The NEXX X.RALLY is built for riders who want a lightweight, highly adaptable helmet for hard enduro, off-road and adventure riding. NEXX positions the X.RALLY around low weight, high airflow and the ability to change configuration depending on the terrain and riding conditions.
With an X-PRO Carbon shell, a quoted weight of 1350g +/- 50g, ECE 22.06 approval and three shell sizes, the X.RALLY is designed to deliver a premium combination of protection, ventilation and versatility. View the official NEXX X.RALLY specifications
Designed Around Hard Enduro Riding
NEXX describes the X.RALLY as purpose-built for hard enduro, with the design focused on control, comfort, ventilation and compatibility with off-road goggles. Its adventure styling is not simply cosmetic: the peak, visor, ventilation and accessory system are designed to let riders adapt the helmet to different riding environments.
Three Ways to Configure the X.RALLY
One of the X.RALLY's standout features is its adaptable setup. NEXX describes three riding modes: Dual Sport with the visor and winter chin ventilation, Off-Road with enhanced airflow and goggles, and On-Road with a peak-free configuration.
The peak can be removed without tools and can be adjusted through multiple positions. NEXX also supplies a peak extender, spare peak screws and street covers, making it easier to change the helmet's setup when a ride moves between road and dirt.
X-PRO Carbon Construction
The premium X.RALLY versions use NEXX's X-PRO Carbon shell technology. NEXX quotes a weight of 1350g +/- 50g and uses three shell sizes across the XXS to XXXL range: XXS-S, M-L and XL-XXXL.
The shell is paired with an anti-vibration EPS system and X-Foam bumpers covering the top and chin areas. These lightweight EPP foam bumpers are intended to help absorb impact energy around the lower edge of the helmet.
Ventilation Built for Tough Conditions
Adventure and enduro riding can generate considerable heat, dust and exertion, so ventilation is a major part of the X.RALLY specification. NEXX lists nine air inlets and six exhaust outlets, together with cheek-pad ventilation, a Mid Air Chamber and the Air Cumbs Cooling Chamber.
The design also includes a removable breath guard and a winter chin filter. This allows riders to tailor airflow according to temperature, terrain and riding style rather than relying on one fixed ventilation arrangement.
Recoil Visor System and Anti-Fog Protection
The X.RALLY uses NEXX's Recoil Visor System. Spring-loaded base plates help tension the visor against the dual-lip window beading for a secure seal, while the visor mechanism operates independently from the peak mounting system.
X-PRO Carbon versions include a Pinlock 200 XLT MaxVision anti-fog lens, along with a clear visor and a second photochromic shield. The photochromic option is designed to adjust its tint according to changing light conditions.
Comfort and Interior Design
Inside, the X.RALLY uses a removable and washable liner made with NEXX X-Mart Dry fabrics. The specialised 3D mesh construction is designed to encourage airflow and breathability while helping protect the rider from dust and sand.
The X-Hydro cheek pads on the X-PRO Carbon versions include smart straps designed to help secure a hydration bladder tube and mouthpiece. The cheek pads also feature ventilation openings to contribute to the overall cooling system.
Safety and Rider-Focused Features
The X.RALLY carries ECE 22.06 approval and is also listed by NEXX with FMVSS No.218 (DOT), NBR7471:2015, GB811:2022 (CCC) and FIM Racing FRHPhe-02 approvals on the X-PRO Carbon specification.
The Pearaluman double-D ring uses an aluminium-magnesium alloy, while the X-Lock magnetic button helps secure the loose end of the chin strap. The helmet also includes removable chin-strap covers and emergency-release features in the cheek pads.
Action Camera and Communication Ready
The X.RALLY is designed with modern adventure riders in mind. It includes action-camera mounting points for the top, side and chin, plus a dedicated POV kit with a reversible chin mount.
Universal intercom systems can also be integrated using the helmet's ear pockets and dedicated clamp-mount area, giving riders flexibility when choosing their communication system.

Who Is the NEXX X.RALLY For?
The X.RALLY makes the most sense for riders who want a serious adventure helmet with a strong off-road bias. Its low quoted weight, extensive ventilation, goggle compatibility and adaptable configurations make it particularly suited to hard enduro and technical trail riding, while the visor and street configuration give it useful road-riding flexibility.
Final Thoughts
The NEXX X.RALLY is an unusually versatile adventure helmet. The X-PRO Carbon construction keeps the quoted weight to around 1350g, while the nine-inlet/six-outlet ventilation system, adaptable peak and visor arrangement, Pinlock-equipped visor system and camera-ready design give it a specification aimed squarely at demanding adventure riders.
If you want an adventure helmet that can be configured for dirt, dual-sport and road use rather than being locked into one setup, the X.RALLY deserves a close look.
