Nolan N120-1 Ess Helmet

Nolan N120-1 Ess Helmet arrives as a confident answer to riders who move easily between streets, highways, and unplanned detours. Built around a bold flip-back concept, it blends the protective feel of a full-face shell with the liberating openness of a jet helmet. One moment it feels like a quiet cocoon on a cold morning commute, the next it opens wide at a fuel stop, turning routine pauses into relaxed conversations.

This modular design rotates the chin guard a full 180 degrees, redefining balance and comfort across every riding mode. A dual lever opening system works smoothly and deliberately, like a well-engineered camera shutter, offering control without hesitation. Colours and graphics follow the same thoughtful approach, from earthy Sabbia and Ocra tones to vivid Rosso Viscerale accents, staying elegant whether the helmet is closed or flipped back. Communication readiness completes the picture, allowing long rides to unfold with shared routes, music, or calm directions.
