IMSA Comms, Hydration, and ZeroNoise® in a Race-Ready Shell
Built for serious endurance and GT drivers, the Bell Racing GT6 RD 4C/EC Helmet brings full comms and hydration integration into a track-ready shell without compromise. With its titanium finish, aggressive HP6-derived design, and wide eye port for visibility in tight cockpits, this is the helmet for those who treat every lap like a qualifying session. The GT6 RD 4C/EC is ready for IMSA communication and hydration systems right out of the box—because seconds count, even off the throttle.
4C: Carbon Composite 4 Layer Construction
On Bell helmets, “4C” stands for “Carbon Composite 4 Layer Construction.” It refers to the shell technology Bell uses: a 4-layer carbon composite laminate. This blend typically combines carbon fiber with other advanced fibers (like Kevlar® or fiberglass) in multiple layers.
The purpose is to deliver a shell that is lighter than fiberglass alone, but more affordable and versatile than Bell’s top-end full carbon HP series shells (like HP7 or HP77 which use pure carbon/advanced aerospace layups). In the case of this Carbon-4C/EC model, the helmet is a Carbon Composite 4-layer shell with EC (electronic comms) kit integration.
