Nice helmet for the price
31 Mar 2026 by Myles
Lovely fit, good guality, nice touch to have the speaker recesses makes a good fit over the ears. Internal dark visor operating mechanism is an improvement over the previous model, and although this has been mentioned in other reviews, the main visor ratchet mechanism feels flimsy and not positive enough, hope it can hold the visor in the position when open.

Tangareen glow
25 Mar 2026 by Anonymous
Brilliant helmet. Fantastic bright tangareen orange, a colour that can be seen by other road users. Fits like a glove. Having the ability to flip the front section is lovely when stopping to chat or enjoy the surroundings without needing to keep removing the helmet. I would definitely buy one again.

Not overly impressed
14 Dec 2025 by Les
Arrived with no breath guard but sbs soon sorted that for me, as a shop they are superb and staff at preston to match.
As for the helmet.....its good when dry but terrible in the rain, inside the the actual inside of the pinlock steams up probs due to insufficient air flow and leaks a lot at the top seal. Had major trouble with the i90 version buut thought this model would of improved but no, still awful. I think i will be staying well away frim the i series hjc helmets from now on. Waste of £229

Fit is very comfortable, looks nice & will suit most colours on bikes.
I do still get wind noise ( same as my old HJC helmet) mainly on the right side, which is also the side the comms microphone comes out, may not be that but it makes me think that.
Yes I still get water run down the inside of the visor on my old HJC and the above helmet when it rains, cannot seem to stop it, even when the visor is down and locked. Air flow through helmet is good.
Style: Bina White / Blue / Red
