As most bikers know, Bell pretty much invented the modern motorcycle helmet.
In 1954, Roy Richter founded the helmet division of Bell Auto Parts and, in 1957, they introduced the most famous helmet in motorcycling history, the 500TX, a design that is now displayed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Some years ago, Bell said sold its naming rights to a company in Belgium, but recently they took the rights back and have now created a new range of helmets that have been designed specifically for the European market.
Perhaps the most exciting model in the new range is the mind-blowingly beautiful, full face Bullitt helmet.
Other who have gone down a similarly classic route have merely reproduced designs from the seventies,
but from the ground up the Bullitt is brimming with originality.
Take, for example, the fine mesh covered air intakes above the visor, or the magnetic visor closure system with its leather strap.
The Bullitt is unlike any other helmet out there.
It really is an innovative and daring piece of design. Everything else, we have to say , is pure Bell.
Three shell sizes.
Suede and leather interior.
D-ring strap.
Five year warranty.
As far as we're concerned, the new Bullitt helmet is a masterpiece; as much a work of art as it is an item of protective headwear.
It's quite simply the most exquisite full-face helmet we've ever seen.
Just take one look at it, and you'll know you'll want one.
