Bell Custom 500 Flake Open-Face Helmet

Rediscover the classic essence of freedom on the open road with the BELL Custom 500 Flake open-face helmet. Much more than just a modern piece of protective gear, the Custom 500 is the direct descendant of the legendary original helmet designed in 1954 by Bell's founder, Roy Richter. This iconic model perfectly captures the timeless spirit of motorcycling, blending an authentic retro aesthetic with the latest advancements in rider safety and comfort. Its stunning "Flake" finish delivers a deep, glittering look that shines brilliantly under the sunlight, ensuring you stand out with unparalleled vintage elegance. Specifically designed for the adult rider who embraces Cafe Racer and custom motorcycle culture, this helmet is the ideal accessory to complement any classic, bobber, or modern custom build.

Beyond its striking looks, the Custom 500 is engineered for a superior, proportional fit. By utilizing five unique shell sizes, Bell completely eliminates the unwanted "bubble-head" effect, ensuring a low-profile look that sits closer to the head. Safety is robust, backed by a durable fiberglass composite shell and a multi-density EPS inner liner that provides progressive energy absorption in the event of an impact. Inside, refinement is evident with finishes that include genuine leather and a custom-padded, anti-bacterial lining, offering a soft and long-lasting touch for all-day rides. Versatility is also a key feature thanks to the classic integrated 5-snap pattern, allowing you to easily customize the helmet with a wide variety of aftermarket visors and shields. Fastening is secured by the traditional padded chin strap with a double-D ring closure system, providing the most secure and reliable fit every time you ride.
