Back in 1954, Bell founder Roy Richter formed his first helmet out of fibreglass and named it the 500. Bell s Custom 500 pays homage to Richter's original design while adding modern protective technology to bring the design up-to-date. The Bell Custom 500 has that great pedigree and originality, but with all the modern touches you would expect from a manufacturer like Bell. The Bell Custom 500 is DOT and ECE 22.05 safety rated and has a fibreglass shell, padded chin strap and a quilted liner.
