This is demonstrated at the end of the video. One more thing about the clear face shield — it has a single detent that allows it to open slightly for defogging, then nothing, then another detent that allows it to remain open.
The flip-up visor rotates smoothly and feels solid. It should — the mechanism that makes it work looks like it was taken from a bank vault. This surely adds to the weight, but the upside is the solid feel. The helmet has metal bars in the shell and metal latches in the flip-up visor to hold everything securely, so no worries there see photo. The N comes with an internal sun visor that operates with a simple slider switch on the left side of the helmet. This is the problem I described in my introduction, so not much more to say.
The N is too heavy at grams, or 4 lbs. The mass is well balanced but can definitely be felt when the head swings side to side. It has a serrated tab that fits into the buckle mechanism like a ratchet, and it releases quickly. Give us the plain, old, simple, ultra-light-weight, elegant and infinitely adjustable double D-ring please. Nolan has an array of replacement parts, including anti-fog inserts, different colored internal sun shades and more. This N meets ECE Nothing against Nolan, who have a very nice product with the N, but I no longer find an advantage to wearing a flip-up and I see only the compromises.
Or how about 6 lbs? Carrying all that weight on your neck and getting buffeted around on a motorcycle will definitely cause the neck muscles to tire more quickly. Even moving the head back and forth for over-the-shoulder checks gets tiresome with a heavy helmet like the N, because the rider has to get the mass moving and then quickly stop it again.
Putting on over 20, road miles last year, we really gave these helmets the test from super high temperatures to freezing cold weather…yes it does get cold in the Arizona desert! Positives: We have been moderately pleased with the performance of the helmets. They are well made and the finish has remained intact even with a bazillion bugs cleaned off the surface. Face shield locks into place easily and the clear visor locks into several positions allowing you to flip it up all the way or barely crack it open for some air flow.
The retractable sun visor works fabulous and eliminated the need for sunglasses. We did use the fog protection liners on the clear visor last winter and they did exactly as they were supposed to. The ratchet locking device on the chin strap works great and is so easy to use compared to D-link locking rings. I wish all helmet manufacturers would go to this locking mechanism. Negatives: I must have a large head stuffing it into the XL size but there is very little room for the microphone when the face shield is pulled down.
It is smashed against my mouth causing me to suffer with this for a long time. The air vents are more for looks than supplying air to your head. The lower air vents on both helmets stopped opening when you slide the button. Conclusion: Overall, the Nolan N helmets have worked well for us.
Although, I have moved to another helmet due to the microphone issue. Would suggest trying it on with a microphone installed before buying if you use communication. Sold it after using 2 days based on my own experiences. Positive side: well built, good materials, very good protection against fog even under 10 Celsius, with fully closed visor, good comfort. I sold it because of the noise levels.
The ambient noises such as noise of the engine are suppressed quiet well, but the wind noise is very loud. In the shop I was told that the type of the bike is also important. I have a Honda CBF with touring windshield. Also, almost all motorcycles with a windscreen will have a lot of noise. The wind coming off the windscreen can cause a lot of turbulence, which causes noise.
We have found that as long as you have a small windscreen to take some of the air off your chest, and the helmet is up in the undisturbed air, the noise levels can drop dramatically. Try taking it off and going for a ride and see what happens.
Perhaps you need a bike without a windscreen! Do I just have a dud, or have you heard about this happening with other Ns? Enjoy your in-depth reviews of bike related products. I am in the UK, ride all year round, and have recently bought an N after 4 happy years using a Caberg Justissimo review. I find the Nolan to be well ahead in terms of fit and comfort compared to the old Caberg.
I find the Nolan to be quieter than my old Caberg. The anti-fog insert covers the entire field of view and works, and is one of the main reasons I bought the helmet. Caberg please take note! The top ventilation on the Nolan is excellent. I can feel a stream of cooling air over my scalp. The visor has detents to all positions. The helmet is P and J rated so you can legally ride with the flip-front up. I wear specs and the Nolan allows me to put them on with the helmet fitted.
This was not possible with a Caberg Sintesi review I tried. Overall I am extremely pleased with it, would not hesitate in recommending one, and look forward to many happy miles wearing it. I also noted some of the responses. I felt I would like to add a couple of things. Firstly, the person that found the chin buckle too tight: You are supposed to adjust the strap first to get into the range of adjustment for the micro lock portion. I purchased this helmet yesterday January 30, , along with the electronics to fit into it.
I presently own an NE, N with the electronics , and now the N Also, I noted that those detents hold the visor much more tightly than my does. I believe it would take a very strong and sudden blast of wind to dislodge it. I have also installed the electronics into both my and my Most notable is better sound deadening in the Once the cheek pads are properly prepared, a piece of foam gets Velcro-ed back into the area that your ear fits into, leaving only a circular hole over the speaker for the sound to come through.
On the , there was simply a plastic piece that held the speaker that fit against the shell, and then was covered by the cheek pad. There was no sound deadening material, other than the speaker itself , between you and the outer shell. Since it is winter here, I cannot comment on any other factors such as the venting or the tint of the sun visor. It fits the same as both my old helmets.
