective capabilities that pass both DOT and Snell 2015 safety standards. Additionally, the Race Star features a new internal orientation for better vision on the track, as well as an expanded Panavision shield that has been strategically designed to allow for improved vision behind riders during a head-check. Quieter, lighter, and more aggressive than ever, the Bell Race Star Helmet is here to usher in a new era in helmets.

I received mine yesterday and i don't want to take off. Love it.

[@amyk9813]

How is the noise?

[@firebladefever4421]

@@amyk9813 not bad. I've added a sena bluetooth to it. I like it.

[@hawkrider88]

Hmm, Race Star is 3' 13 oz. Seems a little heavy compared to competitors?

[@timothy9596]

Just got one today and immediately took it out for a pretty long ride. Not to sound cliche but this helmet is amazing. Thanks Bell and Revzilla for the great review :)

[@AfroRider]

I Fully Test my Helmets on i95...

[@srhintz]

I really like that Orange and black Race Star but I don't guess that would serve me too well on my Fat Bob. My old RS1 is due for replacement. I remember when they made Bell helmets in Rantoul, Illinois. Friends could get blems super cheap.

[@MegaChevy65]

Was researching on some shoei helmets and some hjc helmets but i looked at the sharp crash testing and this got 5 Stars and the others got 3 for some weaker side impacts. Snell approved and 5 star sharp rated. Best bang for the buck imo.

[@taylorfanklin5286]

I really like the technology and design of this helmet. My father uses the Bell Star Pro and absolutely loves it. He rides a ZX-14, though. However, I just bought a 2018 MT09. I won't be chin on the tank much of the time. I want this helmet for an upright riding position. What do you recommend?

[@RevZilla]

Even for the MT09, this is a really good option, so definitely consider it! -DrewZilla

[@TerryFrenchy]

@@RevZilla 2017 FJ-09: great helmet for that bike, I can confirm. Coming from Shoei GT-Air, I wish it had cutouts for speakers, default visor with pinlock (I got the photochromic one), and a better neck "roll". It feels flimsy there vs. Shoei that was tighter and more air-tight even after years of use

[@loki32687]

Looking into this helmet, only drawback is no speaker cut outs for a Sena like damn near every other manufacturer has.

[@ssdasgooch]

Great review! I am debating between the star and the race star helmets but I didn't see it mentioned on the race star if you can use a comm system or if you can fit sunglasses.

[@RevZilla]

+ssdasgooch Yes, you can fit a communicator on all three of the Stars, and while there aren't specific deep glasses cut-outs, I was able to wear my glasses/sunglasses comfortably with them. -DrewZilla

[@josesierra5622]

Just to be clear - the Race Star *does* have legitimate cutouts for speakers in the ear-zone? I'd read that the regular Star has very shallow indentations at best and that installing comms is a challenge, especially considering the 'snug' fit of the Race and Pro Stars.

[@naijones67]

Edit Note: OK, so I posted this comment before seeing the Bell "regular" Star review. My questions are answered over at that specific review, so if you have the same questions head over to the Bell Star review. LoL! Thank you so much for the "detailed breakdown", that was indeed, detailed! It is most appreciated, since I'm well invested into Bell helmets as a customer. I've been waiting for this information and "launch" for a while. I'm a little bummed that the RS1 is discontinued because it was a bit more affordable. Now to stay with Bell I'll have to spend a little more for a regular Star and buy a new Transitions shield, which undoubtedly went up in cost also? Since there are some benefits to the new "regular" Star over the RS1, can you state those gains that justify the increase in customer cost as compared to the RS1 line? The video talked a lot about the "Race Star" and "ProStar". Are you able to quantify the weight savings and noise reduction? I understand the shield now has a more positive gasket seal, which may well reduce the noise level, as I did find the RS1 to be a bit noisy. One last question. Can you ask RSD to continue with the "Flash" series graphic, as it was completely awesome! Thank You from Sunny Santa Cruz, Ian

[@ShockTech326]

I'm looking to buy a helmet for track days (and potentially CCS racing). I'm stuck deciding between the Race Star, Corsair X, X-Fourteen, and Corsa. Any recommendations or favorites? I use an RX-Q for the street and it fits my head perfectly. The Shoei RF1200 didn't fit me as well.

