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.

Nolan N100-6 Verniciatura Speciale - Bronze / Black / Grey Nolan N100-6 Verniciatura Speciale - Bronze / Black / Grey
My first premium Nolan. Good value on the Sportsbikeshop offer. I was actually looking for the red and black version but very happy with this colour combination. Only £10 more than the plain white one. It is quiet, at least compared to my previous helmet and all day comfortable from the start. It doesn't feel heavy. The only negative is the fiddly flip front catch but I'm sure I'll get used to that in time.

First, what great service my SBS. Was looking at this helmet for ages and randomly found it elsewhere for much less. SBS matched the price so it was a no-brainer. Sunvisor is great, pre-installed pinlock, added safety features. Noise is a tiny bit more than my HJC but would recommend.

Nolan N70-2 X ECE 22.06 - Classic Flat Black Nolan N70-2 X ECE 22.06 - Classic Flat Black
As my second purchase of the N70-2 X I knew what I was in for. I'm not aware of any other helmet on the market that is this configurable; open face without peak for on the scooter, or full config for adventure riding.
Great integration with the N-COM headset (though these aren't the cheapest) and very comfortable. I think they may have improved the padding on the newer model, as it feels quieter.

Nolan N80-8 N-Com - Rumble Metal Black / White / Red Nolan N80-8 N-Com - Rumble Metal Black / White / Red
Had an N87 for about 6-7 years. I like Nolan's as they fit my head well. Didn't look at any others, went straight to the N80-8, same size, fit exactly as before. Easy choice. Still getting used to the internal visor lowering lever (didn't have that before), do wonder if the mechanism will last?
The very small one-click-up clear visor position is difficult to find, pretty useless and the next click up is a bit high for me. Maybe a 'click' in-between would be better.
Full marks to SBS in all aspects. Price was good for this product

Although the opening mechanism is a bit fiddly, once you get used to it, it’s fine. Comfortable and lightweight.
