CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Bell Racing Helmets will be awarding a new GTX.2 Pro Series helmet to the USMTS national champion in 2013.

The redesigned GTX.2 is an ideal choice for racers competing in open-wheel and dirt track forms of racing. The Snell SA2010/FIA8858 GTX.2 features sleek aero styling including a front chin gurney and integrated rear wing for enhanced aerodynamic stability at higher speeds. With an ultra-lightweight carbon composite shell and pro-style interior for outstanding comfort, the GTX.2 provides industry-leading performance lap after lap.

The design of the GTX.2 is effective at preventing dust and dirt from entering the helmet by combining a venturi air exchange system with Bell's innovative eyeport foam tape and positive locking mechanism that seals the visor.
