Quality
It goes without saying that any motorcycle products, including Helmets, need to be of a high quality. The quality of a product is something that we can measure in a number of ways.
Some of the key things that we’d be looking out for when comparing Helmets would be the materials as different materials can make or break a good product, take the time to read up on the materials of Bell Custom 500 Carbon and comparing it to other products in your budget.
Brand – the brand again is often a good indication as to how good Helmets are. Bell are known for making great products so you’re likely to be in safe hands here.
Features – we’ll cover the features in more detail below, but this point is just to highlight that the product features are something you’ll want to spend some time familiarising yourself with and comparing to other products that are available.
Durability – consider how you plan to use Bell Custom 500 Carbon, how regularly you’ll use it and how long you want it to last. Obviously the ideal to “how long you want it to last” is “forever” but this is something that you’ll need to think about. If you genuinely want something that is going to last you for a really long time then you need to be prepared to pay for a top end product.

Reviews
Reviews are again one of the most important things for you to spend time on when considering buying new Helmets, no matter your budget, preferences advice you’ve been given or previous experience, you’ll want to read lots of customer reviews.

Take your time to read through lots of the reviews as you’ll find it really helps you to get a real insight into the product without physically getting your hands on it. Customers leaving reviews are often the most honest piece of feedback you’re likely to get, as to how good the product actually is. If it doesn’t live up to expectations you’ll soon notice lots of poor reviews, and of course the opposite is true too, customers will leave good reviews when it’s deserved.
