Nolan Helmets was founded in Italy in 1973. The Nolan Group now manufactures and distributes Nolan, X-Lite and Grex helmet brands - all manufactured in Italy. Nolan and X-Lite cover the mid to high end of the market while Grex are a lower priced helmet range targeting newer riders (presumably aimed at stopping the tide of young scooter riders in Italy who like to ride helmetless - often via A&E). Nolan and X-Lite produce quality helmets that are used by some of the top MotoGp and WSB riders - including Danillo Petrucci and Chas Davies. Nolan Group helmets are regularly in our top 10 safest helmet brands lists - so are a brand with an excellent reputation for safety. You'll find all our Nolan helmet reviews on this page (also see our X-Lite page).

Nolan N90-3 Modular Motorcycle Helmet Review. Italian helmet fettlers, Nolan, have been making the N90 line of helmets for quite a while now. And the Nolan N90-3 is the (suprise surprise) third version of the helmet that originated back in 2010. It's their entry-level do-everything modular helmet that evolved from the...

Nolan N21 and N21 Visor open face crash helmet review.

Nolan N21: great value open face helmet with sun visor. Nolan's N21 open face helmet is designed to look a bit fighter pilot and a bit vintage at the same time - which I guess it pretty much does. It's also designed to work for both daily commuters who want...

The Nolan N100-5 and N100-5 Plus flip-up. The perfect modular helmet?

Nolan N100-5 and N100-5 Plus flip up modular motorcycle helmet review. The N100-5/Plus is Nolan's top of the range flip-up/modular helmet, designed to be all things to all riders.

nolan-n80-8-featured

Nolan’s N80-8; full face polycarb all-rounder helmet.

The Nolan N80-8 is the successor to the Nolan N87 - a well liked, well specced polycarb all rounder full face helmet that was pretty much the staple of the Nolan range. And while the N80-8 has a similar look and vibe, it's actually a substantially redesigned lid. It's still got...

Nolan N60-5 polycarbonate full face motorbike helmet review

Nolan N60-5: entry-level full face helmet with tested protection. Italian-based Nolan makes a pretty big range of helmets, and they're all aimed towards the mid- to lower-end of the price range. They leave it to their sister brand X-lite to hog all the glory of their higher-priced MotoGP-inspired racing helmets and...

Modular/Flip-up Nolans

Nolan are modular specialists, making more modular and cross-over helmets than pretty well any other helmet maker. There's some real niche helmets too with removable chin bars and massive visors for a proper open face helmet feel. Their flip-front helmets are proven to be some of the best protecting too. Here's all the Nolan modulars we've covered.

Nolan N40-5 crossover and jet motorcycle crash helmet

Preview of the Nolan N40-5 family of motorcycle helmets (40-5 jet and 40-5 GT crossover) The Nolan N40 range has always been interesting and unusual.

Nolan N90-2 modular/flip-up crash helmet

The Nolan N90-2 - Nolan's entry-level flip-up crash helmet The Nolan N90-2 is Nolan's replacement for the old N91 and N91 Evo. That was a bit of a flawed gem - scored well for safety but was marked down a bit for comfort (and noise too but that's normal for...

Nolan N104 Motorcycle Helmet Review: Billys Crash Helmets

Summary: A well constructed flip-up helmet with no massive foibles. Useful internal sun visor, good ventilation and great Pinlock anti-fog visor. The only moans being it's quite noisy and the micro-lock strap can be a bit clunky and uncomfortable. Note: this helmet is now discontinued. Visit our main Nolan Helmets...

Full Face Nolan Helmets

Unusually for a helmet maker, Nolan doesn't have a huge range of full face helmets, focusing mainly on modulars as well as leaving top end more track-focused helmets to their sister company, X-Lite. Still, they do make some nice full face lids and you'll find our look over their current (and past) full face helmets below.

Adventure, Dual Sport and Motocross Nolan Helmets

Nolan push the boundaries of helmet design quite a bit, so you'll find some more unusual types of adventure and offroad helmets here. Many are very flexible designs that switch from open face to full face configurations and work well as both on-road and off-road helmets.
