Bell Bullitt GT Charge Helmet

Bell Bullitt GT Charge Helmet

In the late 1960s, Bell released the Star - the industry's first full-face helmet. In the following century, Bell released the Bullitt - the industry's best blend of vintage style and modern helmet performance. Today, we welcome the Bullitt GT: A helmet that eclipses both the Star and original Bullitt, giving riders a helmet that blends the classic Bell aesthetics with even better real-world performance.  

Constructed with a fiber composite shell and multi-density EPS liner Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid, energy absorbing foam. In the helmet industry, EPS is the most common means of energy management to protect the brain. Generic EPS is often referred to as “Styrofoam” (a trademarked name owned by the Dow Chemical Company). Premium helmet producers utilize multi-density EPS liners to balance comfort, safety and performance. , the Bullitt GT meets modern DOT and ECE 22.06 ECE 22.06 is a helmet safety rating that extends and increases the testing requirements of ECE 22.05 (with 22.05 being a more modern, more comprehensive European alternative to DOT). With 22.06, 12 additional impact points are analyzed (now totaling 18) and impact speed is increased (from 7.5 to 8.2 m/s). Unlike DOT, every ECE helmet model must actually be tested by an independent lab before it receives 22.06 certification. safety requirements. At the same time, the shape and styling of the Bullitt GT mirror its predecessors, and three shell sizes keep the helmet's overall profile and mass very low. Luxurious appointments like a micro-suede lining with leather trim, metal mesh circular intake vents, a leather face shield pull and polished accents both compliment the vintage styling and "shoot" the Bullitt GT above the competition. Bullseye. 

Advancing the Bullitt GT from its forerunners, the GT now features a rubber gasket to better seal the face shield to the helmet, helping isolate the rider from weather, wind and road noise. The Bullitt GT boasts a revised hinge mechanism for the face shield, once again improving the seal with visor closed and now allowing for shield changes without tools. Also, the Bullitt GT's five forehead vents are closeable for the very first time - adjusted by an easy to reach thumb slider located at the edge of the Bullitt GT's chin bar.
