The NEXX Y.10 is an urban open-face helmet built for riders who value a broad, open feel, practical sun protection and clean everyday styling. Its Polyfusion shell, integrated sun visor and removable lining make it a useful option for city commutes and shorter road journeys where visibility and convenience matter.
Urban styling with a compact Polyfusion shell
NEXX builds the Y.10 using its Polyfusion shell technology, designed to combine a compact profile with high impact resistance. The model is offered in two shell sizes to help accommodate its XXS–L and XL–XXL size ranges. A proper fit still depends on your head shape and measurements, so check the size chart and try the helmet on where possible.
A wide visor and an integrated sun visor
The Y.10’s wide main visor creates an open, airy feeling that suits urban riding. For bright conditions, its integrated light-tinted sun visor can be moved up or down manually using the grip on the edge of the lens. It is designed to help reduce intense sunlight and glare; always choose a safe speed and riding position for the conditions, and check the exact version for the supplied visor specification.
Ventilation for changing city conditions
An active ventilation system helps manage the climate inside the helmet. Selected versions feature an adjustable top vent with a two-level mechanism, allowing riders to control incoming airflow. Vent details can vary by version, so check the exact colourway and specification before ordering.
Comfort details for everyday use
The interior padding uses breathable black fabric and is fully removable for cleaning. NEXX also specifies an antibacterial and anti-sweat treatment. The helmet’s shape is designed with glasses wearers in mind, while a micrometric buckle makes fastening and releasing the chin strap straightforward. Always fasten and adjust the strap securely before every ride.
Prepared for a universal communication system
The Y.10 is prepared to accommodate universal communication systems with audio sets up to 45 mm, according to NEXX. Check the dimensions and mounting requirements of your chosen intercom before purchasing, and ensure installation does not interfere with the helmet’s fit or protective structure.
Safety approval: check the label on your helmet
NEXX lists the Y.10 with ECE 22.06 approval and also shows FMVSS No. 218 (DOT) and NBR 7471:2015 in its published specifications. Approval markings and legal requirements can differ by market, so confirm the label on the exact helmet you intend to buy and make sure it is approved for use where you ride.
Is the NEXX Y.10 right for you?
If you want an open-face helmet for urban mobility, the Y.10 combines a wide visor, an integrated sun visor, removable washable padding and practical everyday features. Before choosing, compare colour options, confirm your size, check the ventilation and visor specification for that version, and verify the approval marking and intercom fit.
