Bell Custom 500 Slap Matte Black and Green Helmet: Custom Style with a Dark Character
The Bell Custom 500 Slap Matte Black and Green Helmet is an ideal option for riders looking for a classic jet helmet, but with a more sober, aggressive, and different aesthetic. Inspired by Bell's first production helmet from 1954, this model retains the vintage essence of the Custom 500, adding a modern graphic with lots of character.
Its design stands out for the combination of a matte black base with graphic lines and shapes in muted green, creating an elegant and very custom contrast. The result is a perfect helmet for dark bikes, bobber, chopper, cruiser, or scrambler builds with black, military green, graphite gray, or aged finishes.
