Nexx X.WED 2 Plain Helmet

Comfortable, nice fit for Asians. However sun visor is a bit too small. Ventilation is good even in hot climate like Singapore.

This helmet is really good and well build very comfy and looks really cool. The only thing annoys me is it is a bit heavier than usual helmets. After wearing it for a while, my neck really started getting fatigued

This the 2nd Generation Nexx X com helmet (X-Com communicator ready) from the Portugese manufacturer with a std 2 year warranty extended to 5. I ordered the silver but they shipped the Grey. Can be configured in 3 modes; Adventure style with peak & visor, Street style with peak removed, dirt style with visor and/or peak removed for use with goggles. Comes with cable operated built in sun visor that extends for full coverage with a detent at the fully extended position (other brands that use springs often become problematic with miles/use & dirt/sand exposure + it looks like Nexx integrated some type of seal around the slider mechanism to keep out water/winf noise...was a concern because of the lever upper side mount location), 3 go pro mounting plates, an ergo foam fit kit, an adjustable peak & a peak extension that slides forward & back 1.5 cm providing the best sun-blocking capability of any helmet so far, optional side covers if the visor is removed to use goggles, a fully perforated chin vent cover for increased flow to replace the solid vent cover, removable chin curtain, emergency cheek pad removal design + meets ECE/22-05, DOT and NBR-7471:2001 safety standards, longer than normal chin strap with locater snap & cutouts for in helmet speakers.

Comes with a pinlock ready optically correct Lexan visor with wide field of vision + pinlock insert for anti-fogging. Has 3, three position intake top vents, 4 rear exhaust vents & a 2 position chin vent (w/foam filter) that can be exchange for a fully vented cover.

Design is goggle friendly with or without visor removal & has design to hold strap in place at the back. Has optically correct cable operated 80% dark sun shade visor.

Exterior is a rubberized metallic material, as is the peak for a very tactile grippy feel, but is difficult to remove stains from. Peak/visor removal via tool-less design. The visor is sturdy, with minimal flex, opening & closing with either the front or left side raised tab easily & has 4 well defined stop detents, but as with many helmets lacks a proper anti-fog stop position just cracked open, although it can be positioned slightly off the seal by pushing it up from the snapped shut position....the included pinlock should help though. Have not ridden in rain or cold temps yet.

Interior is high quality material with padded, anit-bacterial liner/fabric & reflective piping, 2 of the liner snaps initially needed to be firmly pressed in place . There is room for improvement with the snap system used to hold the chin curtain, cheek pads & liner in place...they can pop out of place too easily. Easy on/off, no curled ears, even with chin curtain installed.

Have ridden 2k kms & has a balanced, premium/quality feel & fit, is noticeably quieter than my 3/4 face Arai CT-Z (1,564 grams) & only slightly heavier at 1,650 grams! Nexx utilizes 3 shell sizes for better fitment (XXS-S / M-L / XL-XXXL). The medium fit my 58 cm intermediate to long oval well, similar to my Arai & most other helmets, so will say it fits true to size. I hear less wind noise & more of the tires, motor & exhaust with the visor open, noticeably less with it closed...with the visor closed & the top vents in the full open position there is a little booming, which lessens closing them to the 1st open position & goes away with the vents fully closed. The redesigned peak & ventilation work very well (rode 3 days in 40 celcius/104 farenheight) with no lift & very little side pull when standing up above the windshield & looking around....I ride behind a Puig Touring windscreen (that is 5" taller than OEM) on my 2014 S10. Very pleased with it so far!
