Product Information
Full details
This guide is for adult racers using Bell helmets in closed-car environments. The Bell Forced Air Top Intake provides a crucial benefit by ducting cool air to the helmet, significantly improving driver comfort and focus by reducing heat and visor fogging. A key consideration is its compatibility with specific Bell helmet models and cooling systems. This intake system distributes air evenly to cool the face and prevent visor fogging, while also dispersing airflow to cool the driver's head.

FAQs
What Bell helmet models is this intake compatible with?
This intake is designed for Bell 6 Series helmets (HP77, HP7, RS7) and 5 Series helmets (HP5 Touring, GT5 Touring, GT5 Sport, Sport 5).
Can I use this with any fresh air system?
Yes, it is suitable for use with the Bell InterCooler Type 3, other external cooling systems, or simple fresh air duct systems, provided they can connect to the 31mm (V05) or 23mm (V10) ports.
How is the intake attached to the helmet?
It is securely attached using extremely strong adhesive pre-applied to the mounting surface of the intake.
Can the intake be painted?
Yes, the intake can be painted to match your helmet's design.
What are the pipe connection sizes?
It features a 31mm push-on pipe connection (V05), which is also suitable for Maglock Air Kits, and a 23mm quick-lock connection (V10).
Does this product include the air source or ducting?
No, this product is the forced air intake unit only. You will need a separate compatible air source and ducting system.
Troubleshooting
Airflow seems weak or insufficient.
Check that the air source (e.g., cooling unit) is functioning correctly and set to an appropriate level. Ensure all ducting connections are secure and there are no kinks or blockages in the air hose. Verify the helmet vent channels are clear.
Intake is not staying attached to the helmet.
Ensure the helmet surface was properly cleaned and dried before attachment. Reapply with a new adhesive backing if necessary, ensuring firm pressure for the recommended curing time.
Visor fogging persists.
While the intake helps, ensure the visor's anti-fog treatment is intact. Check that the air is being directed effectively towards the visor area as intended by the helmet's internal design and the intake's airflow paths.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Clean the helmet surface thoroughly where the intake will be attached. Peel the backing from the strong adhesive and firmly press the intake into position. Allow the adhesive to cure according to manufacturer instructions before connecting your air hose. Connect your chosen air ducting system (e.g., Bell InterCooler Type 3, other external systems) to the appropriate push-on 31mm (V05) or quick-lock 23mm (V10) connector.
Compatibility: This intake is specifically designed for Bell helmets within the 6 Series (HP77, HP7, RS7) and 5 Series (HP5 Touring, GT5 Touring, GT5 Sport, Sport 5). Ensure your chosen air source and ducting are compatible with the 31mm or 23mm connection sizes.
Care: After use, gently wipe the intake with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the connection port remains clear of obstructions.
