No matter what type of bike you ride, safety and comfort is what you need from a motorcycle helmet.
There are a bewildering array of motorcycle helmets on the market for you to choose from, so it is understandably difficult to find one that gives you the best level of safety as a price you can afford combined with the style you want and the best fit possible.
HJC have been specialising in the manufacturing of motorcycle helmets exclusively since 1971 and together with their innovative ideas and reasonable pricing, they have achieved worldwide success in the motorcycle helmets market (best seller in Europe and #1 in the US for 30 years!).
HJC constantly put their helmets through laboratory testing as well as in ‘real’ life circumstances for quality assurance. The company has its own state of the art wind tunnel testing laboratory where they test aerodynamics, ventilation and noise etc.
HJC became the first motorcycle crash helmet company to title sponsor a MotoGP race event in 2016 and have been sponsoring top tier worldwide races ever since. Their professional partnerships with athletes include MotoGP riders Cal Crutchlow and Andrea Iannone as well as a number of up-and-coming Moto2 and Moto3 racers.
In 2012 HJC introduced RPHA, a series of helmets that feature Premium Integrated Matrix Plus (PIM+) construction for an extremely lightweight shell, and superior aerodynamics and comfort which include innovations such as their advanced ventilation channelling system and their unique composite shell designs.
Having teamed up with some of the biggest names in the world, HJC are also now able to produce motorcycle helmets with officially licensed and stunning Marvel®, Star Wars® and Pixar® graphics .
