HJC F100 Carbon Askan MC1

HJC F100 Carbon - Carbon-fiber flip-up helmet, dual P/J-certified, with a sun visor featuring a twist-up mechanism

The HJC F100 Carbon is a high-end modular helmet designed for versatility: a rotating chin bar that maintains a compact silhouette, dual P/J certification with a secure locking lever, and a sun visor adjustable via a dial. A helmet designed for riders who want a carbon shell without sacrificing the practicality of a flip-up helmet.

HJC F100 Carbon Flip-Up Helmet: Compact and Versatile

Like other compact flip-up helmets in the HJC lineup, the F100 Carbon features a compact, lightweight design that reduces overall weight while optimizing comfort and balance on the head. Its carbon shell, available in three sizes, offers a precise fit regardless of head shape.

Its rotating chin bar maintains a compact appearance in both the open and closed positions, and its dual P/J certification is supported by a locking lever that allows for secure locking and quick unlocking. Aerodynamics have also been optimized to improve stability and riding comfort in the open configuration--an area where traditional flip-up helmets often fall short.

In front of you, the Pinlock-ready HJ-45 visor--with a lens included in the box--blocks 99% of UV rays. The helmet stands out for its sun visor, which is adjustable via a dial; its height can be adjusted up to 8 mm, allowing for precise, gradual control rather than a stepwise adjustment. The ACS ventilation system distributes air through 5 inlets and 6 outlets, one of the most generous configurations in the HJC modular helmet lineup.

Why choose the HJC F100 Carbon?

The F100 Carbon combines a premium carbon shell with a level of versatility rarely found in this segment: its rotating chin bar maintains a slim and compact profile regardless of position, while its P/J certification with a locking lever ensures safe use in the open position.

Its sun visor, adjustable via a dial, offers a higher level of precision than a simple notched mechanism, allowing you to find exactly the desired level of protection. Its availability up to size 3XL also makes it one of the most versatile modular helmets in terms of sizing within the HJC lineup.

Comfort and Ventilation

With 5 air inlets and 6 air outlets, the F100 Carbon's ACS system offers one of the most generous ventilation configurations in the HJC modular helmet lineup. The antibacterial, removable, and washable interior complements this design, with interchangeable cheekpads available across all sizes.

Rotating Chin Strap and P/J Certification

The chin bar pivots while maintaining a compact appearance, whether the helmet is open or closed. The locking lever, combined with P/J certification, ensures secure locking and quick unlocking, allowing you to ride safely with the chin bar raised.

Sun Visor with Dial

Unlike a traditional notched adjustment system, the F100 Carbon's sun visor is adjusted using a dial, offering precise and gradual adjustment up to 8 mm in height to adapt perfectly to changing light conditions.

Care Instructions

Clean the HJC F100 Carbon visor with lukewarm water and a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding any harsh household cleaners that could cause scratches on the anti-scratch coating.

Since the inner liner and cheekpads are removable, wash them regularly by hand with mild soap, then let them air dry away from direct heat sources.

Periodically check that the chin strap locking lever and the sun visor adjustment dial are working properly to ensure your helmet remains reliable over time.
