DescriptionThe whole story▼
Finding a race-bred helmet that wears as well at hour six of a long touring day as it does at the apex of a track chicane is rare. The Nolan X-804 RS Ultra Carbon in Gloss Puro 324 achieves exactly that — its LAF (Liner Adjustable Fitting) interior and 3D cheek pads cradle your head precisely, while the full ultra-carbon shell keeps the weight at a remarkably low 1,420 g (±50 g), so fatigue stays off the agenda wherever you are headed.
Key Features
- Ultra-carbon shell construction across four shell sizes (2XS through 3XL) delivers a close, precise fit with minimal excess bulk for every head shape.
- LAF (Liner Adjustable Fitting) interior system allows personal tuning of the fit, complemented by 3D cheek pads and a removable, washable, antibacterial lining in Sabbia (sand-beige).
- N.E.R.S. (Nolan Emergency Release System) enables rapid, safe helmet removal by first responders — a genuine safety advantage at the track or on the road.
- Eyewear Adaptive design makes the X-804 RS one of the few full-face race helmets genuinely comfortable for spectacle wearers throughout a full day's riding.
- Hydration system compatibility (camel bag ready) plus standard-fit wind deflector and breath guard keep long-haul comfort firmly in mind.
- ECE 22.06 certified — the most stringent European helmet safety standard currently in force.
Carbon Shell and Protection
The outer shell is constructed entirely from carbon fibre, shaped over four distinct sizes to keep the profile compact and the wall thickness consistent regardless of whether you ride in a 2XS or a 3XL. The multi-density EPS liner beneath is tuned to absorb energy progressively across a range of impact speeds, working in concert with the shell rather than against it. The result is a helmet that weighs 1,420 g (±50 g) — light enough to notice immediately when you lift it from the shelf, and lighter still once underway.
Race Aerodynamics — Wind-Tunnel Developed
Nolan subjected the X-804 RS to both real-world wind-tunnel testing and extensive CFD simulation before signing it off. The R.A.S. (Racetrack Aerodynamic Spoiler) manages airflow over the crown and shoulders to keep the helmet stable and planted at maximum speed, with no unwanted lift or oscillation. The R.A.F. (Racing Air Flow) ventilation system works in harmony with that aerodynamic architecture: inlets at the chin, forehead and crown channel air through the interior, and exhaust vents beneath the spoiler draw it out efficiently. Whether you are at a circuit or pressing hard on an open road, the X-804 RS keeps your head cool and your concentration unbroken.
Visor System
The kit ships with both a clear 3D street visor and a flat 2D race visor optimised for track-only use — scratch-resistant in both cases, with a wide field of view. A Pinlock MaxVision insert is included as standard, eliminating fogging without any additional purchase. The Safety Visor Lock System prevents the visor from cracking open unintentionally at speed, and the revised quick-release mechanism snaps shut with a positive, tactile click that confirms engagement every time.
Interior Comfort in Detail
The Sabbia-coloured interior sets a warm contrast against the gloss carbon exterior and is built with daily use in mind. All padding is removable and machine washable, treated to resist bacterial build-up over the long term. The chin strap closes with a traditional double-D ring — reliable and race-approved. Additional comfort provisions include a camel bag port for hydration on longer rides and the Eyewear Adaptive channel that prevents glasses arms from creating pressure points.
Design: Puro 324 — Carbon in Its Purest Form
Puro means purity, and the Gloss Puro 324 finish lives up to the name absolutely. The carbon weave is left unobscured by graphics or colour overlays, the gloss lacquer catching light as you move and shifting in character depending on angle and conditions. There is nothing superfluous here — the aesthetic is a direct expression of the engineering underneath it. If you want a helmet that speaks through quality of material rather than decoration, the Puro 324 is the specification to choose.

“Light, well made and four SHARP stars — but Nolan states plainly that it is not FIM homologated, and most race organisers will turn it away. As a fast track-day helmet it is a lot of carbon for the money; as a race helmet it is the wrong tool.”
