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.

I bought this to replace a Nolan N100-5 which I dropped while touring - but had been so impressed with that I decided to get a Nolan as replacement. Although it’s carbon it’s no lighter than the previous helmet, but it is very well constructed and easy to fit an intercom. At the price from Sportsbikeshop it was an easy decision to buy this, and it has passed the higher safety standard.

I'm really happy with this helmet. The helmet looks even better in person than it does in the photos. The gloss carbon finish is beautiful and the overall quality feels excellent.

Comfort wise is perfect. It was a little tight (Medium size) when I first tried it on, but after gently massaging the cheek pads and wearing it for a few rides, it fitted perfectly. Now it feels very secure without being uncomfortable.

I was also surprised by how quiet it is for a sporty helmet. It's obviously not a touring helmet, but wind noise is very reasonable, especially at motorway speeds.

Overall, I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight, comfortable and premium-looking helmet. price was excellent too

As always, Sportsbikeshop provided outstanding service. Fast delivery, great communication and an excellent buying experience from start to finish.

Fit is fantastic, medium oval shape. Removable foam section from cheek pads is a godsend for glasses wearers like myself. No more fighting and bending glasses legs. Finish is top tier. Fairing being removable suits if you wear a backpack or if you simply don’t have an aero hump for it to sync up with.

The finish on this carbon helmet is unmatched. And it’s so comfortable! After about an hour trying on different helmets in the store in Leeds this was the Cinderella shoe for me.

Was never really drawn to Nolan but after a while the good looks made me buy one and I can without a doubt say it’s been the best helmet I’ve owned. Super comfortable and light weight whilst still feeling solid and high quality. Pretty much no wind drag at higher speed and stays surprisingly quiet for a carbon race helmet. 10/10 would recommend.
