Bell Custom 500 Flake Open Face Helmets - 2013

Bell Custom 500 Flake Open Face Helmets - 2013


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 open face helmet pays homage to Richter's original design and adds moderen protective technology to bring the design up-to-date while still keeping the original's aesthetic. By combining a custom fiberglass layup with a specifically 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 new Bell Custom 500 helmet custom looks as good as it performs.
