- HJC F70 Helmet Review
rvz.la/2UoI3OZ
The HJC F70 helmet delivers hardcore protection in a featherweight package, thanks to its fiberglass composite shell. The helmet also features HJC’s ACS Advanced Channeling Ventilation System for superior airflow. Additional features include MultiCool™ interior material, an HJ-32 Pinlock-ready face shield (lens insert sold separately), HJ-V9 drop down internal sun visor with One-Touch deployment mechanism, speaker pockets, and a Bluetooth-ready design. (Uses SMART HJC 10B or 20B Bluetooth communicators, sold separately.) The HJC F70 is DOT/ECE approved. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thank you for taking the time to point out the speaker recesses. Last time I bought a helmet from HJC...I didn't even think about those. I still got it done, but it would have been far easier with them.
I was waiting for this review when I saw this helmet featured on fortnine. I was surprised you hadn't released it yet.
This is the first helmet I bought and currently use. Definitely fits tights on the cheeks and feels pretty long from front to back. Great helmet tho🤌🏻
Is this the Revzilla where I can WATCH, DECIIDE AND RIDE?
Yeah, where's Anthony anyways?? 🤣😂
this is my dream helmet hjc,, thank u 4 dis video,, godbless...
I feel like I just teleported to an alternate dimension where Brandon works for RevZilla instead of Cycle Gear. Into the cycle-verse or some shit.
Any idea when the 70 carbon going to be in stock ? Looking forward to a review of it.
As someone who has used the RPHA 11 model, I must say that the air ventilation works well. But in the winter it gets a little too cold for me. How’s the winter performance of F70 in the cold days?
didnt mentioned about visor lowest position.. how low the first position is?
Has the rear box caused compatibility issues for communication systems with rear mounted batteries?
How does this compare to their RPHA 70ST?
I'm getting the f70 carbon.
Is Best this f70 or rpha 70?for noise this f70 or scorpion exo 1400 Air?Thankyou
Just picked up the white version :D
HOW do you like it so far?
Hi there, Thank You for the review. I got the redbull speilberg finish helmet for $145 shipped.
Since I saved some money on it, I want to waste it on some face Shields.
Here is a video request. Can you guys install all the different colors of face Shields provided for each model? Few mins time to make lots of CZcams views and bucks in return? Please show them in different lighting conditions like outdoor and indoor etc?
Try to show it on two colors probably black or white helmet.
Is the color matte black or metallic grey?
Anyone know what color that helmet is? Doesn't match the choices on the site. Is it the matt grey?
Was anyone able to install the Cardo Packtalk Slim communicator on the HJC F70 helmet ?
What about this special Sena compartment at the rear of the helmet, can Cardo somehow fit over/in it?
Does the internal sun-visor mechanism gets in way of the Cardo controller clips?
The helmet is not listed on the Cardo site under helmets comparability, but I wonder if anyone in the real world did it...
RPHA 11 or F70?
Isn't the internal sun visor control positioned where a lot of communications systems would be mounted? I personally prefer the mechanism to be locate "behind the ear" on the left side.
It appears to me the visor mechanism is actually in front of where a communicator would go. Considering it is designed to accept them, I suspect it is fine.
Can I use the drop in tinted visor with out the clear one? Or do I have to use both shields when using the inner tinted
You can use the tinted visor by itself without having to put down the main visor.
I see it's designed for the HJC system, what's the size and depth of those speaker cups? Could you verify if the JBL speakers that are offered as an upgrade for the Cardo system would fit without issue or would they protrude out? That seems to be the issue with most helmets, the mounting depth isn't enough without causing pain on the ears once the helmet is on.
I've fitted out the I10, F70 and I90 (all of HJC's Smart HJC adaptable helmets) and have not noticed the speakers protruding, even when trying on a smaller helmet than what I normally wear. You shouldn't have these issues.
I know this isn’t marketed as an ADV helmet but I’m wondering if that eye port is big enough to accept a pair of goggles?
Does it offer less wind noise than agv k3?
Only slightly quieter, but your best bet is to wear earplugs while riding. That's a $3 fix to all wind noise regardless of helmet you choose. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
I really wish that helmet makers wouldn't put the sun visor mechanism right where an aftermarket intercom unit would mount.
