Why Nexx’s latest lid is named after the phonetic spelling of an albino chicken isn’t made clear, but what the PR does emphasise is that the Portuguese brand is keen to further refine its jet helmet range. The Y.10 is EC 22.06 accredited thanks to its highly impact resistant Polyfusion shell, which is available in two sizes. The Lexan visor has been made longer and wider to improve peripheral vision – essential for the urban commuter the helmet is aimed at, and there is a tinted drop-down sun visor to protect against glare. The removable and washable liner is both antibacterial and anti-sweat treated and it has channels for glasses-wearers. Finally, the Y.10 is equipped to take a Bluetooth comms system with speakers up to 45mm. It comes in sizes XXS-XXL in a range of colours and graphics with prices starting from £119.99.