[@adityabhasin2530]

I am thinking about purchasing this, but I hear it can be tight. I wear a Medium Bell Qualifier right now, sho should I stick to getting a Medium or go Large for the Race star?? Also Do you have pictures with the helmet with the different colored face shields? I want to get a different one than the clear but I see no pictures on the website other than the clear visor

[@RevZilla]

It's a little snug, but you can probably wear size medium in the Race Star. As for visors, we do not have any photos showing the different visors on the helmet unfortunately. I apologize for any inconvenience. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bell-panovision-face-shield

[@aveross]

Hello - would you please advise what's the custom fit program you have mentioned around 4:40? I got the small it was too tight the medium was ok ... it became better with the thicker cheek pads but I still feel that it could be slightly tighter on the crown. It moves slightly when I'm shoulder checking at high speed and it is quite noisy even with earplugs ... greatly appreciate your help as usual. Thx

[@RevZilla]

Bell has a Custom Fit Program, where they scan your head, then make a helmet with an EPS that's custom-shaped to your head. It isn't for adapting a helmet you've already bought. You can find out more via the link below. -DrewZilla *www.bellhelmets.com/bell-custom-fit

[@afm12]

Actually this one is _not_ available in the custom fit program according to the answer from the Bell Helmets support.

[@Dan-bt2ng]

Please start shipping to Australia, I was about to purchase Race Star

[@RevZilla]

We do ship to Australia, however certain brands restrict us from shipping outside of the US. Bell is one of those brands. Since Bell has retailers in Australia that will actually have the appropriate certification stickers for your country on them. Our Bell helmets will only have US - DOT stickers on them, not those required in your area.

[@sergeantsodom6969]

Just picked one up for £269 new- craicing deal

[@toxicnerveYT]

Hi Revzilla, Does the Race Star have space to take a comm unit like a Cardo? I have a PackTalk that I would want to use. Any help appreciated.

[@RevZilla]

You can mount a communicator, but there aren't any pockets or recesses for speakers. The cheek pads come very close to the ears, so having speakers would be uncomfortable for most people. I'd recommend the Shoei X-14 or Arai Corsair X instead. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/shoei-x-14-helmets *www.revzilla.com/arai-corsair-x-helmets

[@toxicnerveYT]

Very strange, I spoke to our local distributor (in the UK) and they said there are recesses! Very confusing. Either way, I caved and ordered the "Speed Check Matte" version, the one with the Ace Cafe London logo on it! Waiting on a few other bits to come in before I go pick it up! Thank you for the help. And keep up the good work, I really love the videos so cheers to all the Revzilla team!!

[@melhafy]

Your videos are awesome and very informative which is great for new riders such as myself. However do you have any videos on sunglasses for riding? I could use some because the sun is really bright during the day!!!

[@RevZilla]

+melhafy We don't yet have any specific videos on sunglasses for riding. We tend to recommend full-face helmets, so in addition to wearing sunglasses, most helmet manufacturers offer tinted face shields. Other helmets even have built-in drop-down internal sun visors. If you are interested in sunglasses, though, look at Bobster. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle-helmets-internal-sun-visor *www.revzilla.com/bobster-eyewear

[@Xmasochist]

I have a Corsair X as my track day go-to, but man I'd love to add the RSD version of this to my rotation.

[@alex43ko]

I can't decide between this, the AGV Corsa, or X-14

[@RevZilla]

+alex43ko The X-14 is probably the best value, while the Bell Race Star is the lightest and has the most innovative safety techonology with its 3-layer Flex system. -DrewZilla

[@aveross]

Hi Anthony and team. As usual awesome informative review. Two questions: my head size is 56-57 and I tried the Shoei RF 1200 M and it fits well do you think I should get and MD or SM of the race star. Also I read somewhere that you cannot fit a blue tooth communicator on this bad boy is it true?

[@RevZilla]

The Race Star has a snug fit, so you might be closer to the medium (MD). As for speakers, you are correct. As of right now, the new Stars don't have enough room for most communicator speakers, though I do know they're working on that. We hope that they're able to make some more room for speakers by the time the helmets come into stock in August. -DrewZilla

[@aveross]

+RevZilla thanks for the answer ... I have to give a shout out to your reaction time to all consumer questions really top notch guys! I will be in touch with you when the helm is out.

[@RevZilla]

Thanks! -DrewZilla

[@wilddoktor]

I'm very curious about this: It's August, the helmet is here; so did they make any accommodations for speakers? Thanks!

[@aveross]

+wilddoktor well apparently they didn't ... But some people said you can fit a very slim pair of senas ... Mine is being shipped now ... Safety and looks trumped the headset feature for me

[@duanequan42]

You say that all the Stars can fit communications unit, but how come some of the answers on the Revzilla page for the Race Star (The one I'm trying to get) says that a communications system won't fit? =(

[@RevZilla]

You can fit a communicator, but there aren't specific recessed speaker pockets, so the speakers may sit too close to your ears depending on your own anatomy. -DrewZilla

[@iSyre]

Do the magnet pads interfere with earbuds or wireless speakers? o.O Been debating if I want to get the RSD Chief or the nexx x2r. Wonder how the two compare in noise and comfort again.

