NEXX’s 25th anniversary is more than a corporate milestone. It marks the moment when a brand born in a small Portuguese village proved that innovation, engineering and foresight can develop a global presence in more than 60 countries. Held in Amoreira da Gândara, the festival brought together partners, riders, distributors, media and employees from around the world, highlighting the international reach achieved by the company since 2001.
NEXX’s journey has been defined by continuous growth. What started as a modest industrial operation has become a European benchmark for premium helmets, driven by technological advances, advanced design and a philosophy focused on rider safety. Over 25 years, the brand has transformed precision engineering into products designed to deliver safety, comfort and emotion on every ride.
The event also honored the leadership behind this trajectory. Helder Loureiro, Founder and CEO, was recognized as the driving force behind the ambition to push the boundaries and redefine what a premium helmet can be. His commitment to innovation and industrial excellence remains the foundation of the company’s future.
One of the highlights of the evening was an exclusive preview of NEXX’s next racing helmet, the X.R5R. The pre-launch showcased the technological direction the brand intends to pursue: advanced materials, refined aerodynamics and a clear focus on performance. The X.R5R was presented not just as a product, but as a strategic statement for the brand’s next chapter.
The celebration also highlighted the global community that supports NEXX’s growth. The Partner Awards recognized distributors and partners who have excelled in areas such as service, support and market development. A special Lifetime Achievement honor recognizes professionals who have dedicated their careers to motorcycling and are now entering retirement, acknowledging their passion and long-lasting contributions to the industry.
The ultimate message was clear: NEXX is more than a brand – it is a global family united by a shared passion for motorcycling. As it celebrates 25 years, the company reaffirms its commitment to innovation, advanced technologies and industrial capability, preparing new developments that reinforce its mission of protecting riders with premium products that combine performance, technology and design.
This anniversary is not just a moment for reflection, but a true starting point for the future. NEXX is entering its next phase with the same ambition that brought it here: to continue to grow, innovate and raise the standard of premium helmets around the world.
