INTERMOT: Nolan Collection 2019

The new N70-2 X, the first on-off (road and off-road) crossover on the market, and the X-903, with the exclusive magnetic visor assembly system, are here.

Anticipate the needs of motorcyclists and be the first to offer helmets with ever-more avant-garde solutions. A challenge that Nolan Group has been carrying forward since 1972, studying the latest trends and identifying new technology, as well as the best available materials. A challenge which nowadays leads to the creation of “Made in Italy” products that the company exports to more than 80 countries worldwide, with a total of more than 450,000 helmets sold every year.

As confirmation of this ambitious process, for 2019, Nolan Group proposes three new versatile and innovative products: N70-2X, N70-2GT and X-903.

Nolan’s N70-2 X and N70-2 GT models have been created to satisfy the requirements of motorcyclists who use their bikes in ever-increasingly varied situations: from the city to off-road, as well as tourism. N70-2 X is the first on-off (road and off-road) crossover on the market, while the N70-2 GT is a road crossover. Both are characterised by a removable protective chin guard and ultrawide visor, elements which make them unique and versatile.

The X-lite range instead now includes the new X-903, the sport-inspired top-of-the-range full-face touring helmet characterised by the innovative visor mechanism with tilting function and the exclusive MVA (Magnetic Visor Assembly) system.

Lastly, with the Grex brand, Nolangroup seeks to conquer those looking for helmets that offer excellent value for money. There are three new proposals for 2019: a full-face helmet for the road, the G6.2, the G4.1E jet and the G3.1E mini-jet.

The N-Com family has also grown, thanks to the introduction of the B901 X Series (compatible with the X-lite models), and the new B601 series which substitutes the base range of products (B1.4, B1, BX1) and increases performance: new electronic circuit board, new components, and an updated design for the keypads.

Travel First Class With LS2 Helmets

Comfortable, light and packed with features normally reserved for premium priced helmets, the LS2 Breaker offers a first class travel experience on every ride.

Seven exciting new graphics have been added to the line-up, including a Loris Baz replica, based on the design worn by the French WSBK racer.
The Kinetic Polymer Alloy (KPA) outer shell provides high penetration resistance and flexibility for energy dispersion, yet is lightweight at just 1400g. Three outer shell sizes give a close fit in each size range.

The visor is made from 3D Optically Correct A-Class Polycarbonate and comes with a Pinlock anti-fog system as standard. A drop-down sun visor – easily operated with a gloved hand – also features.

Dynamic Flow-through Ventilation – with adjustable intake ports, internal channels and exhaust ports – works with the hypoallergenic Magna-Tech liner to keep the wearer fresh. For added peace of mind, an Emergency Release System allows first responders to remove the cheek pads, so the helmet can be taken off with minimal movement of a fallen rider’s head and neck.

Designed to accept the LINKIN Ride Pal Bluetooth headset, (RRP £129), for full wireless connectivity on the move, the Breaker is available in sizes XS-XXL in 4 plain and 9 graphic finishes – including 7 new colours for 2018. Retail prices start at £119.99 for plain colours and graphics cost £129.99.

LS2 Helmets

LS2 Pioneer’s Cool New Colours

LS2’s Pioneer dual sport helmet is now available in a cool new Matt Titanium Blue graphic and bright H-V Yellow.

Developed with input from LS2’s motocross, enduro and supermoto championship series riders, the Pioneer is designed to deal with the toughest of environments.

The outer shell is made from LS2’s exclusive Kinetic Polymer Alloy (KPA), a super strong and lightweight material rivalling high-end composites, which offers flexibility for energy absorption and high penetration resistance – crucial when tackling tough trails.

Naturally it’s fully certified to the ECE 22.05 standard – so is legal to wear on the road in the UK – and comes in three outer shell sizes for the smallest, lightest possible helmet in each fitment range. It also has a long-oval shape to follow the natural contour of the head, for a snug and reassuring fit.

Extra protection is provided by the quick-release visor. It’s manufactured from 3D Optically Correct A-Class Polycarbonate, is scratch and UV-resistant, and Pinlock-ready for a clear view at all times. A simple to operate drop-down Sun Visor also features.

Inside a breathable, hypoallergenic lining and Dynamic Flow-through Ventilation – with adjustable intake ports, internal channels and exhaust ports – helps keep the rider cool and comfortable when the going gets hot. The lining is removable and washable, so it can be kept fresh and clean all-season.

In addition, an emergency release system allows first responders to remove the cheek pads in seconds, so the helmet can be removed with minimal movement of a fallen rider’s head and neck.

The Pioneer comes in sizes XXS – 3XL, in a choice of four solid and four graphic finishes.  Retail prices start at £99.99 for solid colours, including H-V Yellow. Graphics, like the Matt Titanium Blue Quarterback, are £119.99.

Xtra Stylish Xtra Light New LS2 Helmet

New from LS2, the Xtra blends classic styling with cutting edge materials, construction and features, for riders who want the old-skool look, but demand modern comfort, protection and performance.

The Xtra’s impressive spec starts with the outer shell, which is made from 100% high-grade wide weave carbon fibre. It offers high penetration resistance and flexibility for energy dispersion, yet weighs in at just 1159 grams. Naturally, it’s fully ECE 22.05 certified for road use. The shell comes in three sizes for the smallest, lightest possible helmet in each fitment range, and has a long-oval shape to follow the natural contour of the head, for a snug and reassuring fit.

