Nexx Xr2 lid

Hello all,

I've been on the hunt for a new lid for some time now, I was initially looking at the more trusted brands such as Arai & Shoei. Although I have now come across Nexx. After reading several reviews & videos it seems like a safe one to go for.

I was hoping some of you may have your own opinions which would help me out.

Thanks in advance

I went from a Shoei to a Nexx Carbon. Its a good helmet, well made and comfortable. The aperture is bigger than the Shoei giving better visibility when head down and to the sides as well. I'd buy another no problem.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it doesn't feel like you have one on but when I wore my Shoei for a ride out just because it was to hand, the difference was massive. The Shoei felt heavy and I couldn't see out of the top without tilting my head up.
Another good point with the Nexx is the venting, you can get plenty of air going through it but it seems to magically miss your eyes.

Would defo pick the xr1r tri composite over this one.

Just looks a lot nicer and has more going for it IMO

Treated myself to a new nexx XR2

Awesome helmet and recommend buying one

I called in to Moto Central UK in the midlands and the guys sorted me out. They have been selling Nexx for years so were well clued up on Nexx and other brands. Shop was great with a mix of helmets & clothing.

Here is a link to their site

Nexx may be good helmet, I would not by anything with so low SHARP safety rating though 3 stars only:
