Nexx XG100R Motorcycle Helmet Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The Nexx XG100R adds to the Nexx X Garage Range, giving added versatility to the already popular XG100 by adding the hinged visor mechanism. Now in stock and available at Urban Rider:
www.urbanrider....
It doesn't stop there though. Nexx have revised and improved the shell for 2018 as well as intorducing a new smaller shell size to allow a full size range from XS through to 2XL.
Nexx updated the already renowned XG100 and unveiled the XG100R. The R version is a more speed-hungry sibling to the XG100: Nexx has removed the peak and replaced the snap-on visor with a rotating shield with very effective anti-fog lens. It gives the whole a sleek, racy look that works amazingly well with the helmet's beefy chin bar. It weighs in at an impressively light 1200gr thanks to Nexx's proprietary X.Matrix shell (a composite of carbon, kevlar and fibreglass).

The Nexx XG100R together with the Premier Trophey, Bell Bullit, AGV x3000 and Shoei Glamster are among the most pleasant designs on the market.
I wish more of these retro-ish lids had vents on them
Right. Gdam that’s been irritating me in my search
@@MrAzahills shoei glamster
2 years of ownership.
Pros: light weight, good sound insulation, comfortable, solid shell
Cons: visor is too tiny (doesn't offer the best view), visor fixations always unscrews, too much fogging.
It's a good "beginner" helmet but well below the premium ones. The Shoei Glamster for example is a superior helmet.
Thanks for sharing Thomas!
Have this helmet since release and "visor fixations always unscrews" has never happened to me. Regarding the fogging didn't you get a free pinlock with yours? I did.
Waited 6 months to purchase this locally. Worth the wait. It's not the easiest to put on but the fabric is extremely comfy - makes you not want to take it off. Some say the sole front vent makes it hot and stuffy at times, but I didn't find it a bother (and I live in an area with a tropical climate). The air flow is adequate. Overall, I'm in love with my Jupiter Red version (bought a size L; my head circumference is 59-60 cm) and may consider getting another.
Thanks for the review, UrbanRider!
I heard these run small, was that your experience compared to other helmets? thx
All my helmets are and have been xl but putting on an xl of this helmet was difficult and bloody torture to remove I have ordered an xxl hopefully this will fit better
Just got this. Really hard to put on your head, but when it's on, feels comfy, fits well. It is a large shell. Noticably larger than Biltwell Bonanza helmets. Hope it will break in.
With the XG100 I find it a bit hard to look over my shoulder. The visibility from the visor is not that great. And at higher speeds, the visor shifts up.Hope it is all remedied with this new 'R' version
Would you be able to use the Interphone sports comm unit with this helmet ??
Cheers Brad
You ever find out an answer on this? Ive been trying to find info about it but cant
How is it going at 140 km/h ? I love it but I’m afraid that if I go fast, we wind will put my head back... thanks!
That sounds dangerously fast
@@UrbanRiderlondon140kmh is not fast on german autobahn 😂
I have a XG100 as second helmet and this coule be a daily helmet but how many position does the visor have ?
please let me know round centimeter your head with size M, because other brand helmet with 57-58 cm not fit on size M
If the head is in between sizes, should I go bigger or smaller?
Hi Andrew, do you know if any bluetooth comms unit will fit in this helmet?
It's not designed for it, but most comms are designed to be universal
How is the fit of this compared to the Bell Bullit? The Bullit is really snug with my chin like it barely fits. Will this one have more space in the chin area with the same shell size as compared to a Bullit?
Also I imagine it is quieter than the Bullit due to less vents, can you confirm that?
Thanks in advance!
Are there visors with UV protection? I've read a lot about this model in the web and I saw nothing about that.
How quiet is this helmet compared to the Gringo S at 100/120km/h? I get so much wind noise on my Gringo S 😫
Hi Cyril,
The XG100R has better sound-proof quality compare to the Gringo S.
Cheers,
Nick
UrbanRider.co.uk cheers Nick. I nearly bought it but then I discovered I can’t put in speakers (no pockets for it in the lining). Back to square one.
@@CyrilHelnwein is it really not possible to add speakers?
Cool lid, I almost went for the XG100, but I was put off looking like a bobble head. Do you think there will be a bubble shield released for this helmet?
Good question. I don't believe any bubble visors are planned for this season for the XG100R. Nexx still have some accessories to release for their new helmets but with the XG100R from what we have been shown it is only this one visor profile for now. I guess because the anti-fog system will only work with this kind of visor. If the helmet proves popular and lots of people want it then it'll probably be something for the season after. Nexx have been very good lately about listening to feedback and adapting. Cheers, Andrew
how is the air leakage from shield seal?
For a 'retro' style lid, it's as good as they come.
What's the jacket he's using while showcasing the helmet?
Hi Hugo, I'm afraid that this jacket has been discontinued for a while now but the brand is Merlin. You can find other jackets from their range here: www.urbanrider.co.uk/brands/merlin-motorcycle-clothing/jackets.html - Iza
In the thumb, which jacket is worn?
Are there comm set options?
I liked the XG100 because of the small shell size. Anyone know how larger shell size of the R model (LG-XXL) compares? Does the larger shell size mean its basically the same size as a standard (shoei or arai) helmet or does it still have a slim(er) profile?
Será muy ruidoso arriba de 100kmh ???
Is this helmet sena compatible?
I like the style of it. Just checking regarding the size of the shell it self compare to a biltwell gringo.Is it much bigger ( size small )?
It is bigger yes. The Gringo is probably the smallest shell in that size but it's not UK road legal. I'll be doing a video review soon comparing the models and their shell sizes (once the rest of the new range arrives!!)
UrbanRider.co.uk ..looking forward to that mate. I’m looking for a new retro style helmet that is ECE approve.
Very nice review, thank you !
Hi, great video! Love the helmet, but I really like the jacket you are wearing at 0:28, what jacket is that?
Thanks Nicklas. It's the Merlin Hamstall:

