AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE

The F71's aerodynamic design is engineered for high-speed performance, reducing drag and improving stability. Its streamlined shape allows it to cut through the wind effortlessly, enhancing rider control and minimizing fatigue during extended rides.

SUPERIOR VENTILATION

The F71 features the ACS (Advanced Channeling Ventilation System), designed to provide superior airflow throughout your ride. This system channels air from the front of the helmet to the back, effectively flushing out heat and humidity. As a result, you stay cooler and more comfortable, even during long rides or in warm conditions, allowing you to focus on the road ahead without the distraction of excess heat.

VISOR SYSTEM

The F71 features a Pinlock Ready HJ-38 Visor with 99% UV protection and an anti-scratch coating for clear, durable vision. The two-way pivot ratchet system ensures smooth operation and a secure seal, while the enhanced dual lock system keeps the visor firmly in place at high speeds. A wider eye port improves peripheral vision, and the dynamic multi-step sun shield allows for optimized sun protection, giving you a customizable riding experience with enhanced visibility and security.

SAFETY

The F71 prioritizes safety with its AFC (Advanced Fiberglass Composite) Shell, combining specialty materials with rigid fiberglass for lightweight yet impact-resistant protection. It also includes an Emergency Kit with removable cheek pads for quick, safe rescue. This blend of advanced construction and safety features ensures peace of mind while you push your limits on the road.

SMART HJC READY

The F71 is SMART HJC Ready, designed to seamlessly integrate with 11B, 21B, and 50B Bluetooth systems (sold separately). This allows you to stay connected while riding, providing convenient access to communication, navigation, and entertainment features without compromising your focus on the road.

Our Two Cents

The F71 is a sport/sport touring full face helmet from HJC, and is the direct replacement for their F70 helmet. The F71 comes in sizes from XS to 2XL, and those sizes are covered by 3 shell/liner sizes. Shell A will cover XS&S, Shell B M&L, and Shell C XL&2XL. Overall construction is an advanced fiberglass composite with interchangeable cheek pads (interchangeable through the shell sizes and cheek pads are glasses friendly). The F71 has a HJ-38 Pinlock prepared clear shield, the Pinlock lens is included, and it comes with a HJ-V12 internal sunshield. The HJ-V12 internal sunshield features a Dynamic Multi-Step setup that allows it to be in multiple positions such as default, 5mm closer to the breath deflector and 10mm closer to the breath deflector. This is controlled with the switch at the neckline of the left side of the helmet, one direction pivots the sunshield up and out of your vision while the other lowers the visor to near the breath deflector. When you lower the visor, there is tension at each position. Moving past the first position the sun shield kicks out a bit and gets 5mm closer to the breath deflector. The next adjustment is 10mm closer. This helmet is DOT approved.

Additional features include emergency quick release cheek pad release tabs, a 2 way ratchet pivot system, a 3 year warranty, and Smart HJC 2nd Gen compatibility (powered by Sena). In comparison to the F70, the F71 has a 33% improvement in the front edge spoiler, a 158% improvement in rear spoiler aerodynamics, a more aggressive design with more pronounced upper and rear vents, as well as more advanced airflow that was developed in HJC’s wind tunnel.

Overall the HJC F71 is a solid helmet with some solid features at its price point in the mid $300s. Personally I think that the F71 has one of the biggest and most customizable (position wise) sun visors out of all the helmets that we sell. In trying the F71 on it felt comfortable, not overly heavy and it does come in a good variety of both solid colors as well as graphic versions. If you are looking at a helmet in the mid $300 range it is worth checking out, especially if you find built in sun protection important. :: Damir 8/3/24
