Product Information
Full details
The Bell Custom 500 Jet Helmet is designed for adult riders who value a blend of vintage aesthetics and modern construction. It offers the key benefit of a lightweight, low-profile fiberglass composite shell that provides robust protection without the bulk of traditional open-face designs. While it excels in style and heritage comfort, users should note that as an open-face helmet, it does not provide the same full-face coverage or wind protection as closed-face alternatives.

FAQs
Is this helmet DOT approved?
Yes, the Bell Custom 500 meets or exceeds current safety standards for road use.
Can I install a Bluetooth communication system?
The helmet is not pre-wired for communication systems, but universal clip-on systems can often be used with open-face designs.
How do I clean the interior?
The IONIC+ comfort liner is removable and should be hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried.
Are replacement shields available?
Yes, any standard five-snap shield or bubble visor compatible with the Bell Custom 500 series will fit this model.
How should the helmet fit?
The helmet should feel snug around your head without creating painful pressure points, and should not rotate freely when you shake your head.
Troubleshooting
Padding feels tight after initial wear
The comfort liner will naturally compress and contour to your head shape after several hours of use.
Shield snaps are difficult to engage
Ensure the shield is aligned perfectly with the helmet snaps and apply firm, even pressure until you hear an audible click.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper fit, measure your head circumference above the eyebrows. For care, remove the IONIC+ comfort liner when necessary for cleaning according to manufacturer guidelines; use only mild soap and water on the exterior shell to protect the glossy flake finish. The helmet is compatible with most standard five-snap shields. Always inspect the snaps and the chinstrap integrity before every ride to ensure all safety components remain secure.
