Nolan Solid N102 N-Com Modular Street Helmet (2009)Product Review and Evaluation WantedIt is the expression of the special attention Nolan pays to the ongoing functional and aesthetic improvement of its products, which has led to the creation of an even more elegant and aggressive helmet with a high standard of quality. The shell of the Nolan N102 features an aerodynamic design, intuitively controlled ventilation mechanisms provided with excellent grip so they are easy to operate even with gloves on, and a special rubber trim placed around the edge of the chin guard that guarantees perfect adherence. The helmet is equipped with a removable and washable comfort padding complete with neck roll so as to improve the comfort of the “touring” rider. The visual look is enhanced by all the colour-matched components.
N102 The Nolan N102 is characterized by the new DUAL ACTION opening system. Positioned in the centre of the chin guard, it can be opened with just one hand. The opening system was designed to ensure ultimate practicality. The Dual Action mechanism prevents the chin guard from opening accidentally, thus granting maximum safety. With its new “streamlined” design, the chin guard offers more space in front of the rider’s face. The new N102 is also characterized by Nolan’s famous, highly valued details: Microlock retention system, Sanitized® treatment of the liner, Jet Stream Wing (JSW) ventilation system, Nolan Fog Resistant (NFR) system, Vision Protection System (VPS).
Chin guard opening system and visor mechanism
The Nolan N102 comes equipped with an innovative chin guard opening system that combines three different functions:
A. Chin guard rotation with elliptical trajectory, which minimizes the frontal area, in the open position, and prevents accidental closing;
B. Automatic visor return when opening the chin guard;
C. Visor mechanism: three open positions
Top ventilation system
It is characterized by a frontal air intake, which is integrated with the JSW system and offers two open positions. It can easily be operated with just one hand, even when wearing gloves, thanks to its excellent grip.
