Nolan X-904 Ultra Carbon I-ESS Puro review: this ECE 22.06 full-face helmet adds integrated LED lighting to a carbon-fibre touring design. The light distinguishes this version from the standard X-904; it is also separate from the Quin crash-sensor model.

I-ESS lighting and visor equipment
The I-ESS feature is an integrated LED intended to increase the rider’s visibility. Check its operation and maintenance instructions before use; this guide does not make claims about battery runtime or lighting modes. The checked listing also includes a Pinlock insert pre-fitted to the clear visor and an adjustable internal sun visor.
Liner adjustment and communication choices
The Liner Adjustable Fitting system provides three padding thicknesses across four top-cap areas. Removable cheek-pad padding and the eyewear-adaptive design give additional fitting options. Try the actual helmet with your glasses if you wear them; an adjustable interior cannot guarantee that its shape suits every head.
N-Com Wireless Pro, N-Com Bluetooth+ and N-Com Mesh compatibility is listed. Check which communication kit, fittings and installation steps apply to the system you choose; the helmet’s compatibility alone does not establish that a kit is supplied.
Protection and construction
The listed approval is ECE 22.06. Check the exact helmet label and specification for the version you are buying, particularly if you need it for a track event.
Fit and adjustment
The chin-strap fastening is Double-D. Make sure you are comfortable operating that fastening and adjusting it securely before choosing the helmet.
Visor and visibility
The listing includes a Pinlock insert. Confirm the supplied visor and insert combination for your chosen version, especially if you are comparing differently priced graphics.
Comfort and everyday use
The interior is removable for cleaning. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions and refit the pads in their original positions.
