Built for the serious kart racer, the RS7-K is the
karting specific version of the RS7 with a non-fire retardant, extra durable interior. Featuring a lightweight carbon composite shell, the RS7-K is now updated to the latest
Snell K2025 karting standard.
The Snell K2025 rated RS7-K is the ultimate choice for a competition karting helmet. Based on the F1 derived RS7 platform, it has a superior aero profile and extra durable interior to handle the rigors of high-level racing.
The RS7-K features a front aero fascia, an ultra-lightweight carbon fiberglass composite shell, and a pro-style interior with neck padding for outstanding comfort. The direct flow chin bar vents on the front of the helmet help to increase airflow and prevent shield fogging.
The sleek, aerodynamic design features an advanced ventilation system with 14 intake and extraction channels that can be used with or without air intake covers. The RS7-K's double screen anti-fog (DSAF) visor and rubber gasket seal prevents water from entering the helmet in rain conditions.
Ventilation utilizes
14 air intake and extraction channels strategically placed around the shell, maximizing airflow around the head and the face. The RS7 has an optical grade
Double Screen Anti Fog (DSAF) shield, with variable thickness exceeding 5mm in the field of vision, setting a new standard for clarity and fog control. The shield seal has also been improved with the introduction of a rubber gasket ensuring that air and water especially in wet conditions can't penetrate the helmet through the eyeport.
New for this version of the RS7-K is the addition
Bell's SmartLock visor system. This mechanism ensures the shield is locked firmly in place during any collision while also allowing easy opening and closing via a depressible tab. This development improves safety and is being implemented across Bell's pro level helmet lineup.
The Bell RS7-K Helmet has a range of karting specific features- the helmet's chin guard face piece is removable and the integrated channels offer multiple options to install radio microphone systems. It also is available with optional aero accessories including spoilers & gurneys to prevent helmet lift at higher speeds.
The RS7-K is certified to the Snell K2025 standard which requires the helmet to be tested to the Snell SA2025 impact test criteria, but does not require the helmet to be fire retardant. This allows the interior to be of a
more durable material to allowing this helmet to be comfortable for years of racing.