[@RevZilla]

+iSyre No, the magnetic cheek pad connectors do not interfere with earbuds or speakers. As for noise, we find the new Star series to be a bit quieter than the Nexx XR2. -DrewZilla

[@iSyre]

+RevZilla alright cool. Thanks. Are there slots for speakers or room for larger earbuds like jaybirds?

[@RevZilla]

+iSyre Yes, there is space for speakers. As for earbuds, Jaybirds stick out way too far from the ear. You'd have a hard time getting the helmet on with those earbuds in. You would need earbuds that are flush with the ears. -DrewZilla

[@iSyre]

+RevZilla yeah true. Thanks. I'll have to look around or try those wireless speakers I keep seeing. Unless there isn't a sleeve. Will tape them in and hope I can charge them lol

[@chibinyra]

I really like that Flex technology, but I ride an ST1300 and a Zero SR... not exactly a tuck. I also want to install my Cardo PackTalk or Sena... am I out of luck with this helmet? It sucks to want and be ready to pay for premium protection but not wanting to spend time on the track...

[@RevZilla]

It still works fine in a more upright position, but it really isn't good for communicators. You can still fit speakers in, but there's a good chance they'll be too close to your ears for comfort. -DrewZilla

[@chibinyra]

RevZilla Thank you DrewZilla. Are there any other helmets with this Flex Tech that would suit my needs? I only see the Moto9 Flex. Cheers.

[@RevZilla]

No, unfortunately those are the only helmets with the Flex Tech. You might consider a helmet with MIPS, which helps with rotational impacts. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bell-qualifier-dlx-mips-helmet *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bell-qualifier-dlx-mips-accelerator-helmet

[@wrangler10]

I like this helmet very much ,is that suitable for the riding position of the multi 1200?I tend to super sport helmets because they have the most security functions and standards from anything else(and I like the aggressive design also :),I will test both star and race star for sure.I wear an Arai rx7 corsair for 10 years everyday use with no problem ,is that helmet similar to rx7?(referring to driving position)

[@RevZilla]

If you like the RX-7 Corsair, then you'd be fine with the Race Star, so go for it! -DrewZilla

[@Skitzoshank]

Hey revzilla, I'm looking at this helmet along with the Agv corsa r and Arai corsair x along with the x14. I've only seen that the bell race star visor doesn't stay secured down.

[@mosesotb6866]

Price being no issue. What helmet do you recommend for street use and I only care about protection. Weight, vents, etc all that does not matter to me.

[@RevZilla]

This Bell Race Star is probably the best option, as its Flex Liner system provides the best protection at low, middle, and high speeds. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/bell-race-star-helmets

[@mosesotb6866]

I have heard many complaints about that helmet. I'm surprised you picked it. I will check it out more but it seems to be in the range of the agv corsa. Which is the helmet i was initially considering. You think it beats that too?

[@RevZilla]

The AGV Corsa is also good, but the Corsa does not have the same low-speed and rotational protection of the Bell Flex Liner System. -DrewZilla

[@carlosdeleon9593]

Would this helmet be alright for commuting in an FZ07? I like safety and dont want to be a vegetable if I ever crash. Im sure the Flex technology can help prevent that better than most other helmets in the market.

[@RevZilla]

Yes, you could use this for commuting on an FZ-07. -DrewZilla

[@megazzeth]

Do the new helmets have the option to get a transition visor??

[@RevZilla]

Currently, no, there is no Transitions visor available. -DrewZilla

[@chucklantz8290]

In the video the stripes on the Race Star appear to be orange, but Bell only sells it in red. Is the color in the video "off" a bit, showing red as orange? (my screen is color calibrated, so the difference is not on my end)

[@RevZilla]

Yes, the color is a bit off. It's actually red in person. -DrewZilla

[@medveds1]

Hey Anthony, which would be the better track day helmet for full tuck position/ visibility, the Bell Race Star or Shark Race R Pro? Cheers Steve.

[@RevZilla]

Both are optimized for the full tuck, and both have excellent visibility. It really comes down to whether you want the lighter Shark or the Snell-rated Bell. -DrewZilla

[@medveds1]

RevZilla ...and if I were to throw in the Shoei X 14 and AGV Corsa R in the mix?

