Bell XD7 ULTRA Helmet – FIA 8859-2024 / SA2025 Motorsport Racing Helmet

The Bell XD7 ULTRA Helmet is a high-performance full-face motorsport helmet designed for dirt-track, open-wheel, circuit, and drag racing environments, delivering advanced protection, ventilation control and aerodynamic stability for modern competition use.

As the successor to the iconic GTX3, the XD7 ULTRA continues Bell’s legacy of dust-sealing performance, airflow management and high-speed stability, while introducing a redesigned shell, improved fit system and enhanced usability for today’s motorsport demands.

Built using Bell’s ULTRA-CARBON composite shell, the XD7 ULTRA combines exceptional strength with ultra-lightweight construction, helping reduce driver fatigue while maintaining elite-level impact protection.

Certified to FIA 8859-2024 and Snell SA2025, the XD7 ULTRA is engineered for high-performance racing across multiple disciplines.

Safety & Construction

The XD7 ULTRA is designed for demanding motorsport environments where protection and durability are essential.

Key construction features include:
