Nolan Helmets

Nolan motorcycle helmets, designed and constructed in Italy

Great companies are born out of great passions. Nolan has always meant "passion for two wheels". The history of Nolan helmets began in 1972 when Lander Nocchi, an entrepreneur in the motorbike and car accessories sector, decided to produce motorcycle helmets that could be lighter and more affordable than those on the market at the time. He purchased, from a company in the United States, an innovative plastic material, Lexan, which was light and versatile, and started producing polycarbonate helmets. In the following 37 years, other important ideas have been put into production, and Nolan helmets have proved to be well known and highly valued products by thousands of customers in more than 70 countries around the globe.

Comfortable Quality Jet or Full Face Helmet

Nolan N120-1 Classico - Black Nolan N120-1 Classico - Black
Obviously fit and comfort is a personal thing, but for me second time out I was riding for over 6 hours and found it extremely comfortable. I have always worn medium helmets and this was a perfect fit.
Helmet weight is reasonable for this type of helmet and was no problem for me on the 6 hour ride.
Quality is good with easy to use controls and a plush lining. For me the real benefit is the ability to easily switch between open or full face - at slow speeds a much prefer to be open face. Changing mode could be done on the move and unlike my Schuberth C4, the visor could be used in open face mode, with the chin bar retracted at the back of the helmet not causing any drag.
Sun visor is easy to operate and quickly retracts with the press of a button - really useful if you ride into a very shady area.
Helmet noise seemed about the same as the Schuberth - I always wear ear plugs so was fine for me.
I fitted the cheapest Nolan intercom system which was a bit fiddly, but Nolan do a pretty good video on the process. For the price the unit works really well for music and satnav (haven't tried the intercom functionality) and the controls on the side of the helmet are not bulky.
Only negative I have (hence only 4 stars) is that in full face mode, the vents do not seem to let in much air. It was getting very stuffy on the motorway and I needed to open the visor to first position to get in more air. Hoping that this is not going to result in steaming up in winter. Can't comment on efficiency of the pinlock, which comes pre-fitted, as the weather has been really warm since I go the helmet.
All in all really happy with the combined purchase of helmet and intercom, which was at an excellent price (sub £300).

Nolan X-552 Ultra Carbon Triplonero - Carbon / Black Nolan X-552 Ultra Carbon Triplonero - Carbon / Black
I had the Nexx Xwed2 carbon pro and tried the Xwed3 carbon, but this helmet is far higher in terms of quality.

The visor system is perfect, easy to swap with the magnetic lever system, no leaks in the rain unlike the Nexx Xwed3 (sent back). It's slightly louder than the xwed2 but this is because the chamber for your ears is larger meaning the sound is better from an intercom you might fit (sena spider in my case). Peak is easily removed and still looks good but it doesn't come with any blanking bolts/plugs, I bought some 6.5mm rubber plugs. Liner is comfy and the adjustment strap for it is a nice feature, it does make the liner squeak a little while walking about for some reason (depends on how far you adjust it). All in all I'm happy with this helmet.

Bought from Leeds SBS specifically for Track use. Awesome lid! Relatively lightweight, good ventilation, great visibility and good aerodynamics. Excellent advice from the team at SBS on fit and sizing. Great value at £170. Top buy.

Nolan X-804 RS Ultra Carbon Puro - Gloss Carbon Nolan X-804 RS Ultra Carbon Puro - Gloss Carbon
The helmet is quite light, which was really important too me. Good ventilation and super comfy to wear. Recently done around 5-6 hours of riding in one day and have no complaints. Bought it at really good price, so overall very happy with the purchase.
