Bell Helmets Australia has introduced its 2018 Race Star helmet, which has seen the new addition of a Bell-exclusive Flex liner along with an assortment of new graphics.

Since its introduction back in 1967, the Bell Star has long represented the standard in head protection. Revered as the first full-face helmet on the market, the Bell Star inspired an industry to pursue the science of head protection.

The obsession with helmet innovation continues today with Bell, as the new Star is more than an evolution of its predecessor. It’s a complete rethinking of what a race helmet should be, driven by the essential needs of the modern racer.

The Flex liner is a first-of-its kind, three-layer impact liner designed to manage energy from three potential impact scenarios – low, mid and high-speed.
