HJC F71 Carbon test
The HJC F71 Carbon is the second generation of the brand Sport-Touring model of the brand after the F70. It is designed for all use, from large trips, to urban displacements, or even field crossings through.
As its name indicates, it is made of carbon fiber, that is, it is lighter and more comfortable. But it is not just about that, but also carbon fiber offers greater resistance to impacts than traditional fibers. Not surprisingly exceeds the standards of ECE R22.06 regulations.
Throughout the numerous motorcycle tests that we performed at Soymotero.net and several routes throughout Spain, I have been able to verify that the aerodynamic structure of the shell is designed for extreme performance at high speeds, No doubt thanks to the tests performed by HJC in wind tunnel.
The advanced channeling ventilation system of the F71 is called “ACS” and is really effective. Through three front shots – two on the forehead and one under the visor – and three rear exits, forms an air flow from front to back that expels the heat and humidity of the helmet.
The visor is very easy to extract and install without tools, through its ratchet system. The release of the closing system is by thrust, very simple. It offers 5 positions: open, closed and three more intermediate.
It comes standard with Pinlock, Lienera, Breath of breath and as the previous version, a very easy-to-drive parasol called “Dynamic Multi-Step Sun screen.” Regarding the visor, to point out that it is not only important that it is easy to change but, above all, that the peripheral vision is good -in this case, magnificent -, a key element in security while we roll.
It may not be the lighter helmet on the market or the quietest, but the interior is very comfortable. Made of antibacterial tissue, it is removable and washable. It has an emergency kit on the cheeks pads, for a safe and fast rescue in emergency situations. The closure is by double ring and how can it be otherwise in a Sport Touring helmet, it is prepared to receive the intercommunicators by Bluetooth HJC Smart, developed next to the renowned SENA firm.
It is available in carbon decoration seen that you can see in the photos at a price of 459.90 euros. There are also three decorations (red, yellow or gray), in this case with a recommended price of 499.90 euros.
