Nolan N100-6

The Nolan N100-6 is a polycarbonate flip-up helmet. The European Classico listing documents ECE 22.06 and P/J homologation.

Who should consider it

Touring riders looking for a polycarbonate modular with a VPS sun visor and N-Com preparation.

Features and trade-offs

Nolan lists a VPS sun visor, Microlock2 fastening, elliptical chin-bar movement and preparation for N-Com communications.

The compatible N-Com unit and its inclusion need confirming. Compare the closed fit and chin-section operation before using shell material to narrow the shortlist.

What to check at a fitting

Repeat the elliptical chin-bar movement and Microlock2 fastening while stationary. Try the VPS sun visor with any glasses you wear.

Start with the manufacturer’s size chart and keep the helmet on long enough to identify pressure points. Follow the model’s fitting instructions and repeat the retention checks after any approved adjustment. Record the size and padding configuration that works for you.

Use the helmet fit checklist before comparing accessories.

Two alternatives to try

• Schuberth C5 (EU). Touring riders seeking a modular helmet with a sun visor and preparation for the SC2 communications system.
• Shoei Neotec 3 (EU/US/JP). Touring and everyday riders who want a flip-up chin section, an internal sun visor and the option of an integrated communications installation.

Compare these three helmets. Keep the version labels visible when considering models from different markets.
