The GP.2 combines advanced F1 styling, an
innovative air intake system for maximum ventilation and leading-edge
aerodynamic performance. The Snell SAH2010 GP.2 is a fantastic choice
for open wheel, formula racers and karters who demand superior features,
light weight and excellent fit. The redesigned GP.2 features a front
aero chin bar, an ultra-lightweight carbon composite shell, pro-style
interior for outstanding comfort and a front air intake that forces air
into the helmets forehead vents for maximum ventilation. The .200mm
GP.2 air intake is replaceable and the helmet can be used without the
air intake. The direct flow upper and lower chin bar vents on the front
of the helmet help to increase airflow and prevent shield fogging.
The
GP.2 has been designed to work with Bells aero kits to configure the
helmet for all open wheel and open compartment forms of racing depending
on the aerodynamic requirements and environment. While the GP.2 has a
front aero lip and chin bar designed into the helmet, these aerodynamic
kits enhance helmet performance to provide greater stability at higher
speeds. The aerodynamic kits include top wicker gurneys which create an
air separation point on the top of the helmet to allow airflow to detach
from the helmet reducing buffeting, chin bar gurneys which add down
force to the front of the helmet to prevent lift and rear spoilers that
improve overall helmet stability. Because of the way airflow accelerates
at higher speeds, Bell recommends using larger size gurneys at lower
relative speeds and medium or smaller gurneys as speeds increase. The
GP.2 comes with an air intake as standard equipment that can be replaced
as necessary. The aero kits attach with double sided adhesive that
holds aggressively to the shell yet can be removed easily without
damaging the helmet's finish. Other aerodynamic kits (sold separately)
that can be used with the GP.2 include:

The
GP.2 is certified to the Snell SAH2010 standard which requires the
helmet to be tested to the Snell SA2010 standard plus additional testing
for use with Head and Neck Restraint Devices. Bell is the first company
in the industry to certify helmets to the Snell SAH2010 standard.
Bells M6 terminal hardware is incorporated into the helmet and accepts
Head and Neck Restraint anchor system hardware. (We recommend
consulting with the Head and Neck Restraint manufacturer to select an
anchor system that allows the user to index the hardware in the proper
location for use with the device.) The Snell SAH2010 standard is compatible with FIA8858-2010 and is recognized by the FIA for use outside of North America.
The
GP.2 takes a 287 SRV Shield which features the SRV-1 pivot system and
thumb tab on the drivers left side to allow for easy shield operation.
Each helmet comes with a clear shield and Bell visor strip as standard
equipment. The GP.2 also features Bells redesigned face piece with
recessed areas that allow for seamless radio integration and easy
installation. Racers can also customize the fit of the GP.2 by using
Bells Cheek Pad Inserts in 5mm, 10mm, 15mm and 20mm sizes to tighten
the fit in the cheek area. In addition, replacement face piece kits are
available for the GP.2 in the event the front interior chin piece needs
to be replaced. The helmet is available in White and Rubberized Matte
Black finish the rubberized surface is more resistant to finger prints
and smudges than traditional flat finishes.
Customers buying the
GP.2 also may be interested in accessory items including an anti-fog
double screen shield insert to eliminate fogging in high humidity
environments, chin cover seals (small and large) that seal the bottom
chin bar area of the helmet and a breath deflector which installs at the
top of the chin bar and directs breath downward to prevent shield
fogging. The above accessory items (sold separately) are as follows:
2016656 287 HYPER SHIELD ANTI FOG INSERT - $29.95
2022149 CHIN COVER SEAL (SMALL) - $19.95
2022150 CHIN COVER SEAL (LARGE) - $19.95
2022151 BREATH DEFLECTOR - $19.95
