Bell Helmets, Pro Circuit announce race partnership

Bell Helmets and Pro Circuit Racing announced a partnership in which Bell will be the official helmet for the 250 team.

“Bell has 60 years of experience innovating powersports and bicycle head protection, plus incredible resources from its sister companies Riddell and Giro, which has culminated into the revolutionary custom-fit technology and Moto-9 Flex,” said Mitch Payton, Pro Circuit founder and team manager. “Our long-standing relationship with Bell, plus its major advancement in technology and safety gave us the ultimate confidence to realign our riders with the leader in off-road helmets.”

The 250 team lineup of Adam Cianciarulo, Joey Savatgy, Chris Alldredge, Tyler Bowers and Arnaud Tonus will wear both Bell’s radically advanced Moto-9 Flex and Custom-Fit Moto-9.

“We’re proud to align ourselves with Pro Circuit, a prestigious and successful team with a well respected history in the sport,” said Chris Sackett, Bell Helmets vice president. “With the high level of competition and increased attention on safety, it’s essential that riders are wearing a helmet that offers the highest level of protection.”

Moto-9 Flex manages energy across a wide array of impact scenarios with its progressive layering system, which uses three densities of foam for low, mid and high-speed impacts. The helmet also has a “slip zone” in the liner, which gives subtle movement between the layers designed to reduce rotation energy transfer from some angular impacts.
