In the early 1950s, Roy Richter’s close friend lost his life in an automobile racing accident. A skilled racer and industry enthusiast himself, Richter realized after the crash that something could’ve been done to save his friends life. He decided that, since racing changed his life, he would change racing, and got to work in the garage behind his auto parts store to develop the 500, an unprecedented helmet for automobile racers. That was in 1954. In 1955, the helmet got its due when a professional racer in the Indy 500 crashed and credited the fittingly named 500 helmet with saving his life. With that racer’s endorsement and an underdeveloped niche in the market, Bell quickly grew into the innovative, influential, and premier helmet manufacturer it is today.
Now, the same passion for safety and innovation that brought Bell to fruition is what keeps them at the top of their class today. The company is all the right parts boundry-pushing technology, teamwork, dedication, skill, and nerve, and they use that to continue developing product that is time tested and champion trusted.
Bell’s focus remains on helmets, keeping dirt and street riders alike safe and secure in the event of a crash. With most helmets coming ECE & Snell certified, along with impressively durable and comfy EPS liners and an integrated MIPS system, Bell has continued to redefine safety in the industry.

Super nice helmet bag! Durable material outside and plenty of room for the best lids but the inside is the softest suede material so no abrasiveness on your sick pain job. Really good zipper too. Moto-10's come with them but anything else you'll need to snag one of these.

This has been a great dual sport and adventure helmet. Maybe not the lightest or quietest on the market but for the price it's a great helmet.

This is an excellent helmet that fits well, feels balanced, and provides a good field of vision.

Fits as expected. Looks surprisingly cool for a less-expensive helmet. Light and comfortable. I have seen MIPS tech in action and it has saved my head in the past. It's awesome to get these features in a helmet.

This helmet is sick!!! It is built super good and looks even better in person. Im sad because I have to return it. I wear Large in all other helmets and would need an XL in this. Unfortunately they dont have XL in stock for the particular one. If you normally wear Small or Medium, Id recommend going up one size and buying this quick before its gone. Hands down sickest helmet Ive ever seen.

This is my first dual sport helmet and it was worth the purchase. I traded out the clear lenses for some dark smoke. I also purchased the cold weather kit from Bell's website for the cold Appalachian mornings. The helmet is comfortable and beats any motor cross helmet on the highway. Very breathable helmet as well. And yes, you can run goggles perfectly fine. This helmet's visor can be removed as well so you can run it as a sport bike helmet which is sick
