Nexx has launched a new sport-touring helmet, the Y.100R Urbangram (not to be confused with the Y.100 we covered in the August issue of BDN). So what does that all-important extra R get you? Well the shell is moulded from thermoplastic with Polyfusion technology and has been aerodynamically shaped with a double-blade rear spoiler to minimise turbulence. The visor aperture is wider and the X-Swift quick release fitting system claims to allow the visor to be swapped over in under eight seconds – ideal for the petrol station pit stop. It’s also equipped with a Pinlock 70 anti-fog insert and a drop-down sunvisor.
The interior is finished off with hypo-allergenic and antibacterial X-Mart Dry fabric, and is kept cool with extra-large vents in the chin and crown which guide air through the EPS liner to the rear exhaust ports. Tech isn’t forgotten, as the Y.100R is designed to accept a Nexx X-Com3 comms system and also comes with a removable side mount for a Go-Pro action camera.
The Urbangram graphics come in three colours – indigo blue, neon black and Nardo grey – and a spare iridium or tinted visor is included in the box. It comes in sizes XS-XXL for an SRP of £199.99.
