UK’s comprehensive line-up bolstered by two new helmets plus more paint options
The X-lite brand, started by Nolan back in 1998, is all about outright performance. Every helmet in the range is designed to excel and ensures every type of motorcyclist is catered for, with an array of superb paint options and race replicas to suit every taste.
New models for the UK in the X-lite range:
X-551
Hyper N-Com: (5) Black, (6) Metal White RRP: £359.99
Start N-Com: (1) Black (2) Silver (3) Metal White RRP: £324.99
The new X-lite X-551 is a composite fibre helmet designed for riders of motard and street enduro motorcycles. Every detail was designed for a "crossover" use of the motorcycle: choice materials for the layers of the shell, extra comfortable high-tech fabrics for the interior, internal VPS sunscreen, and the X-551 is fully ready for the state-of–the-art N-Com X-Series communication system. Its streamlined looks are made even more attractive by the visor and large, functional peak. In addition the X-551 can be used in its full configuration or without the peak or the visor. The innovative ventilation system includes a wide and functional air intake in the chin area that makes even more effective the Nolan Fog Resistant (NFR) and Full Silicon Bind (FSB) systems, which are fitted as standard. The airflow inside the helmet is managed by the front air intake and the two upper air intakes, which thanks to the rear extractor guarantees a constant airflow inside the helmet even in extreme conditions. The X-551 is available in sizes XS-XXL.
X-402 GT
Hyper N-Com: (8) Black and (9) Metal White RRP: £324.99
Elegance N-Com: (1) Black and (3) Metal White RRP: £299.99
For 2011 the innovative X-402 has developed into the X-402 GT. The removable protective chin guard has passed the homologation tests required by ECE regulations for full-face helmets, while a simple and practical fastening system allows you to easily transform the X-402 GT from open-face to full-face. Newly designed upper air intakes make activation easier and more intuitive, even when wearing gloves.
The X-402 GT, fully ready to accept the N-Com X-Series communication system, is a multifunctional helmet offering the highest possible comfort and protection in any season, thus providing the best possible visibility for all types of use in all conditions. Its visor, now ready for the Nolan Fog Resistant system (NFR) is made from SABIC Innovative Plastics Lexan® OQ and is designed to guarantee protection and comfort. The X-402 GT is also fitted with a new, tinted inner Visor Protection System (VPS) which is highly functional, efficient and ergonomic. Operation is simple and intuitive, facilitated by the practical external control button. VPS can be activated (lowered) or stored within the shell rapidly and safely under all conditions; it also features S/R (Scratch Resistant) and F/R (Fog Resistant) treatment. Maintenance and cleaning are made simple thanks to easy disassembly and reassembly operations. Easy to install, the wind protector makes the helmet (with chin guard fastened) ideal for use during the winter months; in addition it ensures optimum sealing around the chin. The X-402 GT is available in sizes XS-XXL.

It is born as a result of X-lite technology research and has undergone numerous aerodynamic tests both in the laboratory and the track. Its new liner configuration – which has been lightened next to the inner system of air ducts – ensures an optimum flow of air inside the helmet. The liner is completely removable and washable, ensuring superior hygiene and freshness. The X-701 is also ready for fitment of the N-Com X-Series communication system and comes in sizes XS–XXL.
