The new Nolan N104 model is the synthesis of all the innovation that Nolan® was able to introduce in the field of full-face flip-up helmets, starting with the first & innovating N100 (year 1998). Nolan® is about to write a whole new page in history: N104 is, indeed, the helmet designed by the most demanding motorcyclists for the most careful ones. It was designed, developed, tested & engineered by a team of specialists who are passionate motorcyclists, before being engineers, designers or technicians. N104 is, in fact, the highest expression of Nolan® s new & exclusive innovations, it is a synonym for contemporary & elegant design & incomparable riding comfort. 100% Made in Italy, N104 is the flip-up helmet all other helmets compare to, thanks to the reliability of the Nolan® brand & to the obsessive attention for single details. SHELL: Nolan N104 is produced in two outer shell sizes (XXS-L / XL-XXXL) therefore, it offers maximum comfort. The helmet s weight & volume are thus kept to a minimum, proportionate to the rider s size. CHIN GUARD ROTATION MOVEMENT: The (patented) chin guard rotation movement with elliptical trajectory makes it possible to keep the total size of the helmet s front section to a minimum, when the chin guard is open. The "sail" effect is consequently highly reduced & riding comfort is still guaranteed, even when the chin guard is lifted. dual action CHIN GUARD OPENING SYSTEM: The N104 version is fitted with the exclusive (patented) dual action chin guard opening system. Positioned in the centre of the chin guard, it allows for easy, one-handed opening. The dual action opening mechanism reduces the risk of accidental opening to a minimum: the chin guard can be opened only operating the first release lever (or safety lock) & then activating the second lever. "ULTRAWIDE" VISOR: The visor assembled on the new N104 guarantees maximum riding comfort: the large surface makes it, indeed, possible to have a broader view, also lateral, thus highly increasing active safety. It can be removed easily & quickly, without any tools, for maintenance and/or replacement. It is also equipped with* Pinlock® anti-fog visor with silicone-sealed profile (FSB). ANTI-FOG VISOR: The N104 is equipped* with Pinlock® anti-fog visor with silicone-sealed profile (FSB). The exclusive shape of the visor offers a considerably broader field of vision, eliminating any interference in the upper part of the visor. VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM: The internal sunscreen on the new N104 is easy to activate, thanks to the innovative & intuitive (patent pending) activating system. It allows automatic & immediate retraction of the screen in the standby position, thus simplifying & speeding up the retraction process (e.g. when entering a tunnel). The internal sunscreen (VPS) is S/R (Scratch Resistant) & F/R (Fog Resistant) treated. VENTILATION: The ventilation of the helmet s upper part uses the system. It ensures optimal ventilation where the rider s head most requires it avoiding any dispersion: the air is, indeed, extracted & forced into the most critical areas to guarantee maximum comfort also in extreme riding conditions. The new N104 innovative ventilation system is also equipped with an air intake in the chin guard, an air intake in the frontal area & two rear extractors recycling air inside the helmet. INNER COMFORT PADDING: It is made up of removable cheek pads, inner liner, neck roll & wind protector. The inner padding of the new N104 is easily removable & washable & it is made from highly breathable, soft & fresh fabrics which ensure excellent comfort also in long rides. The fabric used also undergo antibacterial treatment. The shape of the inner comfort padding facilitates eyeglass wearing. The reflective insert at the centre of the roll neck further improves the rider s visibility at night &, consequently, the rider s active safety. The neck roll can be removed easily, for more comfort in the warmer months. NEW MICROLOCK RETENTION SYSTEM 2: The N104 version is equipped with the new Microlock 2 The new (patent pending) Microlock 2 release, as the traditional (patented) Microlock release by Nolan, differ from all other releases currently on the market for their double lever system. This system consists of a plastic ergonomic opening lever, & of a second aluminium toothed & holding lever. The toothed lever releases the micrometric strip, thus the chin strap can only be open with a very broad rotation of the opening lever. This important device minimizes the possibility of unintentional opening of the retention system, making it still ergonomic & easy to use. The Microlock 2 comes together with considerable reduction of the size & weight of the release, compared to the traditional version, as well as with a 10-click micrometric strip. SET UP FOR N-COM®: The N104 is set up to be equipped with the N-Com® B4 communication system, designed expressly for this new version. The N104 has been approved with the communication system installed &, therefore, complies with the UN/ECE 22-05 standard.
