Bell Custom 500 Helmet

The Bell Custom 500 Helmet is a modern interpretation of a true motorcycling icon, inspired by BellÂ’s original 1954 helmet design. This classic 3/4 open-face helmet delivers timeless style with a low-profile oval shape, offering a compact and clean look that appeals to riders who appreciate vintage aesthetics without sacrificing modern safety standards.

Low-Profile Design and Lightweight Construction

Designed for a sleek and comfortable fit, the Bell Custom 500 features a lightweight fibreglass composite shell that balances durability with reduced weight. Weighing approximately 982g (±50g, size M), it offers excellent comfort for everyday riding, city cruising, and longer journeys. The low-profile design helps eliminate the bulky appearance often associated with traditional open-face helmets.

Tailored Fit Across Five Shell Sizes

The Custom 500 is engineered for superior fit and comfort, offering five shell sizes to ensure accurate sizing across the full range. This approach reduces excess padding and improves overall balance, making the helmet feel secure and natural on the head while enhancing rider confidence and comfort.

Premium Interior Comfort

Inside, the helmet is equipped with a plush, contrast-stitched quilted interior that delivers both comfort and classic styling. The IONIC+ antimicrobial padding is moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and antibacterial, helping manage sweat and maintain freshness during warm-weather riding. This interior design ensures lasting comfort while complementing the helmetÂ’s vintage look.

Versatile Shield Compatibility

Designed with customisation in mind, the Bell Custom 500 includes an integrated 5-snap pattern that is compatible with a wide range of shields and visors. This allows riders to personalise their setup easily, whether adding a peak, bubble shield, or flat visor to suit different riding styles and conditions.

Certified Safety and Secure Retention

The Bell Custom 500 Helmet meets ECE 22.06 safety standards, providing reliable protection while maintaining its classic open-face design. A padded chin strap with a traditional D-ring closure ensures a secure and adjustable fit, trusted by riders for its simplicity and strength.
