If so can you comment how it fits and how it's sized.
I have aShoei Qwest that I love but want to grab a 500 and no one with in 200 miles has them in stock to try on.

Thanks,

I have one and I like it! I ordered an XL and I probably could wear a large. It is a little big but I still wear it all the time. Just ordered a bubble shield for it.

No doubt the Bells are cool and has a venereal name, you might look at RockHard Helmets. I got one and am very pleased with the fit and finish. They are slightly less money, but not much.

I have two of them; a flat black and an orange sparkle. I love them both - they break in and I can wear them all day long with zero problems. They hold a google strap extremely well and I think it is a heck of a value for what they charge for the helmet

I have the Bell Cobra 500, great fit after breaking it in. I had to go a size larger than my other bell 3/4.


Ride like you mean it.

Yep, just got one from Dime City Cycle (via internet) . I am not a helmet wearer but I do like this one and have been wearing it alot.......according to their size chart my size was a large and it does fit.....how would I compare it to an arai or schubert ? It is way cool , like my davida's ..My ONLY complaint for the Bell 500 is that it does not have a holder on the back for goggles, but that can be fixed with a little ingenuity....$99.00 well spent

I like mine a lot, seems to fit true to size. I get a lot of compliments on it.
