Sports-touring helmets offer the best of both worlds and these five could all become your new riding companion.
Customers have largely praised the HJC helmet for its comfort, snug fit, light weight, and good ventilation. Many have noted the premium feel and quality of materials. While some experienced tightness initially, they found it comfortable after some use. There were mentions of issues with the pinlock and visor mechanisms, particularly in colder weather, and a few customers received helmets with outdated manufacturing dates. Overall, the helmet is considered good value for money and comparable to more expensive brands.
Great helmet, so nice I have two, Good noise suppression on the road to. Great lid, great price too. Feels quality and is quite light.
I came back to the HJC brand for my second helmet from them after a 5-year stint in a Shoei NXR.
The HJC is very comfortable, although I find it to be a very warm helmet in comparison to my Shoei.
Ventilation is good (but do find myself wishing for more).
I'm not overly keen on the centralised visor release mechanism (but understand it's practicality over the normal left side only releases).
Overall a great helmet, reasonably price, not many reasons to complain..
The helmet was purchased under a "Black Friday" offer. The helmet arrived the following day & looks great. The same helmet appeared on a competitors website for an even lower price that day but SBS matched the price with no quibbles. That for me is excellent customer service & upholds thier price match promise.
The helmet is noticably lighter than the current HJC helmet we have, has a very snug feel around the bottom of the head, but should reduce noise. Will be fitting the UCOM system from the previous helmet & was pleased to find recessed speaker sockets.
I cant find any faults with this helmet. Fits snugly. Nice quiet helmet, probably the quietest I've had.
Internal visor mechanism is slick and easy to use.
The helmet is excellent. If HJC fit your head then they are brilliant. Plush, snug, well made, comfy. But, bought while on offer and turns out the helmet was made in March 2021! 3 years old helmet! Sportsbikeshop said this is why it was on offer and as it's been stored in a warehouse that it still has its 5 year lifespan from when I start wearing it. Shame they don't make it clear that discounted helmets are old stock. That's my only gripe.
Nice fitting helmet and feels good quality. I normally wear medium and found this tight on the cheeks so had to order 30mm pads.
Easy to fit sena system.
Fortuitously, as I need to replace my old helmet, the R-PHA 70 went on sale. This helmet has most the features I like - relatively light, quiet, integrated sun shield, great visibility, etc. The fit and aesthetics are good, too. The only downside is that it doesn't have accommodation for coms, e.g., a 20B system, but that's a minor thing. Overall, recommended.
I haven't worn this out yet but the fit is quite tight, in terms of the padding. I ordered the size correct for my head width but it was still a bit tight. I hope it will bed in time cos this is an insanely pretty helmet with seriously good features - ventilation, visor lock etc.
Have worn HJC helmets for many years and they are great quality. The RPHA 70 has the inner tinted visor, Pinlock and lots of vents but note they are snug fitting with the cheek pads being quite firm. Am hoping these will bed in with wear.
Great premium helmet, finish is quality and so is the design. Liner and foam feel plush and brand is reliable.
SBS service was 5* as always
Good quality light helmet - I had an older HJC flip front before and like the brand HJC. This one seems really good with some nice features like the positive snap shut visor and the detail around the vents. Hoping it will be much quieter than my other helmets due to the good snug fit of the padding. Internal sunglasses have a nice actuation mechanism
A great helmet, quiet and comfortable
Very impressed with this helmet. I wear glasses and after removing the ear pads, they fit great. No issues when using the internal sun visor either. (Recommend removing breath guard if wearing glasses).
Feels very premium and worth it for the relatively low cost compared to the bigger name brands.
What a great helmet an upgrade in a previous HJC - it's so quiet and fits perfectly snug. The visor mechanism is smooth and much easier to operate.. all round great helmet
Fantastic helmet, that is light and comfortable to wear all day. I recently did a 430 mile day while wearing this and got off the bike feeling like I'd never had a lid on my head.
I bought this to replace my Arai Dark Citizen lid, which cost far more, and although more plush inside, weighs a tonne.
The fit, finish and sound proofing are all good - this is my second HJC helmet and it won't be the last.
My Sena 50R intercom fitted easily and the speakers were far enough away from my ears to avid contact all day.
Overall, I am delighted with my new HJC.
1st non Arai lid I have purchased in 20 years. £249 in the sale, feels more like a £500 helmet.
Very light, did a 6 hour ride with it on the 1st wear. Minimal neck ache. Vents are well placed and kept me cool in the heat. Visor mechanism is excellent and, came with a pinlock insert. The drop down sun visor is a revelation, so easy to use, great when filtering on a hot day.
The only thing I missed from my Tour X4 was the peak, riding west into late afternoon sun. That being said, if I went for a long ride today, I'd be grabbing the HJC. Great bit of kit.
Really like this helmet. Fits well with good ventilation.
SBS were really helpful in sizing too.
My previous helmet was an HJC it was a comfortable fit at Large 59-60 (as all my helmets are), I bought this in same size and I nearly couldn't get it on my head, go one size up. I got XL and it's still snug but feels right. Lovely helmet the Matt finish looks amazing, the vents are really easy to use and all the materials are top quality. I've taken one star off because so far the pinlock hasn't worked very well and I can't seem to close the visor fully without steaming up, so I will have to try adjusting.
HJC’s latest high-spec sports-touring helmet, released in 2017, has impressed me a lot in the 2000 miles I’ve spent w...
