NIC N02 full face helmet

The shop checked the rear label and found ECE 22.06 with the Quatest mark, the reference points of a certified helmet on the piece sold. The NIC brand page also publishes ECE R 22.06 for the N02. Unboxing, the shop noted a fabric bag, a washable liner and speaker pockets. On the actual piece the shop counted 2 intake vents, 2 exhaust vents and a photochromic outer visor with 2 notches. No Pinlock or separate sun visor in the box.

The standard grades the helmet under regulated test conditions. It does not promise to remove every injury on the road.

The NIC page lists a photochromic visor as standard, and the shop confirmed the outer visor shifts tint on the actual piece. At dawn or in weak light it stays pale so the road reads clearly. As the sun climbs, the surface darkens gradually, so there is no stopping to swap visors or add sunglasses. The shop notes a compact cut suited to women or small-headed men. The carbon shell, per the NIC page, keeps the helmet light on the head, easing neck strain on longer rides for smaller riders.

The NIC page lists a metal MicroLock buckle, handy while gloves stay on: fasten one-handed, pull one extra notch to tighten the strap. The liner comes out per the shop's check, so wash it after a trip and let it dry, keeping sweat from carrying into the next ride. The shop found speaker pockets, ready for an SCS intercom when the group needs to talk. Cables and speakers still need tidy placement so nothing presses around the ears.

Pick the N02 when you want a carbon full-face with a photochromic outer visor and a compact oval fit. It aims at women or small-headed men who ride through changing light.

For round heads, BigBike lists the NIC N01 at 6.800.000đ. The shop notes its round interior.

The shop's try-on on a 57 cm head came out tight, so the size chart is only a starting point. Try the helmet on directly and check the pressure points before deciding.