Hey in the thumbnail you were wearing a really nice shirt. Do you have the link for it?
Sure, it's the Merlin Atlow jacket:

Hi, I just bought the NEXX XG100 DEVON HELMET and I'm pretty sad because of the lack of screen like the new XG100R... Do you know if I can buy a new screen kit? in order to replace the vintage screen adding some new screw.
Thx for your reading, If i would have knew there was a new XG100R I would have bought it ! :)
I'm afraid not. There is no way to add a screw fixing to the standard XG100.
I have the same helmet, the devon XG100. Is not possible to add screw on it , however i bought a visor from "The Equilibrist" and is amazing
This helmet looks great! I wonder how loud it is.. Did you guys tried it on the road?
Yes I've tried it out. It's the quietest full face helmet in our retro range for sure. The visor is fairly thick compared to other models and it has a really good seal. It's hard to give you any particular figures to back it up but all I can say is it's pretty good in that respect. Cheers, Andrew
Thanks for the quick reply Andrew
I used to have a gringo S, awful loud, now I have a bell qualifier dlx and that is pretty loud too, still love it tho, i will likely replace it to this beauty if the fit is right.
Also the XG200 looks awesome, too bad that I already have a Bell moto3 for summer rides which I love, lol
You're very welcome. The XG200 is fantastic. Sadly the stock is not with us yet but we're hoping to get it in the next few weeks. I ride with a Moto 3 and there's not much in it compared with the XG200; they're both so good. All the best, Andrew
@@vilmos_csehi Hi me to I am using gringo s and after 110 km speed awful load. I love this helmet but I don't now how is it loud. I am thinking Shoei Glamster I will compare both of helmet.
@@Atacanomur Hi, did you compare them ? I don't know which one to choose. Thanks
Damn it...i wanted to see the helmet worn..like the preview..
27 seconds in, my man
1:11 if you can't wait.
Is this helmet noisy ?
Hi Sebastien, one of our colleagues has one and he says it's not too bad, he even says he finds the helmet quiet for him! - Iza
What shirt are you wearing in the thumbnail?
It's the new Merlin Atlow jacket in Navy:

Video review here:
ruclips.net/video/xNGF7D6ixZQ/видео.html
too bad they didn’t allow room for a comms unit, design fail
It's rarely the first thing in mind for retro helmets
Horrible-looking things. And I was impressed with the open face peak helmet I saw on here the other week.
I think they look great. F1 style
