Bell – Custom 500 Flake Helmet

The Bell Custom 500 is pure vintage attitude – no frills, no gimmicks, just classic style done right. Inspired by the original lid that started it all, this 3/4 helmet nails that retro look while packing modern comfort where it counts. The lightweight fiberglass shell keeps it solid but never heavy, and the quilted, contrast-stitched liner feels just as good as it looks. Slip it on, snap the padded chin strap, and youre instantly transported back to the golden age of riding – only now, its safer and way more comfortable.

What really sets the Custom 500 apart is how natural it feels. The five different shell and EPS sizes give you that perfect low-profile fit – no mushroom head, no bulk. And with the integrated 5-snap setup, you can throw on a bubble shield, visor, or just let the wind hit your face. Its simple, stylish, and real – the kind of helmet that feels as good on a caf racer as it does on a cruiser. The Custom 500 isnt trying to be anything new – its just doing what its always done: look cool, fit right, and never go out of style. The design emphasizes Overbrow ventilation, helping the helmet feel cool, quiet, and secure over longer rides.
