Bell Custom 500 Open-Face Helmet

The most classic helmet ever made. Classic, because it never needed to chase time — it carried it. Since 1954, the Bell Custom 500 has remained almost unchanged, quietly proving that good design doesn’t age, it endures.

As our world becomes more advanced, people are drawn back to what feels real. The charm of vintage isn’t nostalgia — it’s honesty. Back then, a helmet had one purpose: to protect. Safety, function, simplicity. That was enough.

Keeping that same spirit alive today is harder than it sounds. While the industry adds technology and new materials, the Custom 500 must remain true — ordinary, yet never look ordinary. It carries the same soul, but with a modern refinement that keeps it relevant.

This open-face helmet is as practical as it is iconic. I won’t say much — just wear it. Add a scarf and a pair of sunglasses, and you’ll understand what I mean.
