Nexx
"Safety First"
The Nexx Story
Nexx was founded in 1986 by German engineer Hans-Joachim Klinker in the town of Hagen, Germany. Originally established as a small family business specializing in motorcycle accessories, the company quickly pivoted to focus on high-performance helmets, leveraging Klinker's extensive background in automotive aerodynamics and safety testing. The brand gained immediate recognition for its innovative approach to shell design and impact absorption, setting itself apart from traditional manufacturers by prioritizing advanced materials science over mass-market trends.
Over the decades, Nexx has become a significant contributor to helmet safety standards, particularly within the European market. The company is renowned for developing the 'Nexx System,' which integrates multiple layers of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam with unique energy-dissipating structures to maximize protection during high-velocity impacts. Their rigorous testing protocols often exceed mandatory legal requirements, and they have been instrumental in pushing the industry toward stricter safety certifications like ECE 22.06, ensuring that riders benefit from cutting-edge protective technology.
