FAQs
What makes the carbon fiber shell beneficial?
The carbon fiber shell is exceptionally strong yet very lightweight. This translates to improved safety, reduced rider fatigue on long rides, and better overall handling due to the lower rotational inertia.
Is the aerodynamic spoiler removable?
Yes, the aerodynamic spoiler is designed to be removable. This allows riders to customize the helmet's appearance and aerodynamic profile based on their riding conditions or preferences.
How does the Nolan Emergency Release System (NERS) work?
NERS allows specially trained emergency medical personnel to quickly and safely remove the helmet's cheek pads. This feature is critical for reducing the risk of secondary injuries to the rider's head or neck during an accident.
What certifications does this helmet hold?
The helmet is ECE 22.06 approved, which is the latest European safety standard, and ACU Gold approved, meeting stringent requirements for motorcycle racing in the UK.
Can I install a communication system in this helmet?
The helmet is designed with internal space and channels that generally accommodate most aftermarket Bluetooth communication systems. Refer to the user manual or Nolan's official resources for specific compatibility details.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace a motorcycle helmet every 5-7 years from the date of manufacture, or immediately after any impact, even if no damage is visible externally. The materials degrade over time.
Does the helmet come with a chin curtain and breath guard?
Yes, typically this model includes a chin curtain and breath guard to further improve comfort and reduce wind noise and visor fogging.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If minor adjustments are needed, consider purchasing thicker or thinner replacement cheek pads or crown liner from Nolan. Consult the sizing guide for precise measurements.
Visor fogs up despite Pinlock installation.
Ensure the Pinlock is correctly seated against the main visor, creating a sealed air pocket. Clean both the main visor and the Pinlock lens; residual oils or dirt can impair performance. Check that the Pinlock is properly attached and the seal is intact.
Ventilation seems inadequate.
Ensure all ventilation vents are open and not obstructed by debris or padding. Check that the internal channeling is clear. The RAF system is designed for effective airflow; if issues persist, contact customer support.
Strap D-rings are difficult to secure.
Practice securing the D-rings. Ensure the strap is threaded correctly through both rings and pulled tight. It may feel stiff initially but will become easier with use.
