Bell Custom 500 Chief Black Open Face Helmet

Bell, the American brand synonymous with benchmarks for over 50 years, is reissuing its legendary open face helmet formerly known as the Bell 500 RT - in homage to the Indy 500 race - under the name Custom 500.

For fans of the 60s and 70s, and of Steve McQueen - who wore it and helped make it legendary - the Bell Custom 500 open face helmet has a taste of nostalgia.

With its classic vintage look and modern design, it features a shell that benefits from Bell's Twin Shell System technology, i.e. a composite fiberglass shell - for reduced weight and improved shock absorption - covered by a thin, abrasion-resistant technopolymer shell.

Bell has designed this helmet with no fewer than 5 different shell and EPS sizes, an incredible number for a jet helmet of this type, enabling it to offer a weight and volume perfectly proportional to the wearer's morphology, and limiting the well-known "bulb-head" effect of this type of helmet.

Highly engineered, it boasts a remarkable quality of finish - suede interior trimmed in leather, perfect fit to the wearer's head and, as in historic times, the Bell Custom 500 has no screen, but you can purchase a clear one or a smoked one with snaps, available on iCasque. You can also add a peak to your Custom 500, available as an option on iCasque.

True to its glorious past, Bell is back in the spotlight with ECE 22.06-approved helmets that combine quality, innovation and performance, for motorcyclists and scooterists wishing to perpetuate the legend.
