A Casey replica at last

Now you can wear Casey Stoner’s colours with the Nolan/X-Lite X-602 (X-Lite is the premium/racing branch of the Nolan group).

The helmets are 100 per cent Italian made quality with a five-year warranty. The shell is made of hi-tech composite fibres - glass, carbon, Kevlar, polyvinyl and epoxy resins – and hand laid for optimum shell weight and shock absorption. There are three shell sizes for better fit and to provide ideal helmet weight, size and aerodynamic drag.

The helmets feature Casey's legendary graphic and there is also a limited edition Phillip Island replica (see picture) that is limited to a total of only 200.

The helmet has Nolan's other features such as the fully removable Clima Comfort liner, derived from their race team. Its hypoallergenic micro fibre fabric and sanitising treatment ensures breathability, sweat expulsion and longer lasting fit. It has dual air intakes with multiple internal channels to reduce local cooling and a rear extraction vent for efficient hot air removal. It has a high-quality GE Lexan scratch-resistant visor with UV400 protection and a built-in visor mechanism to prevent opening at high speeds.

Sizes range from XS to XXL and the Stoner Replica helmets cost from $649 (other graphics and plain helmets will follow). If your bike shop doesn’t have them, contact Ron Angel Wholesale on 03 9464 3366.
