Verified Customer Reviews for Nolan N80-8 Verniciatura Speciale
Quality product - Gold standard service
09 Sep 2025 by Richo
Although I've only had the Nolan N80-8 Classico helmet a couple of weeks I am very pleased with it so far. I previously had a Shoei Raid II in medium and so got the Nolan as a mid range good quality alternative, again in medium and it fits really well, a bit tight to get on but once on a nice snug fit. No adverse wind noise, good clear visibility and all the extras you expect on a modern helmet eg sun visor. Amazing service - bought another make and style initially and returned the same day. I reordered on that same day and received my alternative choice the next day and was refunded the sum for my first purchase within 3 days of the 1st helmet being received by SBS. Service at it's best! Thank you

Built in Lexan™, the most durable polycarbonate on the market, the N80-8 redefines excellence with its bold and modern design. Style merges with performance, in every technical detail, from the shell to the strategically positioned air intakes, Nolan's R&D experts have defined the right answer to the riders' needs. The N80-8 will offer a good concentrate of safety, comfort and ventilation.
AirBooster Technology
Nolan's exclusive "AirBooster Technology" upper system ensures optimal ventilation in the areas where riders need it most.
The air flow arriving from the upper air intake is guided and directed to the critical areas, to prevent any dispersion and to guarantee maximum comfort, even in extreme riding conditions.
LPC - Liner Positioning
This system allows the position of the cap to be adjusted, which in turn allows the helmet to be adjusted for different head shapes and sizes.
This ensures a comfortable and secure fit for all riders.
NERS - Nolan Emergency Release System
The NERS allows emergency teams to remove the cheek pads from the helmet while it is still being worn by the motorcyclist.
By simply pulling the red tapes attached to the front of the pads, the NERS ensures quick and efficient access in emergency situations.
EA - Eyewear Adaptive
This system is designed to provide comfort for glasses wearers. It creates a space in the cheek pads for eyeglass temples, making it quick and easy to put on and take off your glasses.
The cheek pads are reversible, so you can return them to their original configuration if you no longer need the space for your glasses.
The cheek pads also have expanded foam inner padding that can be removed from the fabric covering the easy washing.
Microlock² Retention System
Nolan's Microlock² Retention System features a double lever design with micrometric adjustment.
It consists of a thermoplastic ergonomic opening lever and an aluminium toothed holding lever. The toothed lever releases the micrometric strip, ensuring that the chin strap can only be opened with a broad rotation of the opening lever. This system minimizes the possibility of unintentional opening.
