Key Features & Specs:
Heritage Series: The Bell 500-TX Classic is a modern Heritage Series recreation of Bell's landmark 500-TX open-face helmet shape.

The current 500-TX Classic combines that unmistakable open-face profile with modern fiberglass-composite construction, a contemporary energy-management liner, flame-resistant interior materials, and current FHR attachment provisions for vintage and historic motorsport use.
