Nolan N120-1 Frenesia 374, Modulær hjelm

Welcome to the next generation of modular versatility. The Nolan N120-1 is our very first “flip-back” helmet, designed for motorcycle enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on aerodynamics, safety, and comfort. Thanks to the chin section that rotates a full 180° backward over the helmet shell, Nolan is rewriting the rules of modular performance—and keeps handling perfectly balanced, whether the helmet is worn fully closed or open.

The perfected flip-back revolution

Perfect balance at high speeds: Unlike conventional modular helmets, which create a “sail effect” when open, the 180° flip-back design neatly tucks the chin section behind the helmet shell. This significantly reduces drag, minimizes strain on the neck, and maintains an aerodynamic profile even on long highway stretches.

Dual Certification (P/J): Ride with complete peace of mind. The N120-1 is legally certified to be worn both as a protective full-face helmet (P) and as an open-face jet helmet (J), and adapts instantly to changes in environment and weather.

Effortless “Dual Action” Opening: Designed for practical comfort, the patented Dual Action chin bar system uses a secure dual-lever mechanism that allows for smooth one-handed operation and prevents accidental opening.

Smart Integration: Stay connected. The N120-1 is fully compatible with N-Com systems and integrates seamlessly into the helmet shell to preserve the helmet’s clean lines and low noise levels.

Break through the limits of traditional modular riding. The Nolan N120-1 epitomizes modern functionality, premium safety, and impeccable Italian style for today’s motorcyclists.

P/J Certification

All Nolan flip-up helmets are tested and certified as both “P” full-face helmets and “J” open-face helmets.

Although this is not standard for all flip-up helmets available on the market, this dual homologation ensures safe use in both configurations and offers riders true versatility without compromise.

Ultra-Wide Shield

The Ultra-Wide shield offers an expanded field of view for greater visibility and a more open riding experience.

Made from high-quality polycarbonate, Nolan shields are manufactured in-house to ensure consistently high optical clarity and durability.

Pinlock® Anti-Fog Inner Shield

Included depending on the model. Thanks to the patented adjustment system, the tension of the Pinlock® inner shield can be adjusted from the outside of the shield without having to remove it. The Full Silicone Border (FSB) not only enlarges the air chamber between the helmet’s exterior and interior, further reducing the risk of fogging, but also minimizes the risk of scratches on the shield.

VPS Sunshield

The integrated VPS sunshield offers adjustable sun protection with 4 or 5 positions and UV protection up to 400 nm. It is made of pre-tinted polycarbonate and ensures long-lasting color fastness and durability, complemented by anti-fog and scratch-resistant treatments. Some models feature Nolan’s patented automatic retraction system for quick retraction.

N-Series lining

The N-Series lining is designed for everyday comfort and uses a soft, breathable fabric made from recycled polyamide to support temperature management and a consistently good fit.

The choice of materials reflects a more conscious approach without compromising performance. The open mesh structure improves airflow within the helmet, while the removable padding and the LPC system allow for easy adjustment of the fit to suit different riding conditions and preferences.

One-Piece Cheek Pads

The foam-based inner padding of the cheek pads is designed to provide more even pressure and consistent performance over time compared to conventional pads. The padding can also be removed from the fabric covers to facilitate washing.

“Clima Comfort” Inner Padding

A new concept featuring inner padding made of micro-perforated, dual-density fabric. Combined with the “AirBooster Technology” upper ventilation system, it distributes air across the upper part of the rider’s head. The neck roll is removable, washable, and adjustable, making it easy to adapt to the rider’s head shape and to the various adjustments required for different riding positions.

LPC – Liner Positioning Control

LPC allows the position of the inner shell to be adjusted in multiple configurations.

This allows riders to precisely fine-tune the helmet’s fit and achieve a more accurate and comfortable position on the head.

Molded recess for the cheek pads in the polystyrene

The helmet features a molded recess for the inner fabric cheek pads in the polystyrene, which enables a more precise adjustment of the inner fabric cheek pads. This fairing, which gives the product a high-quality finish, also serves as a mount for the earpieces of the N-Com communication system.

Eyewear Adaptive System

The Eyewear Adaptive System was developed to create space inside the helmet for eyeglasses.
It improves comfort for riders who wear eyeglasses by reducing pressure in the temple area.

Air Booster Technology

AirBooster Technology is Nolan’s ventilation system featuring integrated channels in the EPS inner shell that direct airflow through the helmet.

Fresh air is channeled from the front and top air intakes to the rear air outlets, enabling targeted ventilation and efficient cooling.

Elliptical Chin Bar Rotation (patented)

The elliptical rotation of the chin bar allows the overall size of the front part of the helmet to be reduced to a minimum when the chin bar is open. This significantly reduces the “sail” effect and ensures riding comfort even with the chin bar raised.

Dual Action (patented)

Dual Action is Nolan’s safety opening system for flip-up helmets. Its dual-lever mechanism allows for controlled, one-handed operation and helps reduce the risk of accidental opening.

The system is designed to ensure consistent handling in everyday use—combining ease of use with an additional level of safety.

Microlock2

Microlock2 is Nolan’s advanced micrometric retention system, designed for quick and precise closure. Compared to the previous Microlock version, it offers finer adjustment increments and a more compact design, enabling a more precise and comfortable fit—for a secure hold combined with smooth and easy everyday use.

Prepared for the N-COM Communication System

N-Com is developed in conjunction with Nolan helmets and is not simply added through retrofitting.

Helmets prepared for N-Com are tested and certified with the communication system already installed, which helps maintain comfort, aerodynamics, and compliance with standards.
