HJC i72 – Compact full-face helmet, optical class 1 visor and central locking

The latest addition to the full-face range, the HJC i72 features a compact and lightweight design that enhances comfort and helmet balance, while incorporating the brand's key technologies: an optical class 1 visor with central locking, an integrated sun visor, and an anti-fog treatment. A full-face helmet designed for demanding everyday use, without the price tag of a premium carbon model.

HJC i72 full-face helmet: compact, precise and well-equipped

Reducing the weight and bulk of a full-face helmet without compromising comfort or protection is the HJC i72's goal. Its APC – Advanced Polycarbonate Composite shell, available in three sizes, features a compact design that reduces overall weight while optimizing the helmet's balance on the head.

Facing you, the HJ-52 optical class 1 visor - HJC's highest level of optical quality - is Pinlock-ready and scratch-resistant, with 99% UV protection. Its central locking reduces shell deformation and allows for smooth, balanced operation when opening and closing. The i72 also features an integrated sun visor, with no optical distortion, adjustable to adapt to changing light conditions.

The ACS ventilation system distributes air through 5 inlets and 2 outlets, a configuration designed to maximize airflow. Finally, the visor features an anti-fog treatment that reduces fogging, for clear vision in all conditions, summer and winter alike.

Why choose the HJC i72?

The i72 provides access to technologies usually reserved for premium full-face helmets - optical class 1 visor, central locking, integrated sun visor - in a compact and more affordable helmet. Its lightweight design makes it particularly comfortable over long periods, whether for urban use or road riding.

The visor's anti-fog treatment is a real plus for early morning rides or seasonal changes, while the generous ventilation (5 inlets, 2 outlets) ensures effective airflow even on the longest rides.

Comfort and ventilation

The i72's ACS system distributes air through 5 inlets and 2 outlets, a configuration designed to maximize airflow and limit the buildup of heat and moisture. The OEKO-TEX certified antibacterial liner, removable and washable, completes this approach, with cheek pads interchangeable across all sizes.

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

The optical class 1 HJ-52 visor guarantees clear, distortion-free vision, a level of quality rarely offered on such a compact helmet. The central locking limits shell deformation when opening and closing, while the anti-fog treatment reduces fogging for clear vision in all conditions.

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

A compact design designed for comfort

By reducing the weight and bulk of the shell, the i72 optimizes the helmet's balance on the head, a point that is particularly appreciated during long journeys or daily commutes.

Maintenance tips

Clean the HJC i72 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 let them air dry away from any 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.
