Choosing the right Nitro helmet
Helmet style decides your protection and comfort before fit ever comes in. Full face shells like the Nitro N670 wrap the chin bar around your jaw for the highest coverage. Modular shells such as the F160 flip up so you can talk, drink or refuel without removing the lid. Open face shells like the X100 and X606V leave the face exposed for airflow on slower rides.
| Style | Chin bar | Coverage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full face (N670, N700) | Fixed | Highest | Highway, sport, all-weather |
| Modular (F160) | Flip-up | High | Touring, commuting |
| Open face (X100, X606V) | None | Partial | Cruiser, urban, scooter |
| Off-road / adventure | Peaked | High | Trail, dual-sport |
Fit and sizing facts
A correct helmet sits snug with zero pressure points. Measure your head circumference in mm around the widest point, roughly 25mm above the eyebrows. Most adult shells run from 53cm (XS) through to 64cm (XXL) in 2cm steps. A new helmet loosens about 15 to 20 percent as the comfort liner beds in, so the cheek pads should press firmly on day one. Replace any helmet around 5 years from first use, or immediately after an impact. Carbon shells cut weight while holding shell rigidity, easing neck fatigue on rides over 2 hours.
How helmet ratings sit beside garment certs
Helmet safety is graded by impact standards, while your jacket and pants follow EN 17092 abrasion classes (AAA, AA, A) with CE Level 1 or CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. CE Level 2 absorbs more impact energy than CE Level 1, and AAA garments resist abrasion longer than AA or A. Pair a full face Nitro lid with EN 17092 rated kit for complete coverage.
Frequently asked questions
What helmet styles does Nitro make?
Nitro covers full face shells like the N670 and N700, the F160 flip-up modular, X-series open face lids such as the X100 and X606V, plus adventure and off-road designs. Finishes include satin and gloss, with carbon construction in the range.
How do I size a Nitro helmet correctly?
Measure your head circumference in mm around the widest point, about 25mm above your eyebrows, then match it to the size chart. Adult shells typically run 53cm to 64cm in 2cm steps. The fit should feel snug on day one because the liner loosens 15 to 20 percent as it beds in.
Is a modular Nitro helmet as protective as a full face?
A full face like the N670 keeps a fixed chin bar for the highest coverage. The F160 modular flips up for convenience at stops and locks down for riding, so it suits touring and commuting where you want both protection and the option to lift the front.