The wide aperture offers plenty of all-round vision and accommodates most styles of riding goggle. Both Short and Long Peaks are included, to allow the rider to tailor to the Xtra to the riding conditions. Dynamic Flow-through Ventilation – with top and chin vents, internal channels and exhaust ports at the rear – help keep the wearer cool when the going gets hot. The breathable and hypoallergenic Extra Comfort Lining is removable and can be washed, to maintain freshness. An emergency release system also features, which allows first responders to remove the cheek pads, so the Xtra can be removed with minimal movement of a fallen rider’s head and neck. A reinforced chin strap, double D-ring fastening and LS2’s signature metal security plate top off the spec.

The LS2 Xtra is available in sizes XS-XXL (53-64 cm) and is priced £399.99. Visit www.ls2helmets.com for more information and to find your nearest stockist.

LS2 Vector Helmet – Light And Lighter

LS2’s Vector helmet is available with a lightweight HPFC shell or an even lighter wide weave carbon fibre option.

The Vector HPFC is made from the company’s own High Performance Fiberglass Composite, which delivers high penetration resistance, with flexibility for energy dispersion, and low weight – just 1390 grams.

Fitted with LS2’s quick-release, 3D Optically Correct visor, the rider gets a clear view of the road ahead. It’s also features the Pinlock Max Vision Anti Fog System.

Behind that is a flip-down sun visor – easily operated with a gloved hand – so low sun and glare from wet roads can be dealt with in seconds.

Comfort is taken care of by the Magna-Tech Liner, which is removable and washable, and an emergency release system allows first responders to remove the cheek pads, so the helmet can be removed with minimal movement of a fallen rider’s head and neck.

When the going gets hot Dynamic Flow-through Ventilation – with adjustable intake ports, internal channels and exhaust ports – helps keep the wearer cool.

The LS2 Vector HPFC comes in sizes XXS – 3XL and retails at £159 in plain colours and £169 for graphics.

For riders looking to cut even more weight, a Wide-Weave Carbon Fibre version – which comes in at 1300 grams – retails at £269 in ‘plain’ carbon-fibre finish and £289 in hi-vis yellow.

New Carbon Modular Helmet From LS2

Travel light whenever and wherever you ride with LS2’s new Vortex, which features a carbon fibre shell, Bluetooth connectivity and is dual-homologated as both a full face and open face helmet.

Made from 100% high-grade carbon fibre – the same material used in the aeronautical industry, Formula 1 and MotoGP – the Vortex weighs just 1300g*, significantly less than regular flip-front helmets which can be upwards of 1700g.

Alongside the aerodynamic shaping of the shell, the low weight helps keep the wearer’s head stable at speed and reduces pressure on the neck and fatigue on longer stretches – a real bonus when touring.

A full wrap-around neck curtain and one at the chin help keep the wind and weather out, as well as reducing annoying and tiring wind noise – essential when tackling long stretches of motorway or dual carriageway.

This also helps with hearing sat nav directions, rider-to-passenger and bike-to-bike comms, as well as music – all possible as the Vortex is LINKIN Ride Pal Bluetooth-ready, for full wireless connectivity on the move.

The quick-release visor is formed using 3D Optically Correct “A Class” Polycarbonate, which avoids distortion for a clear view of the road ahead, and is supplied with a Pinlock insert to reduce fogging. A drop-down sun shield also features, and is operated using an easy-to-find slider on the left side of the shell.

Inside is a removable and washable hypoallergenic lining for comfort and freshness, plus Dynamic Flow-through Ventilation – with adjustable intake ports, internal channels and exhaust ports – delivering a constant, light flow of air when needed.

The LS2 Vortex is available in sizes XS-XXL (53-64 cm) and retails for £299-.

It is also available with the LINKIN Ride Pal system (RRP £129.99) for the special price of £399.99.

LS2 Helmets

New Stream-line Helmet From LS2

Packed with features to reduce fatigue and wind-noise, alongside increasing vision and comfort, LS2’s new Stream Evo helmet helps riders stay focussed on the road.

The Stream Evo’s HTTP (High Pressure Thermoplastic Technology) outer shell is oval, to follow the shape of the head, and has aerodynamic shaping for stability at speed and to reduce pressure on the neck muscles.

Safety is a priority, so the shell offers high penetration resistance and flexibility for energy dispersion, and the Multi-Density EPS liner absorbs impact forces. For a clear view of the road ahead, the visor is made from 3D Optically Correct A-Class Polycarbonate, a space-age polymer with high resistance to impact, that avoids distortion and offers maximum clarity. It’s scratch and UV-resistant, and Pinlock-ready as standard – a breath deflector is also fitted to help prevent misting.

A drop-down sun visor – easily operated with a gloved hand – deals with the glare from the sun and Dynamic Flow-through Ventilation – with adjustable intake ports, internal channels and exhaust ports – creates a light flow of air, keeping the wearer cool. The hypoallergenic liner is removable and washable for season-long comfort and freshness and a chin curtain is fitted to reduce wind noise inside the helmet.

The LS2 Stream Evo is available in sizes XS-XXL in a choice of 3 plain and 8 eye-catching graphic finishes. Retail prices start at £79.99 for plain colours and graphics cost £89.99. Visit www.ls2helmets.com for more information and to find your local stockist.

Spitfire Helmet Flies In

Old school style meets new tech in the LS2 Spitfire open-face helmet.

The outer shell is made from HTTP – High Pressure Thermoplastic Technology – which offers high penetration resistance and flexibility for energy dispersion, and is light, at just 1150g. Naturally, it’s fully ECE 22.05 certified.

The drop down sun visor is easily operated with gloved hands, and has both short and long-step positions to choose between.
