The Bell TX501 is a modern open-face motorcycle helmet inspired by Bell’s original 500-TX silhouette. Moto Central’s collection brings together ECE 22.06 solid, Classic, Sprint and Rally colourways, alongside model-specific replacement internal sun shields.
A fibreglass-composite shell, multi-density EPS, four shell sizes and an integrated Class 1 optics sun shield give the TX501 a more developed specification than a basic open-face lid. The format still leaves the face and chin exposed, so it suits riders who understand that balance between an open riding experience and reduced coverage.
The TX501 covers the crown, sides and rear of the head but has no chin bar. Consider wind, rain, insects and road debris, and add suitable eye protection for the conditions.
The internal Class 1 optics shield drops down when needed and can be replaced with compatible clear, smoke or iridium options. It is not a substitute for a sealed outer visor.
Bell uses four shell and EPS sizes to reduce unnecessary bulk across the size range. Always start with a head measurement and the TX501 chart rather than assuming the same Bell size as another model.
Velocity Flow ventilation manages airflow through the helmet, while the interior is designed to accommodate compatible communication equipment. Check speaker depth before fitting.
Most products in this collection are complete TX501 helmets, but several listings are replacement internal drop-down shields only. Read the product title and image carefully: clear, smoke, dark-smoke and iridium shield listings do not include a helmet.
If you are replacing a shield, confirm the TX501 model name and part description. Similar-looking Bell shields for Custom 500, Bullitt or other open-face helmets are not automatically interchangeable.
Road use and light conditions: the clear internal shield is the most versatile option. Dark and iridium tints are intended for brighter conditions; check the product marking and current UK requirements before road use, and carry a suitable clear option when light may fade.
Moto Central presents the ECE 22.06 helmets and model-specific replacement shields in one collection, with UK support for sizing and compatibility. Clear product naming makes it easier to distinguish a complete helmet from a replacement lens before you order.
The current helmet titles specify ECE 22.06. Confirm the approval label inside the exact helmet when it arrives.
Bell states that the ECE 22.06 TX501 is supplied with a Class 1 drop-down shield and an extra dark version, but check the individual Moto Central listing and box contents.
The TX501 is designed with communication compatibility. Check the chosen unit’s speaker dimensions and mount before installation.
It should sit level, feel evenly snug and remain stable as you move your head. The cheek area will settle slightly with use, but the crown should not have a sharp pressure point.
