Bell founder Roy Richter created his first helmet in 1954, and named it the 500. The Bell Custom helmet pays tribute to the design of that original helmet, while adding the modern protective technology that has made Bell helmets an industry leader for safety. The low profile shell works with goggles or glasses, and provides excellent noise reduction. An integrated 5 snap pattern works for peak, flat or bubble screens. Offered in five shell sizes with a variety of finishes, there is a Custom 500 to satisfy every rider.
