Bell 500 Custom
As a user of the beanie type helmets for the last 12 years it is taking a little to get used to but I really love the fit of this helmet. I have a really big head and have a hard time finding anything to fit. The 2XL of this is perfect for my big noggin.

Very good helmet
I measured on the border between Small & Medium and so chose Small as recommended. At first the helmet was super tight on the sides and so I ordered a Medium. The medium was too big, so I was a bit sad that my head doesn't fit any helmet. And especially sad because I really like the colour and slight sparkly flake effect (not too loud). So then I used the round end of a screwdriver handle to very slowly work at squishing the foam on the tight spots. It wasn't much adjusting and I stopped getting a headache from having my head in a vise. Bottom line: it fits great and looks great, not a bobble head look either. Paired with a long clear Bell visor.
I kept the Medium for my daughter, so now going to get another visor as a change up. The Bell visor can flip up about 20 degrees due to the slot in the plastic around the centre snap. Works great! Next I'm aiming for a full-face like the Bell or Biltwell.

Good quality but a bit tight in the front part
I have an oval head and a big face so I felt the foam pressuring the upper side of my chicks around the eye, had to get a screwdriver and press the foam a bit

Qualité et look classique
Bien heureux de mon achat. Le look classique des casques Bell. Pas trop gros : vous n'aurez pas l'air d'avoir une tête en champignon.
Côté technique, j'apprécie qu'ils aient travailler à atténuer le bruit au niveau des oreilles. Sans être silencieux, il est vraiment confortable et peu bruyant.

comfortable and easy on the wallet
I bought this as a christmas present to myself and we then had the warmest christmas eve on record here. Normally below freezing and instead was 16'C. Opened it up and took the bike out of storage. Really happy with it. The helmet is light and comfortable.

Questions
does this helmet have a goggle strap holder on the back?
yes it does

Is the 500 good for RX wearers? I'm 60.5 cm intermediate oval.. L or XL?
Unfortunately, this helmet is not really designed for use with glasses, as there are no cut outs, and customers reviews mention that the helmet pushes down on the glasses legs, so anything other than thin aviator style glasses with the thin metal arms would be a struggle. We would recommend going with a size XL.

My head measures 54.5 should I get XS or S?
As per reviews, it fits a little bit smaller so we recommend you go with a size small.

I am looking for a helmet to use for auto cross, and need a helmet that comes with a " snell 2005 " or newer sticker. Does the Bell 500 have such an approval sticker? This will be car not motorcycle use. Regards, Alex.
For NHRA, requires a snell 2015 rating. Summit racing has open face helmets that have the correct rating.

Even Bells website only lists the Bell Custom 500 Riff Helmet as ECE approved. To which ECE "version"? 22.05? 22.06?
ECE 22.05
