Nolan motorcycle helmets at Moto Central span road, sport, touring, adventure and urban riding. The collection includes carbon-fibre XSeries full-face helmets, polycarbonate road models, conventional flip-up and flip-back designs, configurable adventure helmets and compact open-face options.
Nolan was founded in Italy in 1972, but the brand name alone does not tell you which helmet will suit your riding. Start with helmet type and fit, then compare the exact model generation, approval, visor arrangement and communication compatibility.
Nolan presents the X-804 RS as an XSeries carbon full-face helmet for performance riding on road and track. Compare shell size, visor system, ventilation, retention and any circuit requirements against your intended use.
These are full-face road families with different positioning and details. N60-6 has a contemporary sports-influenced design, N60-6 Sport adds a stronger visual and aerodynamic emphasis, and N80-8 is Nolan's broader full-face road platform. Features still vary by exact version.
N100-6 follows a conventional flip-up layout. N120-1 is Nolan's first flip-back design, rotating the chin section towards the rear. Compare mechanism, approved riding modes, balance when open, visor system and control operation.
N70-2 X combines removable components to support different adventure and road arrangements. Check which combinations of chin bar, visor and peak are approved for the exact generation, and refit every part according to the manual.
Nolan's wider modular range includes N90-3 alongside the newer N100 and N120 families. Similar-looking model names can use different visors, Pinlock inserts, interiors and N-Com systems, so generation matching is essential.
Open-face Nolan models suit riders who prioritise a broad field of view and compact urban format. They do not provide the same facial enclosure as a full-face helmet, so choose with a clear understanding of coverage and approval.
Check the sewn or printed homologation label and the user manual supplied with the exact helmet. For modular and convertible designs, P, J or P/J markings identify the approved protective-chin-bar and open-face modes. Do not infer approval from another Nolan generation or from the way the chin section moves.
Decide first whether your priority is full-face enclosure, touring convenience, open-face simplicity or multi-configuration adventure use. Then compare the practical details: visor aperture, sun visor where fitted, ventilation, closure, spectacle accommodation, lining care and the space available for an approved communication system.
Finish names such as Classico, Classico Nobile, Verniciatura Speciale and graphic names normally identify colour or decoration, not a different core helmet type. The model code and generation are the important compatibility references. N100-6 parts should not be assumed to fit N100-5, and the N70-2 X 06 must be distinguished from earlier versions.
If you are buying for track use, check the organiser's current rules before ordering. A road-approved performance helmet is not automatically accepted by every circuit or event, and fastener or approval requirements may differ.
Nolan's guidance starts with head circumference measured at the widest point, approximately 2 cm above the eyebrows. Use that number with the size chart for the exact model. A chart narrows the choice, but it cannot account fully for individual head shape or how two helmet interiors distribute pressure.
A new helmet should feel evenly snug around the whole head without a sharp pressure point. With the retention system securely fastened, try to roll the helmet forward and rotate it side to side. Excess movement, the lining sliding independently over the head or easy roll-off indicates the fit needs reassessment.
Wear the helmet indoors for long enough to identify pressure, and test it with the glasses or approved communication components you intend to use. Interior parts and cheek-pad thicknesses are model-specific; use only compatible Nolan components and never cut the energy-absorbing liner.
Nolan publishes visor compatibility by model. Some visors are shared between specified families, while others are divided by shell size or generation. Match the full visor or Pinlock reference to the helmet label rather than relying on appearance.
The same caution applies to N-Com. A helmet may be prepared for a communication system, but that does not mean every N-Com unit fits it or that all installation parts are included. Use Nolan's current compatibility information for the exact helmet and avoid modifying the shell or EPS liner.
Moto Central's Nolan collection keeps helmets separate from visor, intercom and spare-part results, so you can compare the actual helmet families without accessories crowding the page. The range covers many sizes, colours and generations, and our Leicestershire showroom gives riders the option to compare fit in person.
For more preparation before choosing, read our motorcycle helmet sizing guide. You can also compare full-face helmets, flip-up helmets and adventure helmets across other brands.
Model names and generations matter for every replacement part. Browse motorcycle intercoms and helmet padding, then confirm compatibility before fitting.
Both are modular families, but N100-6 uses a conventional front flip-up arrangement while N120-1 is Nolan's flip-back design. Compare their exact approval, mechanism and fit.
Only when the exact helmet is approved for that mode and used as the manual specifies. Check its P, J or P/J marking.
Sometimes Nolan lists shared compatibility, but never assume. Match the visor reference, helmet model, generation and any shell-size distinction.
No fit can be guaranteed from the brand alone. Measure first, use the exact model chart and assess even pressure and stability on your own head.
