Nexx X.R3R Ziger Carbon Grey Gold Full-Face Racing Helmet

The Nexx X.R3R Ziger in Carbon Grey Gold is one of those rare helmets where the design story and the engineering story are equally compelling. Exposed carbon weave forms the foundation, its natural texture contrasted by precisely applied grey panels and lustrous gold accents — a finish that carries genuine visual identity whether you are on the grid or carving through mountain passes. Beneath that striking shell lies a race-developed X-PRO carbon construction and a suite of aerodynamic and ventilation technologies that make the Ziger a serious piece of performance kit, not merely a handsome one.

Key Features

• X-PRO carbon shell composed of over 60% carbon fibre — exceptional rigidity at a weight of approximately 1,350 g ± 50 g, reducing fatigue on long stints and quick circuits alike
• Race-optimised aerodynamic spoiler profile engineered to achieve near-zero dynamic lift at speed, delivering a stable, planted feel even at motorway and track velocities
• Air Dynamic System with 6 intake vents, 4 exhaust ports and Speed-Flow chin ventilation — vibration-optimised air channels move heat and moisture away efficiently
• Wide-aperture visor with scratch-resistant Lexan-PC coating and the tool-free X-LOCK magnetic fastener for rapid, gloved visor changes
• ECE 22-06 certified safety structure — multi-layer energy-absorbing liner, secure Double-D-Ring chin strap and Emergency Strap System for fast cheek-pad removal by first responders
• X-Mart Dry interior lining — fully removable and washable, breathable, antibacterial fabric that dries twice as fast as conventional liners
• Three shell sizes across the XS–XXL range for a genuinely proportionate fit at every head circumference

Design Heritage: Carbon Meets Grey and Gold

The Ziger colourway draws its character from the interplay of three distinct visual elements. Raw carbon weave — left visible rather than painted over — gives the shell depth and a sense of honest construction. Carefully bounded grey zones add order and sophistication, while the gold detailing lifts the whole composition into something that reads as premium from any angle. It is a colour combination that references the visual language of factory race teams without resorting to garish graphics, making it as at home on a café run as on a closed circuit.

Aerodynamics and Ventilation

The X.R3R's shell profile was shaped with computational fluid dynamics in mind. The integrated rear spoiler works in concert with the helmet's overall volume to reduce turbulence and buffeting, and the near-zero dynamic weight figure at high speed means the rider experiences minimal neck strain even during sustained hard riding. The Air Dynamic System complements this: six carefully positioned intake vents draw fresh air across the rider's head, while four exhaust ports and the vibration-tuned internal channels expel warm air continuously. The Speed-Flow chin vent adds targeted airflow exactly where heat accumulates most during spirited riding.

Visor and Visibility

Nexx fitted the X.R3R with a wide-aperture visor that maximises peripheral awareness — a meaningful advantage both on circuit, where early apex identification matters, and on the road, where hazard detection at the edges of vision is a safety priority. The Lexan-PC scratch-resistant coating maintains optical clarity over the helmet's service life, and the X-LOCK magnetic closure means the visor can be operated cleanly with gloved hands, seating firmly without rattling at speed.

Safety

The X.R3R carries ECE 22-06 certification — the current European standard — and its multi-layer internal structure is engineered to manage and absorb impact energy across a range of collision scenarios. The Double-D-Ring chin strap is the proven benchmark closure for road and race use. The Emergency Strap System allows paramedics and first responders to remove the cheek pads rapidly without moving the rider's head, an important feature that is increasingly standard on serious helmets.

Interior Comfort

The X-Mart Dry lining uses breathable, antibacterial fabrics that manage moisture twice as fast as conventional helmet liners. Ergonomic pressure-relief shaping reduces fatigue across the contact points, and the entire interior — cheek pads and crown liner — removes completely for machine washing. Three shell sizes across the range mean the lining's fit characteristics are not compromised by excessive padding to compensate for an oversized shell.

Size Guide

If your measurement falls between two sizes, select the larger size for the more comfortable fit.
