F72 Odyssea MC10

HJC F72 – AFC fiberglass full-face helmet, optical class 1 visor and integrated sun visor

The HJC F72 incorporates the technical DNA of the F72 Carbon in a more affordable composite fiberglass version. HJ-52 optical class 1 visor with central locking, distortion-free internal sun visor and ACS ventilation with 5 inlets/4 outlets: it retains the core technology of HJC's premium range, in an AFC shell.

HJC F72 full-face helmet: premium fiberglass technology

The F72 was designed to make the technologies developed for the F72 Carbon more accessible, without a carbon shell but with the same standards for optical quality and operational precision. Its AFC – Advanced Fiberglass Composite shell combines the lamination of specialized materials with rigid fiberglass, with the same focus on aerodynamics: the design has also been optimized for performance, with a smooth visor mounting kit that improves sealing.

Facing you, the HJ-52 optical class 1 visor - the highest level of optical quality at HJC - is Pinlock-ready and scratch-resistant, with 99% UV protection. Like on the Carbon, its central locking limits shell deformation and ensures smooth and perfectly balanced opening and closing. The F72 also features a distortion-free internal sun visor, with an anti-fog treatment that complements the Pinlock-ready design.

The ACS ventilation system distributes air via 5 inlets and 4 outlets, for generous circulation even during extended rides. The removable and washable antibacterial fabric interior, and the emergency kit (quick-release cheek pads), complete an equipment designed for demanding daily use.

Why choose the HJC F72?

The F72 provides access to the core technology of the F72 Carbon - optical class 1 visor, central locking, integrated distortion-free sun visor - in a more affordable fiberglass shell. It is a consistent choice for riders who are primarily looking for optical precision and the reliability of the visor system, without necessarily aiming for a carbon shell.

Its generous ventilation and improved visor mounting kit also make it a helmet designed for sustained use, both on daily commutes and on longer rides.

Comfort and ventilation

With 5 air inlets and 4 outlets, the F72's ACS system provides generous air circulation, designed to limit the accumulation of heat and moisture. The removable and washable antibacterial interior completes this comfort-oriented approach, while the emergency kit allows for the quick removal of the cheek pads if needed.

HJ-52 visor, optical class 1, and integrated sun visor

The optical class 1 HJ-52 visor guarantees clear and distortion-free vision, a level of optical quality that is not always found on full-face helmets in this category. The central locking limits shell deformation during opening and closing, for smoother handling. The smooth visor mounting kit also improves the overall sealing.

The distortion-free and anti-fog treated internal sun visor allows you to quickly adapt to changes in brightness without compromising clarity of vision.

Maintenance tips

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

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

Periodically check the proper operation of the central visor locking and the integrated sun visor, to maintain a reliable and precise helmet over time.

Frequently asked questions about the HJC F72

Is the HJC F72 ECE 22.06 approved?

Yes. The HJC F72 meets the European ECE 22.06 standard, which notably requires tests on shock absorption and the resistance of the helmet's various elements.

What is the difference between the HJC F72 and the HJC F72 Carbon?

The F72 uses an AFC composite fiberglass shell, compared to a carbon shell on the F72 Carbon. Both share the same optical class 1 HJ-52 visor, the same central locking and the same integrated sun visor; the F72 Carbon stands out with exclusive finishes (gold anodized D-ring, carbon patterns) and a tinted visor included in the box.

Is the Pinlock supplied with the HJC F72?

Yes. The Pinlock lens is included in the box, ready to be installed on the Pinlock-ready HJ-52 visor.

Is the HJC F72 suitable for glasses wearers?

Yes. The helmet features a dedicated groove for glasses temples, making it easier to wear prescription glasses under the helmet.
