Great Quality Helmet
10 Dec 2025 by Simon P
After many years wearing Shoei, they have become way too expensive in my view so I was looking for an alternative and I think I've found it. The quality and build is fabulous with some really neat features. Visor is pre fitted with what I believe is Nolans own version of a Pinlock, plus the box includes a dark race visor. Feels very comfortable. It's a bit heavier than I was expecting but it's actually the same weight as Shoei GT Air 3, consequence of 22-06 safety standards I suppose. Not yet used on road as weather has been poor so cannot comment of that yet.

Light and comfortable

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.

Great helmet
15 Oct 2025 by Ian
Great service by Sportsbikeshop as usual, ordered a Medium and a Large to be delivered to my local store next day, tried them both on to find the best fit. The helmet looks great, fits great, little wind noise, and came with a race visor as well. Very happy with purchase.

Brilliant Helmet
22 Sep 2025 by Graham L
The helmet is so light & quiet. Really comfortable from the off, sun visor works great. Vents allow lots of air through to your head & visor. I have ridden in strong winds on my naked sports bike, & no movement from the helmet what so ever. Vision out of the helmet is amazing, sides & rear. Well recommended.

Very comfortable
17 Jun 2025 by D C
The helmet feels light but solid, and the fit is snug without being tight. The magnetic quick-release visor system is one of my favourite features; it makes switching visors super fast and hassle-free. Ventilation is strong, keeping things cool even on warmer rides, and the internal sun visor drops down smoothly without pressing on my nose like others I’ve tried.
The liner is comfortable, breathable, and easy to adjust. I also like how wide the field of vision is, and the included Pinlock does a solid job preventing fog.
If I had to point out one downside, it’s that wind noise at higher speeds is a bit more noticeable than on some bulkier touring helmets. Not a deal-breaker for me, but something to keep in mind.
Overall, really happy with the Nolan X‑903. It strikes a good balance between comfort, features, and protection.

As good as an Arai
11 Apr 2025 by Jim
After 30 years of wearing Arai's I wanted a drop down visor. I've always found other helmets didn't have the plush, quality feel and fit of an Arai when you put them on your head. The Nolan runs is pretty much there. Can't fault it so far and the drop down visor is a gamechanger after years of using sunglasses.
