INTRODUCING THE ALL NEW 2026 BELL X RSD OBISPO HELMET

A Decade of Hooligan Spirit, Built Into Every Line

Ten years ago, Roland Sands had an idea.

Not just another race. Not just another class.

Something raw. Something loud. Something built for riders who didn’t fit the mold.

That idea became the Super Hooligan National Championship (SHNC) — and it changed everything.

Now, a decade later, that same spirit comes full circle with the launch of the Bell Helmets x Roland Sands Design Lithium Mips Plus — a helmet that doesn’t just protect your head… it tells the story.

This isn’t a throwback. It’s a continuation.

The gold, black, and white colorway isn’t random — it’s straight out of the SHNC DNA. The same colors that have defined the grid, the chaos, and the culture for the last 10 years.

  • Gold → Championship mindset. Earned, not given.
  • Black → Grit. Asphalt. Late braking and bar-to-bar racing.
  • White → The canvas. Where style meets speed.

Layered together in classic RSD fashion, the graphics hit that perfect balance between race-bred aggression and premium finish. Metallic gold flake, deep contrast blacks, and clean whites that pop whether you're under the lights or blasting down PCH.

A Helmet That Hits as Hard as It Looks

Underneath the design is the all-new Lithium Mips Plus platform from Bell Helmets — and it’s not just about looks.

This isn’t a “style-first” helmet.

It’s a performance helmet that happens to look damn good doing it.

10 Years of Chaos, Refined

The SHNC was never about playing it safe.

It was about building something that felt real — bikes that weren’t supposed to race, riders who didn’t follow rules, and a culture that blurred the line between street and track.

That same mindset lives in this helmet.

It’s for:

  • The rider who pushes harder than they should
  • The one lining up at the grid — or just acting like it on the street
  • The ones who don’t separate style from performance

Because that’s what hooligan racing has always been about.
