Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Safety is critical in kart racing, and selecting the right helmet plays a key role in protecting your performance and well-being. If you're investing in your racing future, here's everything you need to know about Bell Kart Racing Helmets.
General Helmet Questions
What is the best helmet for kart racing?The Bell KC7-CMR is widely considered one of the best karting helmets, offering a carbon shell, Snell K2020 certification, and premium features for serious kart racers.
Why do I need a racing helmet?Auto and kart racing helmets protect your head in high-speed accidents and shield against debris and, in some motorsports, fire. A helmet is the most important safety item you own.
How do I choose the right size kart racing helmet?Use a flexible tape to measure your head just above the eyebrows and ears. Compare the result to Bell’s sizing chart. For step-by-step help, read our helmet fitting guide at Competition Karting .
What safety standards should I look for in a kart racing helmet?Snell K2020 certification is the top safety standard for kart racing. It ensures rigorous impact protection. Avoid DOT-only helmets—they are not rated for motorsport use.
Can I use a motorcycle helmet for kart racing?No. Motorcycle helmets lack kart-specific certifications and may not offer the impact resistance and ventilation optimized for karting. Always choose a motorsport-rated helmet.
How often should I replace my kart racing helmet?Replace your helmet every 3–5 years depending on use. Replace it immediately if it has been dropped, damaged, or involved in an impact—even if no damage is visible.
Are expensive helmets safer than budget ones?Yes, in most cases. Premium helmets typically use lighter, stronger materials and offer better ventilation and comfort—all factors that reduce driver fatigue and improve safety.
Helmet Use, Fit & Maintenance
How do I maintain and clean my helmet?Use helmet-safe cleaners like the Molecule Care Kit. Do not submerge the helmet. Clean visors gently with microfiber cloths to avoid scratching.
Do I need to wear a balaclava under my helmet?A balaclava improves comfort, protects the liner, and wicks away sweat. Fire-rated balaclavas are recommended and often required in competitive environments.
Is the Snell K2020 rating important?Yes. It’s the most widely accepted kart helmet certification in national and international competition. Always check your series' rulebook for specific helmet requirements.
Can I wear glasses with my kart helmet?Yes. Bell helmets feature wide eye ports compatible with most prescription glasses and racing eyewear, allowing for a stable, fog-free fit.
Are carbon fiber helmets better?Carbon fiber helmets are lighter and stronger than traditional composite helmets. They reduce fatigue in long sessions while offering superior impact protection.
Can I use a used helmet for racing?No. Damage or aging may not be visible, and older helmets may no longer meet current safety standards. Always buy new from a trusted dealer like Competition Karting .
Performance Questions
How can I prevent helmet fogging?Use anti-fog visors like Bell’s DSAF system, or apply an anti-fog spray or insert. Keep vents open to maintain airflow inside the helmet during races.
Why is ventilation important?Ventilation keeps you cool, reduces moisture inside the helmet, and helps prevent fatigue during intense sessions. A properly ventilated helmet helps you perform at your best.
How do I store my helmet between races?Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded helmet bag—like the Competition Karting Evo Helmet Bag—to prevent damage during storage or transport.
Helmet Certification Questions
What is the difference between Snell K2020 and CMR2016 certifications?Snell K2020 is for adult helmets, offering top-tier impact protection. CMR2016 is required for drivers under 15, with a lighter shell to reduce neck fatigue in younger racers.
Are tear-off visors necessary?Yes. Tear-offs are a must-have for outdoor karting. They keep your visor clear by allowing you to quickly remove dirty outer layers while racing.
How do I know if my helmet is still safe to use?Inspect it regularly for cracks, fading, and loose components. Replace it after any significant impact or every 5 years regardless of use. Never compromise on safety.
Can I customize my helmet?Yes. Many brands—including Bell—offer customization options. However, never drill or alter the helmet shell, as it may void the warranty and compromise safety certifications.
Where can I buy a certified kart racing helmet?Buy from trusted experts like Competition Karting . Shop online or in-person at one of our retail locations across the USA. We carry all top brands including Arai, Bell, Stilo, and Schuberth—and support hundreds of race events nationwide.

The most effective helmet is one that fits properly. To measure your head, have an assistant use a dressmaker's tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head. Start at a point about an inch above your eyebrows, looping around the back of your head at the point that results in the largest measurement, and finally around to the front again. It's a good idea to take two or three measurements to make sure you have the largest one.
