🔔 Bell Custom 500 Carbon Helmet: RSD Checkmate Matte/Gloss Black/Gold - X-Small - Superior Protection and Style Review

I love this helmet. It sits low on my head, which I find comforting. Some may not like the low fit that bothers the glasses, I use a shield and am very satisfied. I have been riding motorcycles for over 50 years and this is one of my favorite helmets.

Great helmet but Bell's size is hard to find. My previous Custom 500 Carbon was medium and undersized. The large one I ordered this time has too much wiggle room. The shell is far removed from "low profile". I can't help but feel like a life size bobbing head. Cheetah Motorsport's service is fantastic.

Not what I expected There was a screw for the face shield. Too expensive and they didn't answer my question about the price difference. It was not possible to insert or put on the glasses without any problems. too tight for glasses and the elastic of the glasses didn't stay on my head when I wore the internal glasses and it was hard to find glasses that worked

Light weight and color like my Harley. I have found that many helmets do not allow me to wear glasses and this one fits my glasses perfectly and snugly. You can also add a sun visor or clear visor to keep the wind out of your face. The best helmet I have ever had and tried myself. Feel safer with this carbon helmet than some others I've tried.

I bought this helmet to wear spring and fall but will probably keep my "short" helmet with balaclava use. This one is definitely larger than those in the past, but obviously had to be to be DOT compliant. I really prefer a narrower profile helmet and might try the Biltwell. This is my only complaint, but it's enough to make me want to sell it. It's light - my Large weighs just under 2 1/2 pounds at 38 ounces.

Great helmet, very light and the quality is top notch. The carbon fiber is impeccable and the craftsmanship is what you would expect from Bell. I'm always between large and XL and I chose XL and I'm glad I did. The helmet sits a little lower than other 3/4 helmets and I don't think it looks like the "head bobbing" that some guys are so sensitive to. (It's an MC helmet and you're not Steve McQueen!) Anyway, I digress - great cap! If you're on the fence check out Revzilla, they do amazing product

Yes, this is a very good case for such a price! I saw one person reply that it's not carbon fiber, but if you pick it up you won't deny that it's not fiberglass. I know the ad mentions a bag, but the bag is also high quality. You're getting about half the price as this was released a few years ago and is new from old stock. Mine was never taken out of the bag. If you just don't want to spend $300 on a good helmet, I don't see why you shouldn't consider this article. Note that I also purchased…

Seriously, first of all, Revane Prime? The helmet came in a box that looked like it was 10 years old, re-taped and fell apart - so AMZ usually sends me $15 junk in brand new boxes (in the box) full of packaging. but a nearly $500 helmet ships in a bell helmet breakout box, no outer box? And in general the helmet is very well finished, the shell is handmade (in a good way, like Arai). I haven't worn a 'half' in decades, but thought it would be nice on my new Guzzi (roadster-type) bike over my…
