The Nexx X.TR helmet is a game-changer for long-distance riders, offering a plethora of features to enhance comfort and performance. But is it worth the hype?
Portuguese brand Nexx has unveiled its latest innovation, the X.TR sports-touring helmet. This cutting-edge headgear is packed with ingenious features, ensuring a smoother and safer ride over extended distances. One of its standout attributes is the anti-vibration EPS system, which employs a rubber layer to minimize the impact of air turbulence on the rider's head, providing a more stable and comfortable experience.
But here's where Nexx takes it a step further: the helmet's neck roll is designed to fit snugly, reducing wind noise and minimizing the wind's ability to infiltrate the helmet. This attention to detail is a rider's dream!
Ventilation is a key focus, with two front vents strategically placed to facilitate airflow through a chamber between the inner and outer EPS layers, ensuring efficient cooling. The result? A pleasant ride, even in hot conditions.
The interior is equally impressive, featuring a moisture-wicking fabric that can be quickly and easily removed for cleaning or emergency access. Plus, the ultra-wide visor and drop-down sun visor offer an expansive view and protection from the elements, while the 'Block and Seal' locking system and Pinlock 200 Max-Vision keep rain, wind, and fog at bay.
Style-wise, the X.TR sports a sleek look with aerodynamic angles and a small rear spoiler, reminiscent of the X.WST3. It's available in five designs, including three full carbon finishes, catering to various tastes.
As if that wasn't enough, the helmet is compatible with action camera mounts and the X.COMM intercom system, making it a tech-savvy rider's dream. And with prices starting at £329.99 for plain colors and £449.99 for full carbon finishes, it's an attractive package.
The MCN Verdict: Nexx's X.TR seems to tick all the boxes for long-distance riders, offering a comprehensive feature set at a competitive price. We can't wait to test it out and share our findings with you. But the real question is, will it live up to the expectations of avid riders? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
