The HJC helmets range has been updated for 2015 and there’s something for everyone.
Are you looking for a shiny new lid? Or do you just want to keep up with what’s new from HJC? The new and expanded range for 2015 includes more new helmet designs than you can shake a stick at. We’re here to take you through the highlights, and you can take a look at the whole range by visiting our website.
HJC helmets in new graphics
Starting with the high-end HJC helmets, the RPHA 10+ range has been expanded with some seriously good-looking new graphics for all you speed demons out there. These include a new Jorge Lorenzo replica helmet, the ‘Lorenzo Speed Machine’, perfect for die-hard Yamaha fans (pictured above).
Two new RPHA 10+ graphics have also landed: the Cyper and the Aquilo. The Cyper (in orange or pink) adds a splash of colour to the range and the Aquilo has a distinctive pattern designed to stand out.
The RPHA ST range has also been extended for 2015 with 2 new graphics: the Balmer and the Twocut. The Balmer comes in a staggering 5 colours, giving you loads of choice when choosing your next sports-touring lid. The RPHA Max Evo flip-front helmet has been given a makeover too, with its first graphic, the Zoomwalt. Don’t forget that with all RPHA HJC helmets, we’re giving away a pair of FREE Ugly Fish sunglasses worth £34.99 – just in time for the Spring sunshine!
Outstanding Value
Never fear if you’re looking for a great quality helmet at a more affordable price – HJC haven’t forgotten their mid-range helmets this year. They’ve added the striking green Zodd graphic to the excellent value FG-17 range, and some other really stand-out graphics on the commuter helmet side have been added to the IS-17 range. This ever-popular helmet range has been enhanced by the new Armada graphic, which lives up to its name with a tough, army camouflage-inspired pattern. The Pink Rocket graphic, however, is clearly aimed at women riders (or those who like a bit of pink) who want to reflect their personal style. Both designs are striking and are sure to stand out amongst the other commuters!
The CS-14 is another affordable helmet from HJC. In fact, it’s perfect for the biker on a budget, with lids starting from as little as £66.49. With HJC, you’ll never compromise on quality. This helmet is well-ventilated, tough and meets safety standards, and is crafted with the same care and attention as all other HJC helmets. The CS-14 has had a complete overhaul this year, with the Lola and Check 71 graphics being replaced by the stylish Coco and the racing-inspired Checker graphics. The Paso is also new to the range, with 4 colours to choose from. You can see all of the new CS-14 graphics for yourself and find one to suit you here.
Flip front range extended
HJC haven’t stopped at graphics- they’ve introduced several new helmet ranges to their already massive offering, including a new mid-range flip front lid. The IS-MAX 2 is seriously good value and packed with features, including a FREE Pinlock anti-fog insert. It’s available in 8 colours, including a high-vis yellow (pictured right) and benefits from HJC’s excellent ‘ACS’ Advanced channeling ventilation system, for much better airflow added to the previous IS-Max BT design. Go and have a gander at the IS-Max 2 here.
Open face at a great price
The new FG-Jet open face helmet is a gift to bikers’ pockets, thanks to HJC’s re-design of their open face range. The FG-Jet offers the same great features, lightweight design and extra-strong construction that made the RPHA Jet special, at around £70 cheaper. You just can’t argue with that! It’s available in 3 shell sizes and 5 colours, with the Acadia graphic (pictured right) topping off the range.
Back to the 70’s
Calling all bikers with a touch of nostalgia for the good old days! We know you’re out there, and so does HJC. They’ve tapped into 70’s style this year with the FG-70S open-face helmet range. Despite the retro styling and range of graphics available, this isn’t just a nostalgic novelty helmet. The FG-70S helmets are built to last, with a Kevlar® and fibreglass composite shell and dual-density EPS liner. The shell is extremely lightweight, and tough enough to handle anything you throw at it.
An extra bonus with the FG-70S is that the cheek pads are interchangeable with all shell sizes, meaning that you can custom fit this lid to suit you. The FG-70S offer the perfect marriage between modern and retro, and the price strikes a good balance too!
Budget Off Road helmets
If you’ve just started out in motocross and you’re looking for the best value gear, HJC have got you covered. If you can’t stretch to a high-spec RPHA X helmet, then the CS-MX range is a great place to start. These budget MX helmets have a large eye port for a comfortable fit, good ventilation, and a range of bright colours to choose from. They also feature a removable, washable liner, so your helmet can stay fresh no matter how mucky you get!
Something for the kids
For some of you proud parents, biking runs in the family, and you want to make sure your little bikers are protected – whether they’re learning to ride or competing off-road. HJC has extended its children’s range for 2015, with the CLY Children’s range boosted by two new graphics: Yume and Tableau. These helmets can also be a godsend for riders with smaller head sizes; so if that’s you, don’t write them off as being just for kids!
For young racers, HJC has introduced a new range of children’s motocross helmets with 4 fun, bright colour options available. The CL-XY range was designed with an adjustable peak and large eye port for a great fit, and features an advanced ventilation system so that your kids can feel cool and fresh whilst racing around. The CL-XY shares the same comfortable, removable interior as the adults’ CS-MX motocross helmet, and it is ECE 22.05 approved, like all the HJC helmets. This lid is perfect for young racers to hone their skills safely – who knows, they could be tearing up the tarmac at Donington Park one day!
