Moto-3 Bell Helmet
From $450 (AUD)
40 Years ago, Bell came out with the Bell Moto 3 design and changed the look of off-road racing forever. With its sleek design, secure 5 strap visor and lightweight outer shell, the Moto 3 Helmet is one of the most recognisable and iconic helmets in the history of motorcycling and it's not hardy to see why. In fact you can still find battered old versions on eBay at insanely high collectable prices.
Recently, Bell re-released the Bell Moto-3 for the modern rider. The helmet features a lightweight Fiberglass composite shell offering 21st century ECE protection while the removable/washable microsuede liner brings modern convenience. With a hefty price tag, these helmets don't come cheap. But what price are you going to put on safety? If you've got a generous budget and want to go that extra mile to make your gift more personal, there is also an option to design your own helmet online in 3D.
