Product Information
Full details
The Bell TX501 Classic Jet Helmet is designed for adult riders who appreciate vintage aesthetics combined with modern safety standards. It serves as an updated tribute to the legendary 500-TX, offering superior protection through a fiberglass composite shell and ECE 22.06 certification. While it delivers excellent airflow and optical clarity, riders should note that the open-face design offers less wind and debris protection compared to full-face alternatives.

FAQs
Is the Bell TX501 ECE 22.06 certified?
Yes, it meets the rigorous ECE 22.06 safety standards.
Can I replace the sun visor?

Does this helmet come in different shell sizes?
Bell utilizes a multi-density EPS liner and shell construction to optimize fit across different head sizes.
Can the liner be washed in a machine?
We recommend hand washing the liner in a basin with mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the fabrics and fasteners.
Troubleshooting
Visor is not retracting smoothly
Check the visor track for grit or debris and clear it using compressed air or a soft brush.
Helmet feels loose during riding
Adjust the micrometric buckle to a tighter notch and ensure the inner padding is correctly snapped into place.
Interior smells or retains sweat
Remove the washable comfort liner and clean it with specialized gear detergent, then allow it to dry completely before reinstallation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a proper fit, measure your head circumference above the eyebrows and compare it against the sizing chart. When putting the helmet on, ensure the micrometric buckle is tightened securely but comfortably against the throat. The interior comfort liner is fully removable; pull the attachment tabs gently to release the liner for washing with a mild detergent and air drying. For the exterior shell and visor, use only a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the visor coating or shell finish. Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong the life of the internal EPS foam.
