Helmets for athletes, off-roaders and cruisers
Nolan presented three new helmet models at a press event in Almeria: the Nolan X-Lite X-802RR full face helmet, a new open face helmet called the Nolan X-Lite X-201 and the Nolan N53 cross helmet.

In winter we were attracted by the Italian helmet manufacturer Nolan and the associated premium brand X-Lite to spring-like Spain to test the latest helmet developments: X-Lite X-802RR for the racetrack, Nolan N53 for off-roaders and the X-201 jet helmet for relaxed cruising.
“Scratched Chrome” everywhere
It looks like a scratched metal surface, but is a decor variant that Nolan first introduced with the N21 in 2015. The cool design was apparently convincing and can be found on numerous helmets from 2016, including the three featured in this article, the brands Nolan and X-Lite. The illusion is successful and the used look is something different again.

X-Lite X-802RR
Nolan
With the new X-Lite X-802RR, the developers have primarily devoted themselves to the inner lining of the helmet.
It all started on the Almeria GP race track with a further developed version of the X-802, with the abbreviation RR from 2016. With the RR version, the developers focused primarily on the inner lining of the helmet to make life easier for hotheads. The new fabric technology called “Carbon Fitting” uses special activated carbon fibers that are supposed to improve temperature regulation by promoting sweat evaporation. Especially on track days it quickly gets hot under the hat. With an optimal outside temperature of almost 20 degrees and double turns on the demanding Spanish circuit, the editor always kept a cool head. A summer comparison will have to show whether the new high-tech material actually has a noticeably improved cooling capacity or processes sweat better.
The good air supply is and remains a virtue of the X-802, the quality of workmanship inside and out is at a high level and the wearing comfort shines with its snug fit in all situations. With a weight of around 1,300 grams (size L), the X-802RR is one of the lighter helmets in this class. If you like it even lighter, you can use the carbon version, which saves up to 100 grams in weight.
- Sizes: XS to XXL (made in three outer shells)
- Prices: From 419.99 euros; Carbon version from 579.99 euros

Nolan X-201
Gram
The X-201 is nice and light with less than 1 kg.
Cafe racers, scramblers, cruisers, cool conversions – the counter-movement to the touristic safety vest faction has grown stronger in recent years and is here to stay. In the intoxication of decelerating, the coolness factor is right at the fore. The perfect outfit includes the appropriate head protection that X-Lite would like to deliver with the X-201 jet helmet. Retro look combined with modern materials in a combination of carbon, kevlar and glass fibers. The X-201 is nice and light with less than 1 kg. As with the X-802RR sports helmet, X-Lite also offers a carbon version of the X-201, which makes it a little lighter for the driver’s head.
The antibacterial, removable and washable inner lining ensures a smooth and comfortable fit, while a leather edging gives the open face helmet an elegant finish. We were pleasantly surprised by the subjectively good noise insulation while driving. The inner lining offers spectacle wearers enough space to get through the day without painful pressure points. Large goggles can be attached to a bracket on the back of the X-201. If you want, you can attach various visors (optional) to the front with the rivets.
- Sizes: XXS to XXXL
- Prices: From 269.99 euros; Carbon version from 339.99 euros
Nolan N53
Gram
The Nolan N53 is available in 19 different colors and designs.
With the N53, Nolan has again a thoroughbred cross helmet in its range, which was developed uncompromisingly for sporty flights over the off-road slopes. The N53 offers a large field of vision, which also provides enough space for cross goggles of various sizes. The aggressive, angular outer shell integrates a goggle strap guide and is designed for the use of neck braces to ensure direct contact with the neck protection.
Inlets on the forehead and outlets on the back provide a pleasant flow of air, while large inlets in the chin section provide the driver with plenty of fresh air. There is a removable filter here so that you don’t have to eat any dirt. Quality and workmanship seem beyond reproach, so the designers had enough time to turn up the style rating. The removable lining has a gray camouflage look in places, the paintwork (19 different color and design variants) shines with details and value even on closer inspection.
- Sizes: XXS to XXXL
- Price: From 159.99 euros
