There are helmets that fulfill their function and others that also fit with the way we use the motorcycle on a daily basis. He Nolan N20-2 belongs to that second group: “It is light in concept, open, easy to use and designed to accompany both regular trips and those short getaways in which the scooter is no longer just a means of transportation”.
As we all know, urban mobility has its own demands. Frequent stops, traffic lights, temperature changes, traffic, relatively short journeys and a very different use than what we do with the motorcycle on the road. AND Nolan has raised the N20-2 precisely around that stage.
This model represents an evolution of the N21one of the most recognized jets of the Italian brand, and maintains its open hull philosophy, but introduces a series of solutions designed to make everyday use easier. It is made in Italy, specifically in Brembate di Sopra, and uses a high-resistance Lexan polycarbonate shell. Furthermore, the range is structured in two versions: the N20-2 and the N20-2 Scope.
And here appears one of the main attractions of the concept: it does not try to turn a jet into a full-face helmet. It deliberately maintains that feeling of freedom and breadth of vision that those who use this type of helmet look for, but adds solutions that make a lot of sense when the daily journey is made between streets, traffic and constant changes in light.
Nolan N20-2: Ventilation, a key point when the heat arrives
In the city, especially during the hot months, ventilation can make a considerable difference. Urban trips involve spending a good part of the time at moderate speeds, precisely when the natural air flow we receive on the motorcycle is less.
So, the N20-2 incorporates technology AirBooster and an adjustable ventilation system with top air inlet and rear extractor. The interior also uses a recycled polyamide fabric made in Italy and an open mesh structure that promotes air circulation in the upper area. The interior pads are removable and washable, another especially interesting detail when we talk about a helmet that can be used practically daily.
It is also practical for those who wear glasses. The system Adaptive Eyewear It makes it easier to put on and adjust the helmet when wearing sunglasses or prescription glasses, something so everyday in the city that it ends up being one of those details that are valued the most.
Two versions for two ways of understanding a jet
The most obvious difference between the two variants of the N20-2 It is precisely in the “front protection.” He N20-2 incorporates a VPS sun visor integrated and adjustable, which allows you to quickly reduce glare when the sun appears from the front. It can be adjusted to three positions, so that the user can find the position that best suits their face and the lighting conditions.
He N20-2 Scope It goes a step further with a “large Ultrawide outdoor screen.” It has an anti-scratch treatment and incorporates vortex generators on the edge to reduce noise when driving with it open. In addition to offering greater coverage against wind, rain and insects, it maintains the open character of the helmet, but with significantly greater frontal protection.
This version also incorporates the so-called Helmet Lock Ringa solution designed for those common moments in the city when we arrive at our destination and don’t want to carry the helmet: it allows you to attach it directly to the motorcycle or scooter in complete safety.
Nolan N20-2 technology
The technological equipment of the N20-2 Nor does it intend to turn it into a showcase for unnecessary solutions. Connectivity has a very clear objective: “make the life of the motorcyclist easier”. Both the N20-2 like him N20-2 Scope are prepared and certified for communication systems N-Com Bluetooth+ and N-Com Meshso they can be integrated with Nolan communication solutions to use navigation, music or calls while driving.
The closure Microlock2 completes the set with a quick and easy-to-use system, something especially useful when the helmet comes and goes on and off the head several times during the day. And, for those looking for extra visibility, both models are prepared for the ESS III systeman emergency sign that can increase the motorist’s presence in front of the rest of the traffic during certain situations.
Just because it is an urban area, open and designed for daily trips does not mean that Nolan has left security in the background. He N20-2 is approved according to the UNECE R22.06 regulationsthe current homologation standard that we find in the current range of Nolan. As we mentioned before, the Lexan polycarbonate shell is combined with a multi-density EPS inner layer and the retention system. Microlock2.
In other words, we are looking at a jet designed to offer the freedom and field of vision characteristic of this type of helmet, but developed under the most current homologation requirements.
Nolan N20-2: Design comes into play
It is probably in this section where the N20-2 It distances itself further from the typical conception of an urban area. Nolan has worked on aesthetics as an important part of the product. The 2026 collection offers a considerable variety of decorations and finishes, from very discreet proposals to much more striking color combinations. In it N20-2 we find decorations like Dolce Vita, Polychrome, Vice versa, Zephyr, Classic noble either Classicwhile the N20-2 Scope expands the possibilities even further with proposals such as Tricolor, impetus either Block.
The actual manufacturing of the decorations is carried out in Brembate di Sopra, where Nolan Work with different layers of paint and pigments to achieve the different shiny, matte or metallic finishes of the collection. It is a feature that may seem secondary until we think about how we use a motorcycle or scooter in the city. The helmet stops being just an element of protection and also becomes part of our image for a good part of the day. And, as we see, in that field the N20-2 plays his cards clearly.
He N20-2 It is not intended to convince the motorcyclist who is looking for a helmet for everything. Your approach is different. It is designed for those who move mainly around the city, for those who use a scooter to go to work, study or run errands and for those who especially value the ease of use of a jet helmet.
Also for those who simply prefer to feel the air and maintain a wide field of vision while driving. And that’s probably the most interesting thing about it. N20-2: It’s not trying to be sophisticated just for the sake of it. Its equipment is designed around routine.
He N20-2 It is available in sizes from 2XS to 2XL and, depending on the version and decoration, the range offers different finishes and color combinations. The weight is approximately 1,200 gramsalthough it may vary depending on size and configuration.
The current Nolan Spain collection places the price of the N20-2 from 179.99 euroswhile the N20-2 Scope part of 199.99 euros. The most elaborate decorations can raise the price to 229.99 or 259.99 euros.
