Gotta love the Bell Custom 500 Helmets. 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.' The Bell 500 helmet pays homage to Richter's original design while adding modern protective technology to bring the design up to date. Whether it's a Bell Custom 500 Carbon, Special Edition or Standard Helmet you can't go wrong with this lid.
