PRO GuIDe X-1003 composite flipfront helmet from Nolan NOLAN has used composite fibre construction for its new X-1003 flip-front helmet to bring the weight down to a claimed 1,500g for a medium-sized shell. Available in three outer shell sizes (XXS-XS-S-M1/ M2-L/XL-XXL-XXXL), the X-1003 features a removable and washable lining, with new shape cheek pads, which are said to offer improved helmet stability and comfort for spectacle wearers thanks to the ‘Eyewear Adaptive System’. A removable neck roll is also featured in the X-1003. Nolan’s Touring ventilation system uses air intakes on the chin guard and on the shell as well as a rear hot air extractor. The flip-front of the X-1003 has a dual action opening system positioned in the centre of the chin guard to allow for easy, onehanded opening. The dual action opening mechanism is said to reduce the risk of accidental opening to a minimum and assures maximum safety. The chin guard rotation movement with elliptical trajectory makes it possible to keep the total size of the helmet’s front section to a minimum when the chin guard is open. The visor is equipped with a tool-free quick release mechanism and also features a double action mechanism allowing the visor lock to prevent accidental visor opening at high speeds, or visor demisting at low speeds or stops by a minimum visor opening. The visor itself is scratch and fog-resistant and a Pinlock anti-fog insert is included. NOLAN GROUP Brembate di Sopra (BG), ITALY Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.nolan.it
