The world of motorcycles is always changing, and with it, the taste of riders all across the world. While we believe a Bell helmet never goes out of style, it’s hard to argue the trends that cycle through each season. As we’re ankle deep in 2024, it’s important to look back at the past to see what riders were wearing last year.
Check out the top five Bell Helmets of 2023:
1. Qualifier
Our entry-level full-face lid was at the top of riders’ lists in 2023, with its lightweight material and ultra-sleek design. The Qualifier delivers exceptional performance with features inspired by our flagship Star line. Its aggressive styling, NutraFogg II anti-fog, anti-scratch clear face shield, Velocity Flow ventilation, and integrated speaker pockets make this helmet ideal for the daily commuters who want to stand out in the road.
2. Custom 500
There’s nothing more classic than the Bell ¾ shell. Inspired by the very first production helmet made in 1954, this retro style lid thrilled riders across the globe in 2023 with our extensive collection of new graphics and collaborations, like the Limited-Edition Steve McQueen Seven Day Custom 500. There’s no surprise this style helmet earned its spot at the top of the list, and continues to be a rider’s favorite across all generations of two-wheeled enthusiasts.
3. Bullitt
Speaking of retro…whether you’re riding a café racer or cruising downtown on a hardtail, the vintage inspired Bullitt has thrilled riders of all motorcycle styles for years. Inspired by the old school Bell Star lids introduced in the 60s and 70s, this modern design full-face has long since inspired other helmets in the space, but none can come close to the original “king of cool”.
4. SRT Modular
Praised by touring motorcyclists and daily commuters alike, the SRT Modular has earned its rank as the fourth favorite helmet across Bell customers in 2023. With its seamless ability to go from full-face to ¾ in one swoop, and our collection of bold graphics and colors to fit everyone’s style and taste, there’s no surprise this dual-function lid continues to be at the top of rider’s lists when it comes to upgrading their road protection.
5. Race Star DLX Flex
Premium protection meets modern design when it comes to our race-ready full-face Race Start DLX Flex. Its aggressive styling makes it ideal for not only the daily commuter, but the weekend canyon chasers that like to go fast. It’s sleek shell design makes it ideal for long motorcycle trips, as a breeze is nothing more than the cool air you ride through without a flinch, and the ProTint™ shield is an absolute game-changer for those days you ride from morning to night, and just-so-happen to forget your clears.
