Nolan Crash Helmets Reviews
The Nolan brand was founded by Italian entrepreneur Lander Nocchi out of a “passion for two wheels” and Mr. Nocchi’s sole aim is to manufacture a line of lighter and more inexpensive motorcycle helmets than those available on the market at the time.
Nolan has been making motorcycle helmets since the early 1970s, and because of their creative helmet designs, sophisticated materials, and highly competitive costs, they currently have a major share of the European market.
The Nolan Group presently produces and distributes helmets under the Nolan, X-Lite, and Grex brands, all of which are made in Italy. Nolan and X-Lite cater to the mid-to-high end of the market, while Grex is a lower-cost helmet line aimed at newer riders (apparently to stem the flood of young scooter riders in Italy who prefer to ride without a helmet – and frequently wind up in the emergency room!).
Some of the best MotoGP and World Superbike riders, like Danilo Petrucci and Chas Davies, use Nolan and X-Lite helmets. Nolan Group helmets are frequently included in our top safest helmets lists, indicating that they are a brand with a strong safety reputation.
The Nolan group began manufacturing polycarbonate motorcycle helmets after obtaining the lightweight and revolutionary plastic material Lexan® from an American manufacturer and hasn’t looked back since.
X-Lite® Composite Fibre Helmets, Grex® Entry Level Helmets committed to young and fashionable riders looking for exceptional value for money, and N-Com®, Nolan’s own Bluetooth communications system have all been added to the Nolan group’s broad portfolio after 40 years.
