The Shoei NXR is one of the best road-going helmets you can buy. Small, lightweight, well ventilated, and at a great price point, its popularity with motorcyclists was massive, and now it’s even better with the NXR2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s an evolution of the existing NXR rather than a rip-it-up-and-start-again job, but that’s no bad thing because the NXR is an excellent and very popular helmet already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big and most noticeable changes are in the visor and the ventilation, but one major change will probably be invisible to most of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helmet meets a new safety standard that will supersede our existing one in Europe. This is the first helmet we’ve tested that meets ECE 22.06. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new standard will be phased in over to replace 22.05, which has been in place since 2000. The NXR 2 seems slightly bigger than the outgoing NXR because extra protection material is needed to meet the new test standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
