Shoei NXR 2 - Nocturne TC5

For me, this helmet is comfortable, light, well-ventilated and quieter than I expected, with a good field of view through the visor, which I can crack open slightly, or to any of the clearly defined steps, as required. To my surprise, I quickly adjusted to the central visor tab and can easily press the catch and open it with just my forefinger. The strap fastens with a double D ring, which I prefer. It is proving to be not only a fine replacement, but even an improvement on my beloved Shoei Ryd which I used beyond its recommended life span.

Helmet feels very comfortable, almost you dont hear anything, and is very light, you dont feel on your header, i order a M, but is a little bit to thigt, in rest very good.

The helmet is comfortable. The vents in this hot weather work well for around the top of your head and face without it being noisy. It is a good idea that you are able to close the visor leaving a small gap without it being closed fully. The NXR looks good too.

Excellent fit. Light weight. Delivered on time and well wrapped no problems

The helmet is perfect, but the matt finish is easy to scratch. I'd rather buy a glossy one.

This helmet is really comfortable and it’s so light you hardly feel it, great ventilation as well, I highly recommend this lid, now time to do some serious touring…

Absolutely awesome helmet. It’s been a few years since I last had a Shoei helmet and I’m so glad I headed back to the brand. Perfect fit and very quiet at speed. Looks the dogs too. Highly recommend 5?

I bought the NXR 2 to replace my old XR1100 as the lining had perished and parts were no longer available. Comparing against that XR1100 which was a bit more race focussed:
Noise - It's definitely quieter than the XR1100
Ventilation - Much better and kept my head nicely chilled today (30 degrees C)
Weight - Alledgedly it's only 100 grams lighter than my previous helmet but it feels much lighter. It must be better shaped as I'm not feeling any wind pressure while riding at speed.
Visor - A bit more fiddly to swap than the old one but it seals well and locks shut.

This helmet is very high quality, the visor has so many notched positions and the vents are super easy to use with gloves, the paint finish is superb and I’m simply in love with it now.

Searched for a quality helmet to match my new bike and this one was perfect !
Swift delivery and service.
Very pleased with how it feels and looks but bike arrives on Thursday so will be out and about
Thank you

I like the fit of the shoei nxr2 must have the right head shape as I also have a shoei Jo both helmets are size large the nxr2 is tighter to get on but that's to be expected with a full face compared to an open face, but once my head pops in it's a perfect fit just like the Jo. The vents work very well and have two open settings and feel very robust, the pinlock is included and the visor is easy to remove and replace once you get the nack. The helmet in my opinion is nice and quiet, even with the visor cracked on the first setting which is just right even at speed on a hot day. And the Matt blue goes very nicely with the honda matt jeans matalic of my tank.

I've used Schuberth Flip helmets for over 15 years, but needed something lighter due to neck issues. 1st ride was an 1,800 mile tour of France in 35' heat. The helmet excelled, ventillation was good, fit was excellent and so light I didnt know it was on my head. Fitting a cardo that I ordered at the same time was a breeze. The service from sportsbike shop was excellent as always.

The Shoei NXR2 is a brilliant upgrade to the original NXR, with improved safety features and an impressive 5-star SHARP safety rating. It’s incredibly comfortable to wear, feels slightly lighter than the previous model, and offers good wind noise management, making it easy and comfortable to listen to music on longer rides if that’s something you enjoy.

The overall quality and finish are exactly what you’d expect from Shoei, with excellent attention to detail throughout. The fit is superb, and the helmet feels secure without compromising on comfort. I also absolutely love the graphics on this one—they really stand out and give the helmet a premium look.

Overall, the NXR2 is a fantastic helmet that combines safety, comfort, and great styling. Highly recommended.

Just to add that it comes with a clear visor. I bought a separate photochromic visor as you can see on pictures

Extremely comfortable, well built, easy to fit comms due to speaker pockets, glasses slide in with no issues, good ventilation.... Perfect! :-)
