Bell HP6 Evo-II RD Carbon FIA8860 Helmet (comms)

Available from Harris Race Radios® — your authorised Bell Helmets dealer in New Zealand and Australia. Our race engineers can advise on fitment, homologation, and communication system integration.

The Bell HP6 Evo-II RD is Bell's FIA 8860-2018 closed cockpit helmet with a fully integrated ZeroNoise communication system — designed for professional circuit drivers who demand the highest homologation standard with race-ready comms built in from the factory. The RD (Race Driver) configuration includes a noise-cancelling microphone, RCA in-ear speaker connections, coiled Nexus cable, and an integrated hydration port for endurance racing.

Who Needs the HP6 Evo-II RD?

The HP6 Evo-II RD is for closed cockpit circuit competitors in series mandating FIA 8860-2018, where integrated driver-to-pit communication is required. If your series mandates FIA 8860-2018 and you need factory-fitted comms, this is the benchmark Bell circuit helmet. For the same helmet without integrated comms, see the GT6 Evo-II Carbon.