[@RevZilla]

The Shoei is Snell-rated like the Bell but also a bit lighter. The Corsa R is about the same weight as the Shoei but is designed to the ECE safety rating. All four helmets are good track-level helmets. -DrewZilla

[@medveds1]

RevZilla thanks heaps for your input, really appreciate it.

[@jackwednesday]

Does it have some kind of a pin lock system? Not interested in a £600 helmet misting up.

[@RevZilla]

A Pinlock visor and insert are available separately. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bell-panovision-pinlock-ready-face-shield (includes Pinlock lens insert)

[@michaelfrymus]

So, i cannot wear this on the street? I love the race look. But, id be using it more for commuting/touring

[@RevZilla]

You can wear it on the street, but just understand that the Race Star's eye port is rotated a bit upwards for better vision in a full tuck riding position. You still get the benefit of the Flex liner, though, so it would likely be ok for you on the street. -DrewZilla

[@karlm.1312]

Is the sizing consistent with the previous Star or is similar to Shoei X-14?

[@RevZilla]

+Karl M. Due to the new Flex technology, it actually has an adaptive fit. It does fit similarly to the narrow oval previous Star but can also fit intermediate oval headshapes. The X-14 fits me well, but I couldn't wear the previous Star (it was too narrow at the crown). However, I can wear the new Race Star just fine. -DrewZilla

[@michaelfrymus]

I cant attach a gopro with Sugru to the bottom of the chin can I? That ventilation flap seems like it might be in the way. Other helmets ive seen have the visor lock on the side, which wouldnt interfere with the gopro being mounted on the front. blog.kevhuang.com/content/images/2015/03/IMG_20150311_180222.jpg

[@RevZilla]

We recommend using a GoPro Side Mount mounted offset from center. The Side Mount allows you to affix the base to either side of the chin vent while still having the GoPro centered in front of the chin vent. That way, you aren't trying to put the mount on the chin vent itself. That's what we do for our bike reviews. See our XSR900 Review for an example. -DrewZilla *kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnfQaZavrdyBbrc

[@michaelfrymus]

That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid. Its too big, bulky, and adds too much weight becoming off-balanced. Other helmets dont have the lock at the front, which makes it easy to attach.

[@riotcontrol12]

So I currently have the race star and noticed that it says eyewear compatible but I have yet to see how this is compatible? maybe I'm missing something cause my eyewear just hover above my nose and I cannot get them to fit any better.

[@RevZilla]

Though the cheek pads are designed to allow glasses frames to more easily fit at the temples, it's still not a guarantee that all glasses frames will fit. It also comes down to face shape and the shape of the specific glasses. -DrewZilla

[@riotcontrol12]

I guess it is time to go eyeglass shopping for my motorcycle glasses :)

[@TerryFrenchy]

@@riotcontrol12 True. I bring my helmet when shopping for glasses. The race star is not very good for glasses, but thin one still fit ok. Shoei GT-Air (V1, my older helmet) was much better to let the glasses slide in.

[@Navy1348]

Any word on release date? I'm trying to wait for it but the X-14 is starting to look awfully enticing the longer the wait becomes

[@RevZilla]

+Mr.Marty McFly Bell is saying early-August for the Race Star, but as you said, the X-14 is available right now. -DrewZilla

[@josephfriedrich9792]

What's the difference between these race and pro stars and the 2019s? Other than the included shield?

[@RevZilla]

The new version is about 5 ounces lighter, due to a new carbon fiber layering process. The cheek pads also have more comfortable foam, and there are now speaker pockets for communicators. -DrewZilla

[@josephfriedrich9792]

@@RevZilla right on right on.

[@josephfriedrich9792]

@@RevZilla are the pads interchangeable with the other helmet though? I had an original Star carbon that was so graciously stolen off my bike down in Virginia Beach so I'm just trying to figure out how to get safely back on the road cause I'd would get last year's mod. To save some coin, as indont ride with a com system

[@RevZilla]

The Pro Star and Race Star use magnetic cheek pads, whereas the Standard Bell Star uses cheek pads with plastic snaps. So you would keep that in mind when purchasing replacement cheek pads. Head liners are only interchangeable depending on the year of manufacture (2016+ is different than 2012-2015). -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bell-pro-star-race-star-cheek-pads *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bell-pro-star-race-star-helmet-liner *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bell-star-2016-cheek-pads *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bell-star-2016-helmet-liner

Which would you say is more appropriate for commuting / touring - the Race Star, or the Moto-9 flex with/without beak? Say 75-80 mph average touring speed Thanks

[@RevZilla]

Definitely the Race Star. I would not use the Moto-9 Flex for commuting at highway speeds. -DrewZilla

[@postflight482]

Would this work with a Ducati Cafe Racer riding position or would an RF1200, etc be more appropriate?

