Nexx is actually one of the youngest makes of motorcycle helmets. It made its first helmets in 2001. The company manufactures what one might term premium quality helmets, but at mid-market prices. The company is based in Portugal. Nexx is rightly proud of its testing and research facilities. The company designs and manufactures all of its helmets in-house. Their helmets feature carbon and special multi- composite fibres that offer strength, lightness and flexibility. Nexx has its own team of test riders, and in a year they destroy more than 1,500 helmets in internal and external tests.
