Up to 6 pilots, Dom Herbertson, Paul Jordan, Andrea Majola, Stefano Bonetti, Erno Kostamo and Patrick Hoffthey are the protagonists of a new and incredible adventure on the island of Man, in which the Nolan X-804 high-end will wear. They will do it in a race that does not resemble any other. A legendary event that challenges time, to the value and any conventional idea of motorcycling.
It is the Tourist Trophy, which runs every year on the island of Man: a sacred place for those who live motorcycling as a pure spirit of freedom, speed and tradition. And this is where Nolan has decided to renew, authentically and consistent with its strategy, its deep connection with the world of careers.
The Nolan X-804 will be a maximum protagonist in the urban circuit of Snaefell
In the 2025 edition, which has begun this week and will last until June 7, six exceptional pilots, including the two new participants Dom Herbertson and Paul Jordan, will go on the track with the X-804, the high-end hull of the Nolan Speeding line, symbol of artisanal excellence and vision of competition.
The Tourist Trophy, which is disputed in the Snaefell mountain circuit, 61 kilometers, is not just a race: it is a ritual. A stage in which the connection with the road is real, rough, visceral. In this context, Nolan finds a connection with the public and with the values of motorcycling: passion, courage, tradition, authenticity.
On the island of Man, it is not just the speed that makes the difference. It is the ability to face an unpredictable path, where the sun and rain, light and shadow can alternate in the time of a curve, where the pilot circulates between impressive straight and sinuous sections in which each control millimeter is essential.
In this context, the X-804 is not only confirmed as an accessory capable of guaranteeing maximum protection and performance, but becomes a true ally to live two weeks at full speed, thanks to the combination of technology, aerodynamic research, quality materials and comfort.
Dom HerbertsonEnglish, known face of the Paddock of the TT, is one of those pilots who combine pure talent with an unwavering passion for road races. Authentic, determined, charismatic: he is an ideal ambassador to Nolan’s spirit. Beside him, Paul Jordan, Irish, a young promise of the road, the protagonist already of excellent performances in previous editions and winner of the recent North West 200, provides freshness, technique and a modern vision of the competition.
Dom Herbertson comments: “As a child I have only wanted to run in a motorcycle. I love the Tourist Trophy. The really exciting thing is when you reach the exit line: you concentrate, you are calm with your heart starting to pump at full speed and you think about what awaits you for the next 15 minutes.”
Concludes: “The route is very long and the best part is Bray Hill, an steep downstream between Douglas and Ramsey. I know the heart, the motorcycle crushes, zumba, the shock absorbers are butt, so much that the curb is carried in front of the barefers of the motorcycles, it is a sensation of madness. Every year I change the graphics of the helmet and this year for my nolan x-804 Cheshire, because everyone goes to him and asks for advice on what to do and how to do it.
For its part Paul Jordan has said: “The TT is a challenge to yourself. It is the two best weeks of your life, to live them to the limit. You cannot run to the mountain saying that you are not afraid, that is nonsense. You have to be afraid, to overcome your fear. Running in a motorcycle on those roads is like a bet, a dice circulation. You know you are living something incredible. The most exciting part for me is Ramsay’s exit, it is a really magical section, it is a really magic picturesque. “
Concludes: “I am looking forward to my Nolan X-804. His graphics remind those who used when I competed in the British championship. At that time, my teammate painted the helmets and drew a pink star on the side. I have kept faithful to that graphic, but I wanted something to distinguish me, so for the color of the helmet I chose the yellow.”