[@jamest4162]

How heavy are the three different helmets in the new Star lineup?

[@RevZilla]

+James T We haven't been able to weigh full production models yet, but the production samples we had for video were 3lb. 7oz. (Street Star), 3lb. 3oz. (Race Star), and 3lb. 1oz. (Pro Star), all in size medium. Hope this helps! -DrewZilla

[@pedronogueira8148]

What helmet is smaller (for a given size - mine's 58cm): this or the Shoei X-14? They both look massive and I'm not a fan of the bobblehead look...

[@RevZilla]

The Shoei is slightly smaller in size medium (57-58). -DrewZilla

[@pedronogueira8148]

Thanks. They both look massive, but on paper they're the absolute best in terms of protection, so I'm a bit torn...

[@tekniqs]

Now Anthony...this lid or the x14? go!

[@RevZilla]

+tekniqs The Race Star and X-14 are more closely aligned than the Pro Star, so it's a closer comparison. The fit and finish of the X-14 is very high in typical Shoei fashion, but the Race Star's Flex liner may be better than the Shoei for slow- and mid-speed impacts. The initial quality of the Bell is also high, so it really is too close to call. -DrewZilla

Will the US version also meet ECE 22.05? (On top of it's Snell and DOT certifications)

[@AfroRider]

+Grant85kg its either ECE or SNELL, never both

[@HoosierBearcat25]

There was talk of this new Bell passing both with it's flex technology. www.revzilla.com/common-tread/new-bell-star-series-is-a-game-changer

[@AfroRider]

+Grant85kg All helmets that pass Snell will most likely also pass ECE since Snell is more rigorous. only reason some manufacturers only do ECE is that it is a cheaper fee also it allows them to make lighter helmets. The extra requirements of Snell pushes the helmets to be a little heavier than ECE helmets and also a little safer. but ECE is mostly as safe as Snell. Why pay twice the fees of Snell and ECE when either will get you through any track or racing organization. hope I helped you

[@HoosierBearcat25]

I appreciate the response, but IMHO Snell M2015 isn't necessarily "better" than ECE 22.05. Helmets that pass Snell M2015 may not pass ECE 22.05, and helmets that pass ECE 22.5 may not pass Snell M2015. The hype surrounding this new Bell Star was that it could potentially settle the argument once and for all by meeting all safety standards. Wes Siler wrote an excellent piece on the helmet industry and it's rating systems, if you haven't read it you should check it out... indefinitelywild.gizmodo.com/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-motorcycle-sa-1596858706

[@AfroRider]

+Grant85kg It can be true or just a rumor, but at the end of the day I don't think they will pay both organizations for the same thing basically. it would just increase the prices of already expensive lids. in my opinion Bell should have at least made those helmets in America instead of China, because it would definitely be a selling point. No high end helmet at that price range is made in China.

It's for sure a good helmet, but it may be overkill for your purposes. This is one of their track models. I'd recommend the standard Bell Star if you like this style. -TeamZilla Chris *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bell-star-solid-helmet

[@ericsolis8571]

when will they be available

[@RevZilla]

+eric solis All Bell has said is that they'll be available "this summer". Beyond that, we don't have a more specific date yet. -DrewZilla

[@K_Vang23]

+eric solis Per Bell on their FB, Race Star and Race Pro will be releasing in August but the Star will be this Spring.

RevZilla ok, between this bell, arai rx7v, shoei xspirit 3, shark race r pro ?

[@RevZilla]

All are really good helmets honestly, so it really depends which fits you best. I recommend you find somewhere to try them on if possible. -DrewZilla

[@tombogaert1015]

do they fog up fast?

[@RevZilla]

No, the shield has an anti-fog coating, and the ventilation is good enough to pull moisture away well. -DrewZilla

[@tombogaert1015]

Ok thnx! :)

[@slevinshafel9395]

[@RevZilla]

It's about 4 lbs. in size large. It's a bit lighter in smaller sizes. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/bell-race-star-helmets

I can't find transition shields on your website for this helmet

[@RevZilla]

It's not yet available, though we expect them to be available in the next couple months. -DrewZilla

[@sleepzou]

Race star or shoei x14. I only ride on the streets.

[@sleepzou]

It was a question wich one is the better one for street riding?

[@RevZilla]

The Shoei is better for street riding. -DrewZilla
