The Bell x Roland Sands Design Partnership
The partnership between Bell and Roland Sands has deep roots. Roland Sands, former AMA 250GP champion turned world-renowned designer, has long been blending high-speed grit with California cool. Bell Helmets, with its legacy stretching back to 1954, was the perfect canvas for Sands' motorsport-infused artwork.
Together, they’ve created helmets that don’t just protect riders, they represent them. From timeless street looks to pro-level dirt protection, every RSD helmet tells a story. Limited edition drops and signature graphics make these models instant collectibles, but they never skimp on real-world performance.
With a growing range of Bell x RSD helmets, riders can choose from vintage-inspired road lids or modern motocross helmets, all designed with the unmistakable Roland Sands touch.
