Nolan N70-2 X - Stunner N-Com Metal White / Blue / Red

My previous lids have varied between size S and M, so I chose S based on my head measurement & it's perfect. If you like snug padding around the cheeks it might not be for you, but this makes it great for specs wearers. It's comfy, quiet at the low speeds I've done so far, and the peak keeps sun off once it's adjusted fully forward. Visor has a nice click action and can be locked in the closed position. Sun visor has a nice click action too. Ventilation seems good; I can feel the cool air over my head. The ability to use it as an open face with goggles was a big attraction for me. In summary, I find absolutely nothing to dislike.

Bought this helmet after my N44 got damaged. The N70-2X is great and flexible helmet. It is easy to convert by removing peak or chin bar - you don't need any tools ! Everything works smoothly, inside materials are quite comfy. Decent noise isolation (better than N44). Thanks to large visor the visibility is great - no need to stretch your neck to extremes ;)

After trying many outlets in trying to purchase the above item Sportsbike shop finally had one available. In addition I needed additional information regarding a comms unit to replace my existing item. Service on both accounts was excellent. Packaged appropriately and arrive on scheduled day.

It's got great build quality. The medium fits me fine as I went for my usual style. It has not leaked in heavy rain during a 8 mile commute home last week but, despite the Pinlock, part of the visor was a bit misted but it was pouring down. On cold morning rides, the Pinlock works as expected. The visor retracts smoothly and the removable chin piece will be great come summer. The colour I opted for looks better than the picture IMO.
SPS were fast to despatch and the gear arrived the following day. The N-com device was easily fitted and works well and looks just like a part of the helmet rather than a chunky aftermarket B/tooth unit clamped on the side.
Yeah, I am REALLY pleased with the helmet and comms unit. SportsbikeShop have excelled again with great service and good updates re delivery.

I have just ridden to work in heavy rain, visor does not steam up thanks to pin lock which was fitted at the factory or leak, wind noise is minimal with the visor shut.
Really comfortable, great side view with large visor, sun visor visor works well, the quick release fastens and opens with minimal effort but still feels secure.
I can wear my glasses without removing an ear every time I take them off.
I have always used AGV until now but this at a new level without breaking the bank.
All round excellent helmet.

Well finished. Surprisingly quiet. Excellent visor with pre fitted pin lock.

Coming from a Shoei Hornet this is a bit of a let down. The internal liner is already puckering up, and it's pretty draughty in winter. It's also noisier on the road than the Shoei helmets. Trying to fit a non-Nolan intercom such as a Cardo Packtalk really shows the cheapness of the shell and is a real challenge. The only plus side is the large visor giving a good view. Once the weather warms up I'll try the open-face option, but overall a flip front with a peak (Nexx or Schuberth) would have been a better choice.

A good X Platform helmet for riding on road, touring, trails Open/Full Face with or without a visor (using goggles). Its a little noisy at speed with the peak attached - but to be expected (good stability though). Internal visor is a great feature as is the ready fitted pinlock. Not keen on the ratchet closure as prefer the double D loop.

I got tired of being blinded by low, high intensity winter sun while trail riding last month. My other nolan helmet didn't have a peak, so thought I'd stick with a brand I trust and try this one.

While it IS supremely comfy, light and has a great field of vision, the visor fogs up quickly if you're not moving, doesn't seal properly, and the the removable chin section doesn't fill me with faith it'll last a minor off, and the peak is trash - sadly yet another victim of the "adventure" obsession everyone seems to have at present. I don't give a crap how good I look while smelling of sweat, covered in crap on a 200 mile trailing trip.

The peak simply doesn't come down far enough to make any difference to having your retinas burnt out.

If you're sat still with the visor down, it fogs up until you're moving again.

You can see a visible air gap between the helmet seal and the visor around the bottom.

The chinbar being removable is dumb.

So much stuff out there now concentrates on the LOOK rather than the FUNCTION of a product. Nolan needs to stop pandering to this idiotic ideal and make a proper, sturdy dualsport lid that is functional above stylish.

This is my fourth helmet (on the go at once) and suits the style of two of my five bikes. Compared to my other helmets this is the second quietest, which I think is very good considering the style. It is warmer than most having a continuous liner around the sides and over the ears, where most helmets have separate pieces and dents for the ears. I think helps make it both snug and quiet. As other reviewers have reported the wind noise off the peak is surprisingly low, the only time I notice the aero drag of the peak is when turning my head at speeds of 80mph or more. My only gripe is that where the removable chin piece joins at the visor aperture there is a water and wind seal that follows the shape of the helmet with the chin removed. This makes a gap in the seal when the chin is fitted that is draughty on the sides of your face. The draught is away from your eyes so is not a problem per see, just slightly annoying. Otherwise excellent.

I've been using a shoei neotec 2 for a few years so it's hard to compair or describe why I now prefer the NolanN70-2 . I do ride a truimph tiger 800 so wind noise isn't to much of a problem. What I found with the Nolan, much better view to the sides and the visor is not so close to your face due to the style, the rain doesn't get on the inside of the visor when its slightly open and it's more comfortable. Basically a great all rounder with I didn't think would replace my shoei 100% but it has and I love it. It's definitely not the quietest of helmets

Peaked helmets can be noisy and irritating in high winds, but this is better than most - I've had Arai, Uvex, and AGV adventure lids. It's quiet, light, has a very good view out and even fits my XS head well. The peak, visor and chin guard can be removed easily and the internal sun visor works well. You could ride down the motorway to the seaside in road or adventure mode and then go open-face around town, for example. the Nolan's half the price of an Arai Tour-X , more functional and unlike a Tour-X, the little screws, fittings and vents look like they won't break. Only drawback is it looks like it's from a Transformer movie, but it can change shape in use or for on-bike storage. Pleased with it.
