• How do I determine my helmet size?

  Measure the circumference of your head at the widest point, just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare this with the size chart on this page. If you're between two sizes, choose the smaller size — the interior liner will conform to your head shape after a few weeks of wear.

• What certification does this helmet have?

  All Bell helmets we sell are ECE 22.06 certified — the latest European safety standard. This means the helmet meets the strictest requirements for impact protection, field of vision, and visor quality. ECE 22.06 is mandatory in the Netherlands and across Europe.

• Can I return the helmet if it doesn't fit?

  Yes, you can return the helmet within 14 days provided it is unworn and undamaged, with all original packaging and labels. Contact us via the contact form or WhatsApp for a return label.

• How do I maintain my Bell helmet?

  Clean the exterior with a soft cloth and lukewarm water with mild soap. The interior liner is removable and washable at 30°C on most models. Never use solvents or aggressive cleaning agents. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

• What is the lifespan of a motorcycle helmet?

  Bell recommends replacing your helmet every 5 years, even without visible damage. UV radiation, sweat, and normal wear degrade the EPS foam that protects your head. After any crash or impact, always replace the helmet immediately, even if there's no visible damage.

• Is the Custom 500 suitable for daily use?

  Yes, the Custom 500 is a fully ECE 22.06 certified open-face helmet, suitable for daily use. It's popular among city riders and café racer enthusiasts. Combine it with a visor or goggles for extra protection.
