Not Retro - Original

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 Custom 500 pays homage to Richter's original design ad adds modern protective technology to bring the design up-to-sate while still keeping the originals' 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 pain-inspired graphics, chrome trim work and a quilted liner, the Custom 500 looks as good as it performs.
