This is the new "Bell Street 2016 Custom 500 Adult Helmet Stripes Pearl White". That appears to be the official (albeit clunky) designation.

Features include a low-profile composite fibre glass shell, 5 shell sizes, a custom-quilted liner, a padded chin-strap with D-ring fasteners, and a bag to tote it in.

There's a five year warranty, and the lid meets ECE 22.05 & DOT standards, meaning that it's legal pretty much everywhere. It weighs 1.5kgs. Peaks & visors are available separately.

The recommended retail price is £129.99, but (like most Bell lids) these are a little thin on the ground and may need ordering. The helmet, we hear, pays homage to Bell founder Roy Richter's (1914 - 1983) original 500 design. Sizes are XS - XXL. Talk to your local dealer, or search online.
