Throwbacks and retro lids are nice, but nothing beats an original. Back in 1954 Bell founder Roy Richter formed his first helmet out of fiberglass and named it the “500.” That moment was ground zero for the modern motorsport helmet and it gave rise to an entire industry. Bell’s new Custom 500 pays homage to Richter’s original design and adds modern protective technology to bring the design up-todate while still keeping the original’s aesthetic. By combining a custom fiberglass layup with a specially designed EPS foam layer, Bell engineers were able to craft a helmet that is at once light weight, narrow in profile, and DOT-compliant. Adding custom paint-inspired graphics, chrome trim work (on some graphics) and a quilted liner, the Custom 500 custom looks as good as it performs.

Round fit - Will AZ
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Looks cool, light weight
Cons: A rounder fit
I love this helmet but I can only wear it for short rides because of the rounder fit. I have a long oval head shape and this helmet doesn't work well for my kind of head.

Pros: Price, look, comfort
Cons: Chinstrap rubs my neck a bit
Love the look of this helmet. As far as protective nature goes it is what it is. It's open face so no protection in that area. But it's a great helmet for riding around the neighborhood and cheap enough not to worry about locking it up.
