I bought 5 of these, one for the laaaadieeees and 4 for the change of the weather or gear for the day. Love the helmet and Sena also did a great job with the sound. Perfect helmet for me.
I personally use the HJC i10 and I really like it. I previously used the HJC CSR3. I find the i10 to fit very similarly. Its vents work really good, and I like the stop positions for the visor. Overall for the price point its a very comfortable helmet and I feel safer knowing its Snell approved.
Until last week when i ordered a Ruroc 4.0 this has been my primary helmet for the last 2 years. It's definitely served me well. I did make some modifications to improve creature comfort. I clipped my D-rings and installed a Ryde Wear quick release, Chin curtain & pinlock.
Van, i have a addiction. I bought 2 helmets this year and 2 last year. Now im buying as many jackets as well lol. Is this whats like to have a 2 wheel obsession? Oh my question is can i open a tab at your store 😜 jk. Thanks for the reviews, help me a lot with my purchases.
I previously had a scorpion exo R420 that I’ve recently dropped. And was looking at getting this one mainly for the color scheme. I have a hyper naked zh2. And was wondering if it’s a good helmet for a more upright. And if there’s much difference between my old one and this one. Thanks again.
This helmet will be pretty comparable to the R420 with the R420 perhaps being just a little nicer as it should be given the price difference. IMO this helmet will perform well on an upright bike or a sportbike where you spend some time in a tuck. - Van
Thanks for the awesome reviews. Very detailed and that's why I search out STG videos. I am torn on helmets as well...Here is what I have so far... HJC i10 Fear (hi vis, white and black) Scorpion EXO T-510 (white and silver...room for coms system?) Bell RS2 Rally (hi vis) What say you?
I say they are all good but different. The Scorpion and the Bell both have a drop down inner shield which makes them a very different helmet as compared to one without a drop down inner shield. The HJC will vent a little better and have a slightly better field of vision in a tuck. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear I tried the Bell Qualifier DLX MIPS and it feels cheap and the shield did not have a good tight fit it seems. I am torn now between the i10 and the HJC CS-R3. The i10 is newer if im not mistaken. Better to go with that over the R3?
Thanks for watching! Here is a link to them on our site: HJC HJ-31 Pinlock Ready Shield www.sportbiketrackgear.com/hjc-hj-31-pinlock-ready-shield/ - Van
It is a plastic shell. When it comes to safety this helmet passes the same test the fiberglass models pass so you can expect a solid level of protection. Fit is the most important thing where safety is concerned. To be fair you can expect better performance and a bit more safety from a more expensive helmet. More performance than safety. - Van
Brian Im in a bind, I bought a schuberth but its not comfortable and doesnt sit right on my face, I havent been able to decide on a 200$-ish helmet, was looking at the airmada, the hjc i10, and a few others, but would love your recomendation on what you think the best bang for your buck around 150-220$ USD full face is, or if you have a video covering this a link would be great!
Does the i10 fit like the bell qualifier? Been using bell qualifier as I have a weird head shape thats looks like a box from the view. My concern is the two pressure point on the top part back of my head. Thanks in advance!
I personally prefer the full face i10 without the drop down inner shield. That is a feature I do not typically use myself as the optics are never as good as looking through just one shield. - Van
Visibility will be good for either of the helmets. Both are solid options, the Bell SRT costs a little more and is a little nicer. The shield on the SRT is the same one Bell uses on their more expensive Star helmets which is a plus. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear I have a little over a 58cm head shape sizes so which size would you recommend I go with? Would a large be to big or a med to small and hurt my head? Van thank you for your time and response.
this or scorpion r420 or f70 ? I'm going to buy gear before I buy my first bike , because I know for sure I will ride either way If i got gear or not :), thank you so much for your videos , I enjoy watching them I learn a lot of things about riding from you, you got an amazing site and youtube channel Sir.
