The all new Bell Race Star Flex weighed 3.35 lbs in a size Medium on our shipping scale.
We feel the Bell Race Star Helmet has an Intermediate Oval Shape, while offering a race fit with on / off effort similar to the Shoei X-12, Shoei X-14, AGV Corsa / Pista and Bell Race Star Helmets. Using Van as the benchmark he measures 58cm with an Intermediate Oval Head Shape which according to the Bell Size Chart puts him in a medium. In his opinion The size Medium Race Star Helmet delivers a true race fit that runs consistent with the Shoei X-14, Shoei X-12, AGV Corsa / Pista (medium small) and Bell Race / Pro Star Helmets in the same size (medium). Compared to the Arai Corsair X the Star has a tighter fit and requires more on / off effort, the difference in fit feels like almost 1/2 size. The HJC RPHA 11 Pro Helmet requires a little less on / off effort with a fit that feels just a touch looser than the Bell Race Star.
Van's opinion: The Bell Race Star Helmet does everything I want a high end lid to do and then some. Ventilation is excellent, tons of air flow while being the quietest in it's class. The Virus interior not only feels good against the skin but it works with the vent system to keep you cool. Field of vision is wide open and unobstructed in a tuck or when looking through a corner. End of the day the real magic is in the 3 piece Flex Liner used in place of standard EPS material that has the ability to manage low, mid and high speed impacts along with a little rotational. It also allows the fit to literally adapt to your specific head shape while wearing it increasing comfort. The Flex Liner is the feature that really sets this helmet apart from the competition IMO.
The Bell Race Star Helmet performs very well on both the track and the street. It has the technical features we look for on track and the comfort needed for a long ride on the street which allow this helmet to crossover seamlessly.

The Bell Race Star Helmet is essentially the same as the Bell Pro Star Helmet (Retail price $1199 - $1299) with the only significant difference being the 3K Carbon Shell in place of the Textreme Carbon Shell. This full face helmet incorporates a Flex Impact Liner, which is a progressive impact liner to manage impacts across the spectrum of crash intensities, and a Virus CoolJade Power Mesh Liner that not only effectively wicks away moisture but also keeps skin surface temperatures 10 degrees F cooler. The Bell Race Star Helmet boasts Snell M2015 and DOT certifications and also features Magnefusion Magnetic Cheek Pads, Panovision Shield with Class 1 Optics, race view orientation, an included zippered helmet bag, and eyewear compatibility with eyewear arm pockets incorporated into the construction of the interior liner. The new Race Star Flex features a 10% lighter weight than the original Race Star, an updated headform for additional comfort, speaker pockets, and all-new triple density cheek pads with added comfort lining
This Helmet ships with a Panovision ProTint Photochromatic (Transitions) shield! Activated by UV light, ProTint shields adapt to changing light conditions, providing enhanced vision during any ride. Offering exceptional clarity in low light conditions, ProTint shields quickly darken when exposed to bright sunlight. This adaptive technology helps your eyes adjust to the conditions, even when they are changing as quickly as the road ahead. ProTint Photochromic lenses provide enhanced contrast, helping your eyes to discern shapes and colors more quickly. The result is enhanced clarity and a reduction in eye strain through varying light conditions.
| Bell Race Star Helmet Core Technologies: | |
 | Flex Impact Liner (Patent pending) - A first-of-its kind, three-layer impact liner designed to manage energy from three potential impact scenarios: low, mid and high-speed. 3 unique materials at different densities: 1) Expanded Polyolefin (EPO) - soft and flexible low-density polymer for low-speed impacts 2) Expanded Polypropylene - for mid to high-speed impacts 3) Expanded Polystyrene - for mid to high-speed impacts. |
 | The Bell ProTint Shield (yes the one that self tints when exposed to the sun) is included with the purchase of this helmet at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE! |
 | Virus CoolJade Power Mesh Liner - Designed to withstand the rigors of hard use in extreme conditions, the Virus liner allows athletes to stay cool, keep comfortable and beat the funk. The most technically advanced liner on the market CoolJade fabric has been infused with recycled jade to create a natural cooling effect. It's Ultra-wicking construction combined with CoolJade infused yarn decreases skin surface temperatures up to 10 degrees F, keeping the wearer comfortable, dry, and cool. |
 | Magnefusion Magnetic Cheek Pads - Allows for easy removal of the pads for washing and enables emergency responders to easily remove the cheek pads first before removing the helmet following an impact. |
 | 3K Carbon Shell - the proven 3K carbon fiber gives the helmet the look, performance, and feel of a true race helmet. |
 | Reinvented Field of View - the Bell Race Star Helmet serves up a new viewport with better vertical field of view, better lateral field of view and enhanced head-check ability. |
