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 pays homage to Richter’s original design and adds modern protective technology to bring the design up-to-date while still keeping the original’s 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 paint-inspired graphics, chrome trim work (on some graphics) and a quilted liner, the new Custom 500 custom looks as good as it performs.
- Custom fiberglass shell
- Custom-quilted liner
- Chrome trim (graphic dependent)
- Integrated snaps for aftermarket shields and visors
- Padded chin strap with D-ring closure and strap keeper
- Five-year warranty
- Certification: DOT
- Weight: 880g

Bell Throwback Helmet
I have a retro scooter so I thought it would be appropriate to get a retro lid too! The black flake finish gives my helmet some sparkle in the sunlight and I've received several compliments on it. My new Bell 500 helmet is so lightweight and perfect for scooting around my town! I haven't done any long or fast riding so I couldn't tell you how the wind noise is. But, at low speeds for cruising around, I didn't notice any noise. It also doesn't make me look like a bobble-head because the shape isn't as round as other ones I have seen!
