Nolan N100-6 Classico - Metal White Wanted the convenience of a flip up helmet. Grabbed the Nolan at a good price from SBS. No complaints so far, normal size fitted bang on.
Nolan X-1005 Ultra Carbon Gran Tour - Carbon / Red / Blue Great quality helmet, perfect for touring. Flip up system is easy to use and I love the build in sunvisor. Highly recommend this Helmet for its comfort and looks.
Nolan N60-6 Sport Verniciatura Speciale - White / Red / Black Great style. Good price.
Great service. Fantastic quick delivery.
Nolan N100-6 Verniciatura Speciale - Red / Black / Silver Now the, I have a flip helmet i cannot get on with, so I bought this after trying it on in the shop and it was a lovely fit.
Good: opens and shuts well, shade of drop down tinted visor good ( see no reason to fit the free tinted visor). love the paint god, looks classy, interior feels nice., seat belt style buckle works well
Not so good: main visor vibrates a fair bit when open a crack. Ventilation ok but its not been hot yet. Drop down tint visor control not easy to find, may need some practice.
Nolan X-903 Ultra Carbon Puro - Carbon Fibre One of the best helmets I ve ever purchased fits great and looks great to
Nolan N100-6 Verniciatura Speciale - Red / Black / Silver Great quality helmet managed to fit my Cardo spirit hd to the helmet no problems with speakers .40mm speakers fit
Nolan N60-6 Sport Verniciatura Speciale - White / Red / Black I bought this helmet for its styling and also it matches my leathers perfectly. I liked the fact it came with the tinted visor included too.
But that’s where the good points end sadly.
The wind noise from this helmet is deafening, after a few hours riding my head was pounding and ears ringing. Then let’s talk about the restrictions of movement, which is a biggie! The chin of this lid restricts how far you can turn your head making shoulder checks difficult. When you do turn your head at speed the spoiler gets caught in the wind which makes for a pretty good neck workout - if you’re into that kinda thing!! It does however have a wide visor making peripheral vision good.
Inside this helmet is cheaply crafted, the moulded sections dig into your head at the back and the forehead area is just solid with little to no padding only a cover of material which again makes this uncomfortable on long rides.
There are no cut out bits to fit your comms so be prepared to be fiddling around a bit until you can hear your comms and not having them digging into you.
Overall, not great. Looks good for pictures and ok for short, slower paced rides.
