Bell Collectibles: A Legacy in Every Detail
At Bell Racing Helmets, we believe in bringing the spirit and legacy of motorsport into the hands of every fan and collector. However, these are not just any collectibles; they are authentic pieces of racing history, crafted with the same precision, passion, and expertise that define the full-scale racing helmets worn by the world’s top drivers.
Our collectibles are made in the same factory, by the same craftsmen, using almost identical as our full-sized racing helmets. Each piece shares the same assembly line where helmets for legends like Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, and Charles Leclerc are born, ensuring that every collectible carries the DNA of a true racing helmet.
This is not just about making a model or replica—it’s about preserving the artistry, design, and heritage that go into every helmet we create. Whether it is a 1:2 mini replica or a full-size helmet designed to mirror those worn on track, every piece embodies the same meticulous craftsmanship that makes Bell Racing Helmets the leader in motorsport excellence, safety, and innovation.
Bell Collectibles extends this legacy, offering fans an accessible and tangible way to own a piece of that same racing heritage. Whether it is a tribute to a historic race, a replica of a champion’s helmet, or a celebration of today’s most iconic designs, each collectible is a handcrafted masterpiece—an authentic symbol of the sport we love.
At Bell Collectibles, we do not just create collectibles; we create connections to the passion, history, and excitement of racing. It is more than a replica—it is a legacy in every detail.

BRAND STORY
Bell began as a small auto parts store in a suburb of Los Angeles, Bell California. Growing under the leadership of Roy Richter, Bell became a leader in safety equipment for auto racing, motorcycling and bicycling. His commitment to creating great products through a close connection with the sport, along with his trust and care for the people who worked for him, turned Bell from a one-man entrepreneurial operation to the premier safety helmet company in the world.
Roy Richter’s product development philosophy was based on working with the best drivers to develop purpose-built products proven in the most demanding racing environments including the Bonneville Salt Flats and the Indianapolis Motors Speedway.
IT TAKES A LOT TO FINISH FIRST
As a racer, car builder and inventor, Richter understood winning requires an amazing combination of cutting-edge technology, seamless teamwork, proven skill, dedication and unwavering nerve. It also takes a good deal of precaution. As a company of first, Bell has never stopped the pursuit of serious head protection through innovation and a focus on the future. Bell was the first company to be Snell certified, introduce an energy absorbing liner system, build a full-face helmet, fire retardant helmet, aerodynamic helmet, anti-fog shield and homologate an FIA 8860 “super helmet”. That same forward thinking defines everything we do and is exhibited in every high-performance racing helmet we build. Delivering the ultimate in protection, innovation, technology and reliability, it’s no wonder why more champions have proudly worn Bell Helmets than any other brand.
TIME TESTED, CHAMPION TRUSTED
For over 65 years, our commitment to innovative design and progressive approach to safety has defined Bell Racing. That same attention to detail continues today throughout our entire line of products making each Bell helmet unique and worthy of being worn by the world’s best drivers.
From our first helmet manufactured in a garage behind Bell Auto Parts in 1954 under the leadership of Roy Richter, to the present line, we’re constantly breaking new ground in safety and technology innovation. We know that, as quick as the final flash of that checkered flag, the future soon becomes the past—so we don’t look back, we keep pushing forward, searching for the next finish line, the next win in a long history of wins.
That legacy continues today with the purpose of creating and producing state-of-the-art auto racing helmets that enhance driver performance and maximizes protection.
