[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Here’s the Nolan N87 helmet!” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Thanks to Can-Am\u2019s Women Mentorship Program<\/strong>, I had the chance to test Nolan\u2019s N87<\/strong> helmet this summer. They also lent me a Ryker for a test drive, which was an incredible experience: I encourage you to check out my video\u00a0<\/span><\/span>HERE<\/span><\/span><\/a>, where you\u2019ll also see the N87 in action!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14048″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The designers have thought of everything!” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]As you\u2019ll learn in the following paragraphs, the designers of this helmet built it with ultimate safety<\/strong> and comfort in mind, while also appreciating that consumers want a great-looking helmet<\/strong> without busting the piggy bank. Read on if you want to learn about my new favourite helmet!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span> <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14050″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Features:” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]This is an innovative polycarbonate full-face helmet<\/strong> that is\u00a0<\/span><\/span>both\u00a0<\/span><\/span>ECE<\/strong> and DOT certified<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>It\u2019s a high-quality helmet that is made in Italy.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”The visor” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The visor is\u00a0<\/span><\/span>ultra\u00a0<\/span><\/span>wide<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, and<\/span><\/span>\u00a0comes with a\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Pinlock<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00ae Fog-resistant inner visor<\/strong> with silicone-sealed profile.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0The N87<\/strong> even comes with a drop-down inner sun visor that boasts UV 400 protection<\/strong>. It\u2019s nice and dark \u2013 darker than many visors out there \u2013 meaning that squinting in the sun is a thing of the past. Thank you, Nolan!<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14046″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”An easy-to-scratch matte finish…” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Sadly<\/span><\/span>\u00a0for me, I let my helmet gently roll to the side within the first few days of owning it, and I was surprised at how easily it got scratched<\/strong>. I\u2019m told this is typical of matte finishes, so I would maybe recommend opting for a glossy version if you\u2019re clumsy like me.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14049″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The inner lining” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]I\u2019m really excited about the inner lining being fully removable and washable<\/strong>. This will certainly extend the life of my beloved helmet. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As an added bonus, the helmet is covered by a seven-year warranty<\/strong> from the date of manufacture;\u00a0<\/span><\/span>so<\/span><\/span>\u00a0I\u2019m confident that I have a high-quality piece of equipment that will follow me for ages.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14045″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Last but not least” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Though I appreciate the designers\u2019 intention when developing this helmet\u2019s ventilation features, I find that it makes for a helmet that slightly\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>more noisy<\/strong>\u00a0than I would like<\/strong>. In terms of the level of wind noise, it is slightly superior to my Icon\u00a0<\/span>Airmada<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>That being said, the overall quality of this helmet is outstanding<\/strong>, and as most reviews will tell you, it\u2019s not every day\u00a0<\/span>that\u00a0<\/span>you<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>stumble upon such excellent value at this kind of price point.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>If you\u2019re looking for a lightweight, breathable and great-looking helmet<\/strong>, look no further. The N87<\/strong> is an outstanding piece of equipment, and at a mere 307$ (on fortnine.ca<\/a>), the price will surely have you smiling through that extra-wide visor<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Thanks to Chicks And Machines<\/a> et Can-Am On Road<\/a> for the road test![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”\u00c9mi C” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Yesteryear%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=\"Here's the Nolan N87 helmet!\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:left\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_column_text]Thanks to Can-Am\u2019s…","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":14120,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1771],"tags":[2187,2582,2194,2068,2638,2639,2637,2640],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14115"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
