HJC F72 Carbon – Carbon full-face helmet, integrated sun visor and central visor locking mechanism

The HJC F72 Carbon is the flagship of HJC's new generation of full-face helmets: a wind tunnel-tested carbon shell, an optical class 1 visor with central locking, an integrated sun visor with no optical distortion, and a premium finish with a gold-anodized double D-ring buckle. Supplied with a smoke visor in addition to the standard clear visor, it is designed for riders seeking a premium full-face helmet for both road and track use.

HJC F72 Carbon full-face helmet: HJC's premium model

Designing a premium full-face helmet requires attention to every detail: weight, aerodynamics, visor optical quality, and closure system reliability. This is exactly the approach taken for the F72 Carbon, whose carbon shell is designed to remain compact and lightweight while optimizing comfort and helmet balance on the head. Three shell sizes allow for a tailored fit according to body shape.

The HJ-52 optical class 1 visor – the highest optical quality available – is Pinlock-ready and scratch-resistant, with 99% UV protection. Its central locking mechanism limits shell deformation and ensures smooth, balanced opening and closing. The F72 Carbon also features an internal sun visor with no optical distortion, adjustable to adapt to changing light conditions.

In terms of ventilation, the ACS system distributes air through 5 inlets and 4 outlets, ensuring maximum airflow even during the most intense rides. The visor's anti-fog treatment completes the setup, guaranteeing clear vision in all conditions. Exclusive carbon finishes – a gold-anodized double D-ring buckle, carbon label, and carbon-patterned interior – highlight the helmet's premium positioning.

Why choose the HJC F72 Carbon?

The F72 Carbon is designed for those who want a premium full-face helmet without compromising on optical quality or finish. Its optical class 1 visor combined with central locking offers precision rarely matched in this helmet range, while the carbon shell ensures lightness and compactness.

The smoke visor supplied in addition to the clear visor allows the helmet to be adapted to light conditions without an additional purchase, a real plus for extended rides or changing weather conditions during a journey. The exclusive finishes – gold D-ring, carbon label, and carbon interior – reinforce this premium positioning.

Comfort and ventilation

With 5 air inlets and 4 outlets, the F72 Carbon's ACS system provides one of the most generous ventilation systems in the HJC range, designed to limit the buildup of heat and moisture during the most intense rides. The Oeko-Tex certified antibacterial interior, which is removable and washable, completes this comfort-oriented approach.

The emergency kit, with quick-release cheek pads, adds a valuable safety dimension in case rapid helmet intervention is required.

HJ-52 optical class 1 visor and integrated sun visor

The HJ-52 visor stands out with its optical class 1 rating, the highest level of optical quality, guaranteeing clear vision without distortion. Its central locking mechanism limits shell deformation when opening and closing, for smoother and more precise operation. The anti-fog treatment complements the Pinlock readiness for clear vision in all circumstances.

The internal sun visor, also with no optical distortion, allows you to adapt quickly to changing light conditions without taking your eyes off the road.

Aerodynamics and carbon finishes

The F72 Carbon shell has been specifically wind tunnel-tested to optimize its aerodynamic performance. The exclusive finishes – gold-anodized D-ring, carbon label, and carbon-patterned interior – highlight the helmet's premium character beyond its technical aspects alone.

Maintenance tips

Clean the HJC F72 Carbon visor with lukewarm water and a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding any harsh household products that could damage the scratch-resistant and anti-fog treatment.

As the top cover and cheek pads are removable, wash them regularly by hand with mild soap, then leave them to air dry away from any direct heat source.

Periodically check the proper operation of the central visor locking mechanism, the integrated sun visor, and the double D-ring buckle to maintain a reliable and precise helmet over time.
