Product Information
Full details
The Bell TX501 is designed for urban commuters and touring riders who desire the iconic 500-TX silhouette paired with modern safety standards. This open-face helmet offers a refined blend of retro aesthetics and contemporary protection, featuring a fiberglass composite shell and ECE 22.06 certification; however, as an open-face model, it does not provide the same lower-face or jaw protection as a full-face helmet.

FAQs
Is this helmet ECE 22.06 certified?
Yes, the Bell TX501 meets the current ECE 22.06 safety standards.
Can I remove the inner liner for cleaning?
Yes, the synthetic leather liner is fully removable and washable.
Does it come with a clear shield?
The helmet features an integrated drop-down sunshield; please verify specific regional kit inclusions upon purchase.
What is the shell made of?
The shell is constructed from a robust fiberglass composite.
Is this suitable for high-speed highway riding?
While safe, open-face helmets inherently offer less wind protection and noise isolation than full-face models at high highway speeds.
Troubleshooting
Sunshield is difficult to deploy
Check the mechanism for debris or dust accumulation and clean the track gently with a dry cloth.
Helmet feels loose over time
Adjust the micrometric strap to ensure a tighter fit or check if the interior liner requires washing to restore its fluff and structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, always confirm that the helmet fits snugly without pressure points before your first ride. The micrometric buckle is adjustable; tighten the strap until it holds the helmet firmly in place against your chin. To clean, remove the synthetic leather interior liner and wash it by hand using mild soap and cool water, allowing it to air dry completely. For the exterior shell and sunshield, use a soft microfiber cloth with water or a dedicated helmet cleaning solution to prevent scratching the surface or damaging the optical clarity of the visor.
