Sometimes choosing purely on looks works out well, sometimes it doesn't. Our reviewer's experience of the F70 came down on the disappointed end
Many customers praised the helmet for its lightweight carbon construction, stylish design, and affordability. They appreciated features like built-in sun visors, wide-angle viewing areas, and pinlock inserts. However, some noted issues with noise, tight fits, and problematic chin straps. Several mentioned the helmet being snug initially but adjusting over time. The helmet received accolades for being quiet and accommodating to glasses. While some noted drawbacks like poor quality internals and lack of quick-release visors, overall, the helmet was deemed a great value and highly recommended by most customers.
Very good quality
Had this helmet for a few years, other than accidentally wiping the inner with a dusty cloth and scratching it, I cannot fault it. I’ve replaced the visors and pinlock, fitted a Cardo and done plenty miles! Great in the wet and dry, winter and summer, and will definitely get another HJC after this one.
Helmet is good quality and fits well on its own. Adding a Cardo headset made it very uncomfortable around the side of the head - might just be my odd head shape though. Otherwise satisfied with the helmet.
Absolutely love this item. I'm a sucker for carbon fiber but overall the quality is amazing it's comfortable and light and literally does what I need extremely well.
And at £200 I don't think I could've got better.
Fantastic quality, comfortable, great bison, low wind noise and venting perfect. I'm very happy with this product and would happily recommend.
It's always difficult finding a new lid that fits, having worn a bell star for the last 4 years I though I would try another brand, ice had HJC in the past and always found them comfortable, I went for the small and medium size as I'm usually a small and head measured the very top limit of small, trying both lids on the difference wasn't massively noticeable, both felt tight in the right places but the small prob a tad too much, after wearing for an hour this was confirmed so I tried the med, and again after a while still felt good, the small and medium use the Sam's shell size so u can but inserts and swap if it does become too tight or sloppy in the future,
The noise cancelling is very good, the view is good and the visor is very clear, fitted my old sena and the integrated headphone ports helped, I also wear glasses sometimes so the cut out for specs is a nice touch,
The integrated sun visor is brilliant,
Allowing for sun shade when needed but full vision when the light gets low, better than carting a spare visor for me, it seems to cool well but won't know for sure till summer hits, at present seems like a good buy ?
Really nice fitting helmet, lightweight and view of the road is amazing, better than my agv. Great price, over half price for me, wind noise is good again agv I find much louder
These helmets are brilliant, got this half price which was even better. The helmet is light and comfortable and do the job they are needed to!
Purchased the hjc f70 carbon to replace my hjc c70 and I'm not disappointed, I always struggle to find a good fitting helmet I've tried expensive brands but always come back to the hjc, I'm a 57 size medium and these fit perfectly, the f70 was at a bargain price and SPORTSBIKESHOP delivered promptly and well packaged as always, I'm not one for writing reviews but I thought this one deserves it.
This is my second HJC helmet, it's a brilliant helmet, well made, comfortable and true to size (unlike my Shoei). Quiet at most speeds. Full size pin lock for the visor that is easy to fit and works well. The inbuilt visor is great although feels a bit below standard compared to my other HJC, this one has a side operated slide mechanism where my older one had a top action slide down with an automatic single press button retract.
This is a very minor niggle though and doesn't stop me giving it a 5* review. Well priced, well built and one of the best looking helmets on the market IMO
Excellent price from sportsbikeshop. Good helmet.
I recently purchased an HJC carbon helmet from Sports Bike Shop, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my decision! From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed by its sleek design and lightweight construction. The carbon fiber shell not only looks fantastic but also adds to the helmet's overall performance.
Wearing this helmet feels like a dream; it's incredibly comfortable, thanks to the plush interior and excellent ventilation. On long rides, it's a game changer—no discomfort or overheating, just pure enjoyment. The visor provides crystal-clear visibility, and I love how easily it can be adjusted.
Sports Bike Shop made the purchasing experience seamless. Their customer service was top-notch, providing expert advice and ensuring I found the perfect fit. Shipping was prompt, and the helmet arrived in perfect condition.
Overall, the HJC carbon helmet has exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend both the helmet and Sports Bike Shop for anyone looking for a high quality and lightweight helmet.
We went to Birmingham to try these on and ordered them to be delivered at home. These helmets are a bargin at the moment with the features they come with.
Me and the wife had one and so far so good.
Great helmet , having tried other makes, padding is soft and fits really well. Love the specs groove and super sized visor. It's really light and I think I can feel that difference, the finish is super glossy and with the weave showing in parts looks great. Absolute bargain the staff allowed me to try more than a few lids ! Really pleased , feels better than other higher priced brands I have used in the past. Noise level good , I do wear plugs as well.
I've been wearing this for about 6 months now and I've done two European tours along with regular riding/IAM Observing.
I have to say that overall this is a very good helmet, it's comfortable, it's not too noisy, it's fairly lightweight and it's kept me relatively cool when it's been very hot and kept out some serious wet weather. The pinlock works well and the field of vision is excellent. Initially this was a little tight but after a few months of wearing it's really comfortable and feels completely secure.
I did have a minor problem, the large chin vent slider came off somewhere in Italy, I contacted SBK and they had it repaired and back to me within a week so a brilliant service from them once again which is why I buy most of my stuff through them.
Overall 5*, I can't really mark it down for such a minor issue.
Travelled up to the Harlow store specifically to try on the F70 Carbon. They only had the black helmet in store so I tried on a large. Quite snug, particularly the cheek pads but was impressed by the build quality and light weight. I have owned top of the range Arai and Shoei helmets in the past and in my opinion, HJC is up there. Ordered the orange helmet online (with the 50% reduction) and delivery took me by surprise by coming in a day earlier than expected. Worn on 3 rides so far and helmet living up to expectations - bedded in nicely. Typical high class Sportsbikeshop service both in store and online. Many thanks
A very good all round helmet. Good quality and reasonable weight. Very quiet on a 1200 gsa , comes with pin lock insert and double d ring. Would recommend at the discounted price.
A bit on the tight side. But fit feel an function are spot on. Feels a lot quiter than previous helmets. Forgot how light carbon helmets are, much nicer on the neck. All feature are easily accessible and after some reps are easy to use.
