{"product_id":"nexx-y-100r-subsonic-black-gold-full-face-helmet","title":"Nexx Y.100R Subsonic Black Gold Full-Face Helmet","description":"\u003cp\u003eGold on black is the most expensive-looking finish in an affordable range, and that is entirely deliberate. It is the version that borrows its visual language from helmets three times the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe SHARP rating this helmet does \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e have\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Two helmets, two names, one letter apart. \u003cstrong\u003eY100\u003c\/strong\u003e is SHARP-rated at five stars — August 2025, ECE 22.06, 1.6 kg, sizes XS–XL. \u003cstrong\u003eY.100R\u003c\/strong\u003e — this one — has no SHARP entry at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are separate models and the rating does not carry across. Everything else on this page is documented; that one figure simply does not exist for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Subsonic Black Gold graphic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold works against black for the same reason it works against carbon: it is the one accent colour with a value far enough above a dark ground to create real contrast without introducing a competing hue. On the Subsonic's angular shapes it traces the direction of the graphic cleanly rather than filling areas, which is why the effect reads as detailing rather than as a paint job. 🔵 It is also the version most likely to look dated if gold falls out of fashion — the monochrome Fade will not. Conspicuity is low: gold is a small-area accent, and the ground is black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and dual-EPS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Compare this against a composite helmet honestly. The Y.100R is heavier than a fibreglass equivalent and considerably heavier than carbon — and it costs a fraction of either. That is the trade, and for a rider doing an hour a day it is usually the right one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShell: Polyfusion thermoplastic, two outer sizes, dual-EPS liner, four market approvals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eX-SWIFT — a visor change in under eight seconds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 A note on tinted visors and the law. Fixed dark visors are not road-legal at night or in poor visibility in most European countries, and the rules differ between them. On this helmet the question largely disappears — the internal sun visor handles glare behind a clear outer visor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth supplied visors are clear, and one carries a Pinlock 70 MaxVision lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sun visor and its glove-friendly button\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sun shield mechanism is the part of a helmet most likely to develop a rattle, and an externally operated one is easier to check and clean than a recessed slider. Nexx's sits on the shell where you can reach it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The shield filters 99 % of UV and retracts fully out of the field of view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDouble-blade spoiler and how quiet it measures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo riders will describe the same helmet completely differently, and neither will be wrong: height, riding position, screen and shoulder airflow change the result more than the shell does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The one comparable figure is the measured one: around \u003cstrong\u003e100 dB at 130 km\/h\u003c\/strong\u003e, scored \u003cstrong\u003e4 out of 5\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo intakes, and a zero-degree measurement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Ventilation and noise usually pull against each other: openings that let air in also let sound in. Scoring 4\/5 on both suggests the intake shaping is genuinely well resolved rather than merely adequate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system is two intakes and two exhausts, working with a dual-EPS internal air path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, retention and fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWashing the interior is worth doing more often than most riders do. Sweat breaks down foam over time, and a liner washed a few times a season lasts appreciably longer than one that never is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 On the Y.100R everything comes out by hand: cheek pads, crown pad, neck roll and chin-strap covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAround 1.6 kilograms, and the rest of the honest list\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Weight matters most at the end of a long day and least in the first ten minutes, which is why it is the specification most often underweighted when buying. At around \u003cstrong\u003e1.6 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Y.100R is a commuting and weekend helmet rather than a touring one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClaimed 1575 g ±50; measured 1617 g in size M.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits in Nexx's range\u003c\/h3\u003e\nBuying the plain Fullblack rather than a graphic saves money and changes nothing else — same shell, same visor system, same sun visor, same spoiler, same approvals.\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 That is worth knowing if the budget is tight: the difference between the cheapest and the most expensive Y.100R is entirely paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComms, camera and spare parts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenuine parts matter more on a helmet than on most things, because the visor and the retention system are part of what was certified to ECE 22-06.