C j hcj looks great but the only helmets that has snell 2015 are f70 and the r420 , so is hjc woeth the price difference ? Since my budget is extremely tight atm and I want to get the best thing i can afford
Thanks for watching and the kind words! IMO this is one of the best price point helmets available at this time. Personally I prefer this over the F70, it offers a better fit IMO. Between this and the Scorpion 420 I would say go with the one you like the looks of the most and they are both good lids. If you plan to add a bluetooth device to the helmet remember the HJC has the new Sena Smart HJC 10B that integrates directly with this helmet and sells for $139. - Van
Yes there are several color options for the i10 shields. Here is a link to them on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/hjc-hj-31-pinlock-ready-shield/
i measure just around 59cm. Should I go for size Large? I've been choosing between this and the i70 and the only major difference is the internal visor, am I correct?
I would go with a large at 59cm. You are correct the main difference between the 2 models mentioned is the drop down inner shield. Both are excellent choices IMO. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear the only thing about that is it's not Snell certified however I do like the Scorpion helmets the 1400 St and the EXO 510 or higher I just love the price of this damn thing
@@sportbiketrackgear I just seen the HJC f70 so one of these three ku-azz Lids I will be rocking if I catch Corona Barry me sun visor down oh I can't wait to get one of these f****** Speed Racer helmets thanks for the videos bro it's been a real help to a squib like me because honestly I thought a $400+ shoei or nothing I knew about other helmets I didn't know how affordable
So I got one of these in size xxl.. It's to tight sadly.. Pushes on my forehead and my cheaks. Thought it would wear in but it doesn't. Is there any helmets very similar to this one thats just a tad larger in the same price range?
@@sportbiketrackgear Thanks Van. Problem is I'm in New Zealand.. And I tried to do just that. We have about 7 bike shops where I live (2 that only sells gear) and only 1 of them had a helmet in xxl.. The I70 xxl is nearly there. Like very close. It comes on and feels good. But if I'm riding for over 30 minutes my cheeks starts hurting.
I like the i10 better myself but both are good helmets. If you want the drop down inner go with the i70. The i10 is the way to go if the drop down inner shield is not something you plan to use. - Van
@@reymondtagata4088 walang medium size sa PH bro, sa mismong authorized dealer ng HJC sa pilipinas ako bumili, sa Triumph JT Mnl. Parehas kong binili i70 at i10
would you go with a large if i have a right on 59cm head shape size? And would you prefer an i10 with snell certification or a rapha 11 pro with ECE certification on a track day? thanks and good job on your videos,well done!
I would go for the RPHA 11 Pro over the i10 for a track helmet. At 59cm you will be at the top of the large range and should get a good fit in either the i10 or RPHA 11 Pro. - Van
The i10 is a solid helmet and a better value. Hard to compare it head to head with the K1 which is significantly more expensive. If you can swing the difference in price odds are you will like the K1 better. - Van
Can not find this model in Europe, not safe enough? Not tested by Sharp yet, I would go for a five star tested helmet. Check Sharp. There are budget helmets with a five out of five star, realy expensive helmets such as Shoie that only have three stars
Sharp testing is not 100% reliable. This is essentially a reboot of the UK's BSI helmet cert after they adopted the ECE cert. If you do a little research you will find they are not using the proper head forms which makes the test results very hard to trust. - Van
I’m between the i10 and the i70. I like the idea of the sun shield on the i70 so I’m leaning more towards that one. My question- is the i70 compatible with the 10b Bluetooth headset? If not I’ll probably go with the i10. Thanks
I personally prefer the i10 and I do not use the drop down inner shield. You will get more ventilation and a slightly better field of vision with the i10 as compared to the C70. - Van
The RPHA 11 Pro is a solid helmet as well with an ECE cert. IMO each of these helmets has the ability to protect the rider in the event of a crash. Remember proper fit is the key to performance and protection. - Van
is the sizing the same as a hjc modular helmet i have? i need a full face like this one....i wear a 4x in modular but can fit a 3x in cl-17 full face...what size is best in the i10 one?
