Bell Helmets has a Steve McQueen-inspired helmet for riders everywhere. The Bell Custom 500 Six Days McQueen helmet brings retro style to the classic design to honor McQueen’s participation in the 1964 International Six Days Trial race as a part of the first-ever U.S. team.
Honoring the ‘King of Cool’ With the Bell Custom 500 Six Days McQueen Helmet
The Custom 500 is the open-face helmet that has defined Bell for years, and the company keeps making it better and better.
The helmet features a five-snap integrated pattern for shields and visors. It has a low-profile look and a low weight of 982G (size M). It comes with both DOT and ECE certifications.
Bell’s Custom 500 Six Days McQueen helmet features the livery of his 1964 ISDT lid. The helmet features a royal blue base coat with white and red accents that sweep from the front to the rear.
“My Dad loved riding motorcycles more than anything,” said Steve McQueen’s son, Chad McQueen. “Much of my childhood memories with my dad revolve around motorcycles. We loved going on two-wheeled adventures together and I’m thrilled to see this helmet come back to life considering my dad and I always wore Bell helmets. Celebrating my dad’s passion for motorcycling and his role as an ambassador for off road-racing. My kids and I couldn’t be prouder of this partnership.”
Bell’s latest version of the Custom 500 will come in sizes XS to XXL. It will cost $209.95. Bell will also release a collection of Steve McQueen apparel at Bell retailers.