None of my Nolans have ever felt like they needed modification in the noggin area, unlike the HJC Symax that I had, which left me with a bright red spot in the middle of my forehead in a very short time, and a headache.
As for modular vs non-modular, well, to each his own I say. Everything is a compromise in one way or another. To me, what I like [about a modular] far outweighs the bad and I am willing to accept that. Others will feel differently. I should also note that they claim the sun shield provides the same level of eye protection that the face shield provides, if I understood correctly.
I cannot find this design on their website. This becomes important when making stops running errands around town. The ratcheting strap for me is superior to the D-ring. Also my chin touched the front of the inside of the helmet. I have gone back to a Shoei full-face at this time for touring. I am not able to pull the flip-up on over my when wearing glasses, so I have to put the helmet on first and then fit the glasses anyway. I find this easier to do with full-face helmets, especially with the thin wire-framed glasses that are common today.
Also, we often get emails from riders saying that the helmets with a ratchet type connector is easier to remove when wearing gloves. Feeling like a change, I trundled off to my local luckily as I live in the country dealer and he let me try the N Nevertheless, I took the helmet out and, initially it felt comfortable although I was aware of more wind-noise at low speeds that the N I suppose I was in the frame of mind that says the benefits outweigh the pitfalls so I took the helmet expecting to get used to the new feeling and sound.
I even added the Bluetooth kit as I was convinced that this decision would be correct. Within an hour of riding, my ears hurt, the road noise was unbearable, the cold drafts from around the helmet gave me a headache and the high pitched wind noise from the sides made the journey a nightmare. I spent the next few days trying to rectify the problems with the help of the dealer and tried various neck warmers, changes to the cheek pads you can get different sizes and blocking of the top vents with foam.
After a week of dreading the journey, I finally gave up. In short, the N is so very much quieter, despite the external sun visor. I really struggle to see how my experience is so contradictory to others who are satisfied. Thank you. I appreciate your thorough and detailed review and pics. I ordered through the local Suzuki dealer, …, with the understanding that if the helmet did not fit they would take it back. The drop-down internal sun visor did not function right from the box so I returned it and they ordered another.
On the second the chin strap would not fasten without causing red markings on my throat and jaws within 30 minutes of wear. My chin touched the front drop bar and there was marked pain and redness to my forehead.
Of course I mentioned that their employee had assured me they would take it back if it did not fit. I was told the employee had been fired in the interim between order and final delivery. Nevertheless I returned as it was useless to me. On the plus side I loved the Cherry Wine and other color selections and the clear coat.
You advise understandably that one should try a helmet on before purchase. I agree, but how when you are in a rural setting with poor selection?
I have washed the liner a few times and replaced the face shield twice now due to scratches from road debris, etc.
At the time I bought it, it was the only helmet that had integrated Bluetooth state side which is why I bought it. I have had many Bluetooth devices and love my gadgets. So, the Bluetooth system in the Nolan has shown itself to me to be very reliable. I use it to stream music from my phone while riding and have even received a few phone calls while riding with it. Music paused and resumed after the phone calls with no problems. The helmet even has some AVRCP abilities can pause, resume and skip forward and backward through music files.
The only problem I had with the helmet was that the speakers that come with their kit are weak, but that was fixed with a soldering iron and a good pair of headphone speakers I bought online. It made a very big difference in sound quality. I have heard that they are using different speakers now but I have yet to confirm this, so their quality may have improved in that area. Fit: I have an Arai Vector intermediate Oval that fits me like a glove, love it. This Nolan fits me very well and has been worn for hours with no hot spots.
I had a Shoei Multitec for a few months, great helmet by the way, but due to its roundness, it did not fit me very well and drove me nuts sold it and bought the Nolan. The guards, even though they know me by name, must visually see my face and touch my ID card at each check point. The liner and cheek pads remove easily for cleaning and rinsing the sweat out! Now I consider it to be the single, best, most effective piece of motorcycling equipment I own. I picked it up out of curiosity.
I had previously owned a Nolan N All your fresh air comes to you via your neckline. I know this to be true. As I said, I owned one of these old pigs! Feels like you have to have a round, balloon-ish head to fit into their helmets. NASA makes helmets with less weight and robustness for their astronauts! This has to be the roundest helmet I had ever owned. Like a bad sci-fi space helmet. They give you some nice things and counter them with deal-breakingly bad crap! Case in point; I happen to actually love the quick connect chinstrap that Nolan uses.
This should be industry standard IMO. Wow, Nolan finally put the sun shade inside! Look at that flex you show on your video! Someone said to they use the flip-up take pictures? Oh Pu-LEEEZ… If you get off your bike to get your camera, the quick release on the chinstrap is the first thing I would do and take that heavy-ass helmet off my sweaty head! Is he taking pictures with his left hand while riding in traffic?
They have the best fit for neutral to oval heads, not bulbous, not overly heavy, and the smoothest gliding flip-up mechanism on the market, not to mention the best internal sun visor.
You reviewed the Trip and no one in the U. If you look on the Caberg webpage they even have some nice graphics to offer, IF we could get them! If ever a helmet made a rider look like a bobblehead, or deep sea diver, this is the one! Looks to me like that cheap plastic door for the comm device is begging to fall off.
