HJC F72 Carbon - Full-face carbon helmet with integrated sun visor and central visor lock

The HJC F72 Carbon is the flagship model of HJC's new generation of full-face helmets: a wind tunnel-tested carbon shell, an Optical Class 1 visor with a central locking mechanism, an integrated sun visor with no optical distortion, and a premium finish featuring a gold-anodized double D chin strap. It comes with a tinted visor in addition to the standard clear visor and is designed for riders looking for a high-end full-face helmet, whether on the road or on the track.

HJC F72 Carbon Full-Face Helmet: HJC's Top-of-the-Line Model

Designing a premium full-face helmet requires attention to every detail: weight, aerodynamics, the optical quality of the visor, and the reliability of the closure system. This is exactly the approach taken with the F72 Carbon, whose carbon shell was designed to remain compact and lightweight while optimizing the helmet's comfort and balance on the head. Three shell sizes allow for a precise fit tailored to the wearer's head shape.

In front of you is the HJ-52 visor, rated at optical class 1--the highest quality available--which is Pinlock-ready and resistant to scratches, with 99% UV protection. Its central locking mechanism minimizes shell deformation and ensures smooth, balanced opening and closing. The F72 Carbon also features an internal sun visor with no optical distortion, adjustable to adapt to changes in light conditions.

For ventilation, the ACS system distributes air through 5 inlets and 4 outlets, ensuring maximum airflow even during the most intense rides. The visor's anti-fog treatment rounds out the package to guarantee clear vision in all conditions. The exclusive carbon fiber finishes--a gold-colored D-ring, carbon fiber label, and carbon fiber-patterned interior--highlight the helmet's premium positioning.

Why choose the HJC F72 Carbon?

The F72 Carbon is designed for riders who want a high-end full-face helmet without compromising on optical quality or finish. Its Optical Class 1 visor, combined with the central locking mechanism, offers precision rarely matched in this range of helmets, while the carbon shell ensures lightness and compactness.

The inclusion of a tinted visor in addition to the clear visor allows you to adapt the helmet to changing light conditions without any additional purchase--a real plus for extended rides or sudden weather changes during your trip. The exclusive finishes--gold D-ring, label, and carbon fiber interior--reinforce this premium positioning.

Comfort and Ventilation

With 5 air intakes and 4 vents, the F72 Carbon's ACS system provides some of the best ventilation in the HJC lineup, designed to minimize heat and moisture buildup during the most intense rides. The Oeko-Tex-certified antibacterial interior, which is removable and washable, rounds out this comfort-focused design.

The emergency kit, featuring quick-release cheekpads, adds a valuable safety feature in case rapid intervention on the helmet is needed.

HJ-52 Visor, Optical Class 1, and Integrated Sun Visor

The HJ-52 visor stands out for its Optical Class 1 rating--the highest level of optical quality--guaranteeing clear, distortion-free vision. Its central locking mechanism minimizes shell deformation during opening and closing, ensuring smoother and more precise handling. The anti-fog coating complements the Pinlock-ready design for clear vision in all conditions.

The internal sun visor, which is also distortion-free, allows you to quickly adapt to changes in light without taking your eyes off the road.

Aerodynamics and Carbon Finishes

The F72 Carbon's shell has been specifically tested in a wind tunnel to optimize its aerodynamic performance. The exclusive finishes--a gold-anodized D-ring, carbon label, and carbon-patterned interior--highlight the helmet's premium character, beyond its technical features alone.

Care Instructions

Clean the HJC F72 Carbon visor with lukewarm water and a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding any harsh household cleaners that could damage the anti-scratch and anti-fog 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 central visor lock, the built-in sun visor, and the double D chin strap are functioning properly to ensure your helmet remains reliable and precise over time.
