Collection: Nolan

Nolan is an Italian helmet manufacturer founded in 1972 in Bergamo, Italy, that has built a strong reputation for producing high-quality, innovative helmets at more accessible price points than ultra-premium brands while maintaining rigorous safety standards and advanced features. The company is part of the Nolangroup, which also owns X-Lite (their premium performance line) and Grex (adventure-focused helmets), giving them a comprehensive range across different market segments. Nolan is particularly well-known for pioneering and perfecting modular (flip-up) helmet technology, with their N-Com series offering some of the most refined and reliable flip-front mechanisms in the industry—models like the N100-5 and N90-3 are highly regarded for their secure locking systems, P/J homologation (approved for use in both full-face and open-face configurations), and smooth operation even with gloves. Their product lineup includes full-face helmets like the N87 and N60-6 for sport/street riding, touring-focused models with integrated sun visors and excellent noise reduction, and adventure helmets under the Grex and N70-2 lines. Nolan helmets feature their proprietary Lexan polycarbonate shells or fiberglass composite construction depending on the model, Pinlock-ready visors, N-Com Bluetooth integration (either built-in or preparation for add-on systems), excellent ventilation systems, and thoughtful details like microlock retention systems and emergency quick-release cheek pads. While positioned below ultra-premium brands like Shoei, Arai, and Schuberth, Nolan offers exceptional value with DOT, ECE, and often multiple safety certifications, comfortable fit for a wide range of head shapes (particularly oval profiles common in European riders), and build quality that punches above its price point, making them a popular choice for riders who want solid protection, modern features like integrated sun visors and Bluetooth readiness, and reliable modular functionality without the flagship brand premium.
