Everything about the Nolan N100-5

The ingenious hinge system of the chin bar pivots at two point, resulting in a very compact shape when the chin bar is pointed upwards. This greatly improves the streamlining, and thus the comfort while riding. The helmet also has an improved fix and an adjustable Neckroll, so that it has a tighter fit.

The Nolan N100-5 has a dual homologation (P/J certification). This means that the helmets is approved as an open face helmet and as a full face helmet. So you can safely ride with the chin bar up. The chin bar is equipped with the safer ‘Dual Action’ opening mechanism. To open the chin bar you need your thumb and your index finger. You are still able to open the chin bar with one hand, but thanks to this extra security the chin bar will not accidentally open during a fall.
