HJC F72 Semi Flat Black

HJC F72 - AFC fiberglass full-face helmet with an Optical Class 1 visor and built-in sun visor

The HJC F72 incorporates the technical DNA of the F72 Carbon in a more affordable fiberglass composite version. Featuring an HJ-52 optical class 1 visor with central locking, an internal sun visor with no optical distortion, and ACS ventilation with 5 inlets and 4 outlets, it retains the essence of HJC's high-end technology in an AFC shell.

HJC F72 Full-Face Helmet: Premium Fiberglass Technology

The F72 was designed to make the technologies developed for the F72 Carbon more widely accessible--without a carbon shell but with the same high standards for optical quality and precision of performance. Its AFC (Advanced Fiberglass Composite) shell combines specialized laminated materials with rigid fiberglass, while maintaining the same focus on aerodynamics: the design has also been optimized for performance, featuring a smooth visor mounting kit that improves seal integrity.

In front of you is the HJ-52 visor, rated at optical class 1--HJC's highest level of optical quality--which is Pinlock-compatible and resistant to scratches, with 99% UV protection. As with the Carbon model, its central locking mechanism minimizes shell deformation and ensures smooth, perfectly balanced opening and closing. The F72 also features an internal sun visor with no optical distortion, featuring an anti-fog coating that complements the Pinlock compatibility.

The ACS ventilation system distributes air through 5 inlets and 4 outlets, ensuring ample airflow even during extended rides. The removable and washable antibacterial fabric lining and the emergency kit (quick-release cheekpads) round out a design built for demanding everyday use.

Why choose the HJC F72?

The F72 offers access to the core technology of the F72 Carbon--Optical Class 1 visor, central locking mechanism, and distortion-free integrated sun visor--in a more affordable fiberglass shell. It's a logical choice for riders who prioritize optical precision and the reliability of the visor system, without necessarily opting for a carbon fiber shell.

Its generous ventilation and improved visor mounting kit also make it a helmet designed for heavy use, whether on daily commutes or longer rides.

Comfort and Ventilation

With 5 air inlets and 4 outlets, the F72's ACS system provides generous airflow, designed to minimize heat and moisture buildup. The antibacterial, removable, and washable interior complements this comfort-oriented design, while the emergency kit allows for quick removal of the cheekpads if needed.

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

The HJ-52 visor, optical class 1, guarantees clear, distortion-free vision--a level of optical quality not always found on full-face helmets in this category. The central locking mechanism minimizes shell deformation during opening and closing, ensuring smoother operation. The smooth visor mounting kit also improves the helmet's overall seal.

The internal sun visor, which features no optical distortion and an anti-fog coating, allows you to quickly adapt to changes in light without compromising clarity of vision.

Care Instructions

Clean the HJC F72 visor with lukewarm water and a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding any harsh household cleaners that could cause scratches or damage the anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings.

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 and the built-in sun visor are working properly to ensure your helmet remains reliable and precise over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About the HJC F72

Is the HJC F72 ECE 22.06-certified?

Yes. The HJC F72 meets the European ECE 22.06 standard, which requires, among other things, testing for impact absorption and the durability of the helmet's various components.

What is the difference between the HJC F72 and the HJC F72 Carbon?

The F72 uses an AFC composite fiberglass shell, whereas the F72 Carbon features a carbon fiber shell. Both models share the same HJ-52 optical class 1 visor, the same central locking mechanism, and the same integrated sun visor; the F72 Carbon stands out with exclusive finishes (gold-anodized D-ring, carbon fiber patterns) and a tinted visor included in the box.

Does the HJC F72 come with a Pinlock?

Yes. The Pinlock lens is included in the box, ready to be installed on the pre-equipped HJ-52 visor.

Is the HJC F72 suitable for people who wear glasses?

Yes. The helmet features a dedicated groove for eyeglass temples, making it easy to wear prescription glasses under the helmet.
