For more information on choosing and fitting a motorcycle helmet, please see the wBW Motorcycle Helmet FAQ page, which also includes a discussion on head shapes. Real innovation in motorcycle helmet design is apparently rather difficult, probably due to the constraints of having to meet worldwide safety standards.
Although we have seen more innovation recently than in any other time in the past, with helmets like the Shark Evoline review and the Givi X. The top vent assembly has a front intake, which operates independently and sits behind a louvered vent opening. But see those translucent covers on either side of the black vent assembly? This system really works — as soon as I get up to about 20 MPH, I can feel the system working, almost like someone turned on a fan at the top, sucking the air out.
The air flows up through the helmet and out the top. I wonder if Nolan has applied for some international patents on this design — I sure would if it was my invention! Although the rest of the helmet design is an integral part of the ventilation system also. The helmet has two additional exhaust ports out the back, also covered by a dual set of louvers that match the look at the front of the helmet.
Overall, the Nolan N43 has now taken over the top spot for warm-weather helmets from the Givi X. This Nolan N43 in size XL weighs grams 3 lbs. The N43 has an unusual face shield. The spoiler is molded to and forms the lower part of the chin bar. The face shield has very good optical qualities and provides excellent visibility in all dimensions, but especially out the front, which has to count for something in terms of a safety factor. The face shield includes Pinlock studs, so a Pinlock anti-fog system review insert can be installed.
The N43 has an internal sun visor, which operates via a slider on the left-hand side of the helmet. The slider has a rubber insert in the surface, which makes it easy to use. It also has a cutout for the nose, and again like most of these visors, it would be better if it were cut straight across, which would minimize the distraction at the lower edge and also allow the visor to work as a sun shade when lowered to just above the eyes.
The N43 is what we call a true modular helmet, because the chin bar is removable. Push in two levers along the sides of the helmet shell see video and the chin bar is easily removable. It snaps right back in. The package includes plastic inserts for covering the slots in the shell when the chin bar is removed, and also a separate opaque peak that can be installed on the helmet if the clear face shield is removed.
They have now released the Nolan N43 Trilogy helmet review for the U. The chin bar is made from some type of semi-hard rubbery-feeling plastic. I wonder if the helmet shell would have more integrity and less flex if the chin bar was made from a hard polycarbonate or other material, but hopefully the softer material will absorb impact in case of a crash.
All things considered, the N43 is surprisingly quiet for this type of helmet or for a helmet with this amount of air flow. Note that our helmet evaluations are a combined effort of several riders over time on different types of motorcycles with and without windscreens. Evaluators wear correctly fitted, high quality ear plugs even when evaluating motorcycle intercom systems.
Always protect your hearing when riding a motorcycle. See the wBW Earplug Reviews for more information on choosing and wearing earplugs. Nolan claims to specialize in polycarbonate e. This one seems on the thick side and is slightly uncomfortable under my chin. The Nolan N43 is an innovative new helmet with many very nice features that make it a favorite warm-weather helmet, although it should work well in 3 seasons. The price is also fairly reasonable, making the N43 a definite buy.
It will not be the exact version that you reviewed, but it will come in two versions, and in 9 solid colors and 4 two-tone graphics. Totally agree with the review, beautiful ventilation, almost too much at times. Great manufacturing tolerances, with the exception of the internal sun visor, a little loose. The bit that gave me the most problem is the chin piece, does it seems to make the helmet fit tighter, does it happen with you guys as well?
Over all. Really happy with the purchase. Last week, I was shopping for a new helmet and I was very interested in this model, specifically because I must wear eyeglasses while driving. Then, I tried on the Nolan N Trilogy.
With the chin bar removed, the helmet was easy to slide on my head while wearing my eyeglasses. It fit like a glove. After a few minutes with the helmet on, the chin bar became very uncomfortable due its very stiff padding. This occurred with both sizes of helmets tried: a Large and an X-Large. What a disappointment!!! Being so stiff and close to the jaw, it would appear to me that it would transfer the full impact energy directly to my jaw instead of absorbing some of it.
Its identical to the Nolan N Trilogy, but without the chin bar. This is the helmet I got. I thought I could exchange the chin guard plugs for a chin guard and I would have a Nolan N43 Trilogy. This might not happen. The latches allow for the removal of the chin guard. Instead I have the chin guard plugs that I think cannot be removed unless I undo a screw. Accoringly its like new, internally and externally.
