The Bell Custom 500 Gloss Black is a timeless tribute to Bell’s very first production helmet from 1954, reimagined with modern materials and craftsmanship for today’s riders. Its iconic 3/4 open-face design blends classic heritage with a sleek, low-profile silhouette that enhances both comfort and style. Perfect for riders who value vintage looks with contemporary protection, the Custom 500 captures the spirit of freedom and individuality that defines motorcycling. Whether you are a café racer enthusiast or a city commuter, this helmet delivers unmistakable retro appeal with a modern edge.
Designed for a superior fit, the Bell Custom 500 comes in five precisely contoured shell sizes, ensuring every rider experiences the perfect balance of comfort and proportion. The lightweight fibreglass composite shell provides outstanding durability and impact protection while maintaining a compact, streamlined feel. Inside, the plush quilted liner is meticulously stitched and padded for all-day comfort, complemented by a secure padded chin strap that keeps the helmet snug and stable on every ride.
Every detail of the Custom 500 has been considered to deliver both function and flair. The integrated five-snap pattern allows easy attachment of a wide range of visors and shields, letting riders personalise their look and level of wind protection. The IONIC+ quick-drying interior padding is breathable and designed to manage moisture while preventing the build-up of odour-causing bacteria, keeping your helmet fresh even on the longest journeys. With its perfect combination of form and function, the Custom 500 is a nod to the past that fits seamlessly into modern riding culture.
Certified to the latest ECE 22.06 safety standards and weighing just 982 grams in size M, the Bell Custom 500 Gloss Black delivers exceptional protection without unnecessary bulk. Constructed from premium materials including fibreglass, EPS, fabric, and decorative finishes, it reflects Bell’s long-standing commitment to quality and innovation. The result is a helmet that combines vintage authenticity with advanced engineering, allowing you to ride with confidence, comfort, and timeless style.
