10 February 2009 : Nolan N103 Motorrad: motorcycle touring passion
Breathtaking landscapes, hilly routes with bends galore, and wonderful little restaurants well worth discovering. Alone or in company, motorcycle tourism is always a great adventure.
And to best satisfy the demands of the modern motorcycle tourist, Nolan proposes the brand new, captivating Motorrad graphics of N103. Clear-cut, incisive style with something more than the classic flip-up helmet.
With its practical, stylish design, this Nolan full-face flip-up stands out for the utmost care taken over each and every little detail:
- new rubber trim, placed between chin guard and shell, which helps to reduce potential wind noise, thus increasing the comfort of the rider;
- the most up-to-date “Clima Comfort” padding, removable and washable;
- also featuring effective air ducts in the inner shell ensuring constant air recirculation
inside the helmet. Superior rider comfort in all conditions, thanks to the new air intakes and rear extractor;
- innovative cheek pad configuration, even more comfortable thanks to the new EPS support;
- the extremely useful internal sun screen (VPS), easily activated from the outside and removable for cleaning or replacement.
The Nolan N103 is characterized by the new DUAL ACTION opening system.
Positioned in the centre of the chin guard, it can be opened with just one hand.
The opening system was designed to ensure ultimate practicality.
The Dual Action mechanism prevents the chin guard from opening accidentally, thus granting maximum safety. With its new “streamlined” design, the chin guard offers more space in front of the rider’s face.
The visor is fitted with an automatic return system during opening of the chin guard, and includes three different opening positions, with the additional benefit of an innovative quick release mechanism making fitting and removing even quicker.
N103 has also obtained dual certification as both jet and full-face with protective chin guard.
And that's not all! It is also ready for use with the N-Com® communication system by Nolan.
N-COM®: NOLAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
N-Com® is the revolutionary modular communication system designed by Nolan and certified UN/ECE 22-05 (helmet with system installed). N-Com® allows the rider to stay connected to their mobile phone at all times or to talk to their passenger. It is easy to install and simple to transfer from one helmet to another. This year, our catalogue also offers the new Basic Kit2 and Bluetooth Kit2. The Basic Kit2 ensures a superior sound quality, thanks to the stereo mode. Like the Basic Kit 2, the Bluetooth Kit2 also has the A2DP profile (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), but in addition exploits Bluetooth technology to allow the rider to be connected to both passenger and mobile at the same time.
The models outfitted for the N-Com® system are: N103, N102, N84, N43 AIR, N43, N42E and N32.
CONFIGURATIONS
N-COM® MOBILE
The N-Com® Mobile configuration allows you to connect your Nolan N-Com® helmet, equipped with Basic Kit2, to your cell phone (through the Mobile Wire accessory, specific for each cell phone model), or to connect the helmet (through the Multimedia Wire accessory) to multimedia sources such as MP3 (equipped with 3.5 mm stereo outlet), satellite navigators or radios for motorcycle-motorcycle communication.
N-COM® INTERCOM
The N-Com® Intercom configuration allows the rider to communicate with the passenger by cable (both Nolan helmets must be equipped with the Basic Kit2 system). The system can be upgraded with the Mobile Wire accessory, which allows the connection to your cell phone. Alternatively, the Multimedia Wire accessory allows the connection to multimedia sources such as MP3 (equipped with 3.5 mm stereo outlet), satellite navigators, radios for motorcycle-to-motorcycle communication, or to the audio systems of your motorcycle (MCS, Motorcycle Communication System).
N-COM® BLUETOOTH
With the Bluetooth Kit2 you can connect your Nolan helmet to a Bluetooth cell phone or to a wireless satellite navigator. Thanks to the A2DP profile, you can also listen to high quality music in wireless stereo mode. The various Multimedia Wires can be used to connect another device (MP3 reader, Satellite Navigator, motorcycle-motorcycle radio) or to connect to the audio system onboard your motorcycle.
You can use the Bluetooth Kit2 also as a cable interphone, by connecting it to a Nolan helmet equipped with any N-Com® system. The passenger can communicate with the pilot in interphone mode and can also listen to all the connected audio sources (Mp3, GPS navigators, MP3, Bluetooth with A2DP, etc.).
N-COM® INTERCOM BLUETOOTH
The “N-Com® Intercom Bluetooth” configuration allows two helmets fitted with a Bluetooth Kit2 to communicate in a wireless interphone mode thanks to Bluetooth technology. In addition, each helmet can also be connected to a Bluetooth cell phone in wireless mode. The various Multimedia Wires can be used to connect another device (MP3 reader, Satellite Navigator, motorcyclemotorcycleradio) or to connect to the audio system onboard your motorcycle (BMW, Honda Goldwing, Harley Davidson).
16 January 2009 : N43 Air: the transformer helmet
Winter's ice, snow and freezing cold temperatures confine most motorbikes to the garage, but true aficionados get right back riding as soon as possible.
And Nolan has great news for all-weather bikers: N43 AIR, the transformer helmet! N43 AIR is a fully modular jet helmet that can be easily and quickly configured in six different ways, making N43 AIR the perfect helmet for both out-of-town and city riding.
N43 AIR also stands out for the important technical solutions used in its design to guarantee ever greater comfort:
- utilising 5 separate air intakes, one front, two rear and two upper, the exclusive ventilation system incorporated into the design is able to effectively direct three independent air-flows;
- the innovative, neutral coloured* 'Deep Visor', large and close-fitting in its lower portion, gives the helmet all the advantages of aerodynamic qualities; also supplied as standard ready for use with the NFR system (Nolan Fog Resistant);
- the VPS sunscreen combining with the visor
- the innovative protective chin guard, which allows, thanks to a simple and practical fastening system, changing the open-face helmet into a full-face one, and the other way round;
What’s more, N43 AIR is equipped with the latest generation “Clima Comfort” inner comfort padding, which is fully removable and washable. The padding is made from a highly ergonomic fabric that provides freshness in all seasons, this being superbly enhanced, courtesy of the new internal air channels.
Don't delay! N43 AIR, the design and technology wonder awaits you in all specialist shops!
