SA is a tougher standard.....More testing(i.e. mutliple roll bar impact,fire protection)......


M is motorcycle standard,less testing(single inpact)........

They'll answer all your questions on the phone and they have a shop here:

The Bell Store
949 Newhall
Costa Mesa, CA 92627
I stopped by the Bell Store on Saturday. They were closed, with a "By Appointment Only" sign on the door. I should have called before I drove all the way down there.

Ouch, sorry about that. I too would have assumed they'd be open on Saturdays. in full force.

Nico: check with the rules of your trackday company. Each has slightly different requirements on helmets. The ones I've seen are all ~ Snell 95. Snell updates every year or two with slightly tougher rules. I think the helmet I bought recently from Bell was Snell 2000 certified. Might as well get the latest year in certification while you're buying a helmet -- it doesn't change the price by much, if anything.

Here's the list to check (note that some helmets with no changes get approved for the new year and don't update their packaging):
