HJC V31 Retro Open Face Helmet: The Customizable Café Racer Style

The café racer style stands out for its simplicity and its potential for customization. The HJC V31 was designed with this in mind, featuring an AFC (Advanced Fiberglass Composite) shell that combines specialized laminated materials with rigid fiberglass, available in three shell sizes for an optimal fit.

Its unique feature is its 3-snap attachment system, designed to accommodate either a bubble visor or motorcycle goggles depending on the desired look--the visor is sold separately to give the rider a choice. The helmet features an IS-10 sun visor, which deploys quickly and easily for clear vision, with a coating that resists scratches and three adjustment levels for optimized visibility depending on light conditions.

The lightweight, removable, and washable antibacterial fabric lining rounds out this helmet, with a designated space for speakers to facilitate the addition of a communication system.

Why choose the HJC V31?

The V31 stands out for its aesthetic versatility: its 3-snap attachment allows you to add a bubble visor for a classic café racer look, or ride with motorcycle goggles for an even sleeker appearance. This modular design, combined with a lightweight AFC shell, makes it a highly customizable helmet.

The integrated IS-10 sun visor, adjustable to 3 levels, adds a practical dimension to this retro style, allowing you to ride comfortably without a front visor while still maintaining protection against glare.

Comfort and Lightweight Design

The V31's antibacterial interior--which is lightweight, removable, and washable--contributes to the helmet's overall comfort, designed for extended urban use. The cheekpads are interchangeable across all sizes to fine-tune the fit to your head shape.

3-Snap Fastening and Glasses Compatibility

The 3-snap system allows for easy installation of a bubble visor (sold separately) for a traditional café racer look. Its "goggle fit" design also ensures a secure fit with motorcycle goggles, for riders who prefer this more minimalist option.

IS-10 Sun Visor

The integrated IS-10 sun visor deploys quickly and easily, featuring a scratch-resistant coating and three adjustment levels to adapt to varying light conditions--a practical solution in the absence of a fixed front visor.

Care Instructions

Clean the HJC V31's sun visor with lukewarm water and a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding any harsh household cleaners that could cause scratches on the scratch-resistant 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 3-snap system and the built-in sun visor are working properly to ensure your helmet remains reliable over time.
