Product Information
Full details
The Bell Custom 500 Jet Helmet is an ideal choice for cafe racer enthusiasts and vintage-style riders who prioritize a classic, low-profile aesthetic without compromising on modern safety standards. It delivers a lightweight, comfortable experience through its fiberglass composite shell and advanced interior padding, though riders should note that as an open-face jet helmet, it offers less facial coverage compared to full-face alternatives.

FAQs
Is this helmet compatible with third-party visors?
Yes, the five-snap integrated system is designed to be compatible with most standard aftermarket visors and shields.
Does the helmet come with a face shield included?
No, the helmet is an open-face jet style; visors and shields are sold separately.
What is the primary material used in the shell?
The helmet is constructed from a lightweight fiberglass composite.
How do I determine if the oval shape fits me?
It is best to try the helmet on for an extended period to ensure no pressure points develop, as oval shapes differ from intermediate-oval or round-oval configurations.
How often should I clean the IONIC+ padding?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth is sufficient, though you should allow it to dry completely after every ride to maintain freshness.
Troubleshooting
Visor or shield feels loose or vibrates at speed
Ensure all five snaps are fully engaged and verify that the accessory is compatible with the Bell five-snap system.
Helmet feels uncomfortable or creates pressure points
The Custom 500 has a specific oval shell shape; ensure you have selected the correct size and verify that the padding is properly seated.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Authentic 1950s-inspired vintage aesthetic
- Lightweight fiberglass construction reduces neck strain
- High-quality, comfortable IONIC+ interior padding
- Highly customizable via the five-snap visor system
Cons
- Open-face design offers limited facial protection
- Does not include an integrated face shield
- Oval shell shape may not fit all head geometries comfortably
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your helmet remains in top condition, clean the exterior shell with a soft cloth and mild soap. The interior IONIC+ padding is designed to resist odor and moisture, but you should still allow the helmet to air dry thoroughly in a shaded, well-ventilated area after damp rides. When installing visors or accessories, ensure all five snaps are securely fastened to avoid vibration or detachment during use. Because this is an open-face helmet, consider pairing it with high-quality riding goggles or a snap-on face shield for improved protection against debris and wind noise.
