Material

The N60-6 is made of Polycarbonate and comes in 2 outer shell sizes, this earns Nolan’s helmet 2.5 stars. If we look at its competitors we see that it doesn’t score the best on material, but keeps up very well with its competitors. The standout here is the Scorpion EXO 1400 air thanks to its fiberglass composite and 3 outer shell sizes. When we weighed Nolan’s helmet in a size M the scale indicated 1525 grams.

 

Visor

Now that we’ve had the material and the weight, let’s look at the visor. The Nolan N60-6 has an extra wide visor, which is scratch resistant, providing a better field of vision while riding. In addition, the visor is Pinlock lens prepared, is already installed on the helmet or included in the box and the N60-6 by Nolan has an integrated sun visor.

The sun visor is fog resistant, can be removed easily if you want to clean it and is adjustable in multiple positions.

 

Ventilation

On the chin there is a ventilation opening that you can open and close. In addition, there are two ventilation openings on the head, which you can also open and close. All the air can then escape through the spoiler on the back.

 

Comfort

The lining is removable, washable and they have taken into account riders who wear glasses. They have left room in the lining for the frame of a pair of glasses. And if we look inside the helmet we see that there is a good airflow through the holes in the EPS shell and the helmet does not have a double closure but a chin strap.
