Bell Custom 500 Slap Red and White Gloss Helmet: Retro Design with a Strong Presence
The Bell Custom 500 Slap Red and White Gloss Helmet is designed for riders who want a classic jet helmet, comfortable and with a look that stands out. Its base is the iconic Bell Custom 500, inspired by Bell's first production helmet from 1954, but in this version it adds a much more striking graphic, perfect for those seeking personality on their bike.
The Slap design combines a deep red with areas in bright white and large curved shapes that run across the shell. The result is a helmet with a vintage look, sporty flair, and a very visual touch, ideal for custom bikes, café racers, scramblers, cruisers, and classic builds with red, white, black, or chrome details.
Design and Construction of the Bell Custom 500 Slap
The Custom 500 Slap maintains the philosophy of traditional 3/4 helmets: wide field of vision, compact silhouette, and a comfortable fit to enjoy riding in style. Its oval design and low-profile fit help achieve that smaller, more proportioned look so sought after in custom-inspired jet helmets.

- 5 shell sizes to improve fit according to the rider's size.
- Padded and plush interior, pleasant to the touch with contrasting stitching.
- Ionic+™ quick-dry liner, helps manage sweat and combat odor-causing bacteria.
- Padded chin strap for greater comfort during use.
- Integrated 5-snap pattern, compatible with snap-on visors and shields.
- ECE 22.06 approval for riding in compliance with current European regulations.
