There is a moment, when you wear on your helmet, when everything else disappears: traffic fades into the distance, your thoughts slow down, and all that remains is riding.
There is a moment, when you wear on your helmet, when everything else disappears: traffic fades into the distance, your thoughts slow down, and all that remains is riding. At that moment, motorcyclists understand whether that helmet will be a reliable companion on their journey, however short or long, or simply an accessory to wear while riding.
Nolan starts from this important moment to completely redesign the inner linings of the two helmet collections called Nolan X-Series (fibre helmets) and Nolan N-Series (polycarbonate Lexan™ helmets). It does so with the same vision that has guided every project designed in Brembate di Sopra for over fifty years: to transform that moment into an experience of immediate, natural, almost instinctive comfort. Because a safe helmet protects the head, but a comfortable helmet also protects concentration, serenity and the desire to ride.
Nolan’s R&D also focuses on this aspect, seeking to provide every user with the right helmet, because there is no single type of motorcyclist: some use motorcycles to experience the thrill of racing along a track, others want to enjoy the view along a mountain road, while others are busy in city traffic. Nolan designs, develops and manufactures helmets suitable for every need and context, always combining safety and comfort.
Behind this project lies a great deal of hard work, involving research, advanced materials, road testing and listening to those who really live and breathe motorcycling. Nolan has completely revamped the internal structure of its helmets with a specific goal in mind: to guarantee the safety that has always characterised the brand, but adding a higher level of comfort, freshness and a feeling of a ‘perfect fit’.
X-SERIES: RACING COMFORT, UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY
The Nolan X-Series line is designed for those who live motorcycling intensely, from sports enthusiasts to the most demanding travellers. The new liners are designed around the same need that drives every rider/motorcyclist: to feel the helmet as a natural extension of their body.
Nolan X-Series helmets feature an inner lining made from a blend of polyamide and active carbon fibres. This material naturally regulates temperature, wicks away moisture and maintains constant comfort even in the most demanding conditions.
The inner pads, constructed with an open mesh structure, promotes continuous micro-ventilation, while the ability to adjust the fit using the Liner Adjustable Fitting (LAF) system allows to customise it using four removable pads in three different thicknesses (5, 8, 13 mm), shaping the interior to suit your morphology, just as if the helmet were tailor-made for you.
The cheek pads, carefully shaped and reinforced with durable Sakura fabric, offer lateral stability and soft contact with the skin.
The Nolan Emergency Release System (NERS), integrated and almost invisible, ensures that even in the most delicate situations, the helmet can be removed as safely as possible. The result is an interior that gives the rider a feeling of stability and control, even at high speeds, on long days or in the most demanding conditions. Ideal when the road demands precision, presence and responsiveness.
N-SERIES: PRACTICALITY, RIDING PLEASURE AND EVERYDAY COMFORT
The Nolan N-Series line is dedicated to all those who use two-wheeled vehicles: urban scooter riders, travellers of all distances, long-distance commuters. A focus on comfort in a more versatile context respect to that one where the sportiness reigns supreme. The upper lining is made from recycled Italian polyamide, a lightweight, soft, breathable material designed to accompany everyday travel with constant freshness. In the higher-end models, the Liner Positioning Control (LPC) system allows the position of the interior to be adjusted to naturally adapt to the rider’s head, improving stability and the feeling of balance.
The internal pads, which is fully removable and washable, offer softness that withstands time and use; similarly, the cheek pads, made of premium polyester, guarantee a comfortable fit and a pleasant feel.
Even the specific models of Nolan N-Series helmets benefit from the NERS system for safe management in emergency situations. It is comfort that does not distract, disturb or weigh you down: it simply accompanies you. On urban journeys, on ring roads, on provincial roads.
Nolan X-Series and Nolan N-Series helmets are all united by the philosophy that has always guided Nolan: combining protection and riding pleasure. A helmet must be safe, of course. But it must also be a place where you feel comfortable, where you can find the calm to focus solely on the road. Because a calm mind rides better, reacts better and enjoys the motorcycling experience more.
The new Nolan inner liners are just that: a combination of technology and sensation, engineering and intimacy. They are designed to be unnoticeable, to disappear while riding, to become part of the rider and allow them to enjoy every bend, every straight, every kilometre.
