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 N40-5 Classico - Metal White Nolan N40-5 Classico - Metal White
After trying on an LS2 Verso and one other helmet (no longer available) I chose the Nolan as it was the best fit for me and oozed quality that the others didn't have. I have done a lot of riding with it on and have found it very comfortable in both hot and cold weather. The air vent on the top is easy to use and effective. I wear glasses and this is the first helmet I've had where the drop down sun shade can be used without fouling on my glasses. The sun shade is also easy to use. I ride two scooters, both fitted with windshields, and the helmet is quiet enough not to need ear plugs even at motorway speeds, which is also a first for me. I really hope they make these helmets for a long time because I will definitely buy this model again.

Nolan N40-5 GT ECE 22.06 N-Com - Classic Metal White Nolan N40-5 GT ECE 22.06 N-Com - Classic Metal White
A helmet that you can change according to your needs . A comfortable fit with good visibility a peak you can move up and down to cut out the sun , drop down sun visor and removable chin bar for those hot days. Very pleased with my purchase only slight downside is the wind noise, not excessive but no problem if you wear ear plugs, Recommend.

Nolan X-903 Ultra Carbon Verniciatura Speciale - Carbon / Pearl White / Black Nolan X-903 Ultra Carbon Verniciatura Speciale - Carbon / Pearl White / Black
This helmet has fit perfectly from day 1. The lining is extremely comfortable. Everything works as it should, and it has some interesting features with the magnetic visor. I think for budget carbon helmet it is top quality, and the colour scheme is a great addition as well. The classic d-ring fixing is as good as it needs to be. As a glasses wearer I found the helmet does not ventilate very well with the visor down at standstill, but when you're on the move it seems to work fine. I will likely leave the chin guard at home to help improve ventilation.

Nolan N21 Visor Classico - Matt Black Nolan N21 Visor Classico - Matt Black
Bought for the other half, this helmet is light, well made with good side visibility and more importantly fits well, so highly recommended. Also highly recommended is Sportsbikeshop itself, fantastic service, couldn't ask more of a retailer and the staff at our nearest store in Milton Keynes are top class.

Nolan N60-6 Sport Irido - Matt Black Nolan N60-6 Sport Irido - Matt Black
it’s a good helpmate don’t get me wrong love the look of it and how light wight is is when carrying around when out but it feels cheap from when you open the front vent ( poped out completely be careful) and open/ close the visor it just feels cheap but still a good helmet

Nolan N120-1 Omocromo - Black / Orange / Green Nolan N120-1 Omocromo - Black / Orange / Green
Slightly over sized (im and XL in most other helmets but an L in this helmet)
I was going to get the Shark OXO but later found out Nolan and Shark are sister companies and the 2 helmets share most of the same features I decided to try the Nolan, im glad I did as it was cheaper and also came in better graphics.
I did my CBT where I had the helmet on for around 4.5 hours continuously with absolutely no discomfort. Having the chin bar behind the head seems like such a better idea as it feels more balanced and isn't a wind trap.