Agree
It's designed so you have to buy their proprietary system or a senna comm.
@@rbptheprettiest Not necessarily. Cardo's Freecom series all come with a 3M mount as well as the clip, but both can be installed without interfering with the internal visor slide systems (and vice versa). They even mark on the edge of the helmet where you can install the clip style mount so it doesn't interfere
I’m still waiting for Anthony, where is Anthony
I can listen to his voice all day, hahaha
I watched the rpha 10/11 review and it says i need to pick size larger, is this the same as those helmet? Tia!
The F70 fits true to size compared to the size chart. And if you think Brandon's regular voice is nice, you should hear him sing! If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
@@RevZilla thank you revzilla!
I bet he sing very well! ☺️
this or the LS2 challenger? Which would be the one (slightly) better in all characteristics you mentioned?
Both are great options and it will come down to your choice really. Both have extremely similar features and price point will likely play a heavy factor in most rider's decision between the two. Follow your heart. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
I lost that chin curtain extension on the freeway and can't find a replacement - even the "f70 chin curtain" that is sold on your site and everywhere else is a different design. Any ideas where I can find that original?
The only one that we are aware of is the direct replacement that HJC offers that I'll link below. If you are looking to locate something different though, contact HJC directly for a part number might be the best option.

I wear glasses and with a pinlock never have trouble with a visor fogging, but if its wet, my glasses are a dead cert. Will that rubber insert stop my glasses fogging?
@Bob Ross I do - and it lets the rain in!
Incredible, I was just looking into this yesterday as compared to their I70 model.
How would you say they compare (other than the obvious material), worth the extra buck?
Both helmets are very similar, but we do like that the F70 has the fiberglass shell over the polycarb option for the i70. Both are solid options though. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
I'm sure it's pretty subjective, but is there reasonable room behind the sun visor for regular glasses?
Assuming there's the same room as with the HJC IS Max 2 that I wear, you'll be fine
Yes. I've had plenty of HJC lids and have tried this one on, as I'm thinking of getting the F70 Carbon. You shouldn't have any clearance issues.
Hjc f70 Vs airoh st501?
Hello. Is it as tight as they say? I have a head circumference of 58.5 cm, it is in a helmet size between M and L. I have always bought M, but in this helmet they say that it fits too much. What do you recommend me?
We'd go with the MD. It'll be tight out of the box (as all helmets are) but once it breaks in should be the right fit. Last thing you want is a loose helmet that might not protect you in a crash.
The internal sun visor go inaf down,like ls2 chalenger?.
Thank you for the video.
Best regards!.
Apologies, I don't know what you are asking. Please reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455 and they will be happy to help out with your inquiry. Ride safe, -Pat
@@RevZilla I think he's asking if the inter visor drops down as low as that LS2 helmet he mentioned.
How does this fit for people with glasses? Especially with the internal visor
Just tried this helmet on with my glasses at a local shop and works well. Internal visor not an issue.
Does RevZilla sell the pinlock insert that works with this visor? Because all of the ones I looked at on the website didn't have the f70 listed on the compatibility list.
We will have it listed soon, since this is a new face shield from HJC we are just waiting on the Pinlock Lens to be available. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
@@RevZilla thanks
Just bought this now and in our country the pinlock is inside the box when you buy it
Please can you review HJC V90 ?
It is in the works but given COVID and that our studio/headquarters has been on a work-from-home order for the past few months, it might take us longer than usual. Keep an eye out for it in the future. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
Is there any way to upgrade the chin curtain? (face is freezing)
The best way would be to add a balaclava to your cold weather gear list. Chin curtains are great, but balaclava's are better for higher speeds.
Really disappointed that HJC decided to omit the quick release visor option on this lid. Not a deal breaker, but to have it on nearly every other helmet but this one is just a bit odd.
But anyway...most reviews I've read tout this as being a pretty quiet helmet, but Champion Helmets review showed it as being quite loud. Any clarification on that...anyone?
Another review from Sport Bike Track says the fit is a bit more on the oval side than intermediate oval. Any clarification on that also?
Fits Intermediate oval in our opinion. And wind noise is subjective based on a hundred different factors even things like your arm length, angle of your head, and features on your bike that can be pushing wind towards the helmet. So many factors that helmet manufacturers rarely aim to tackle wind noise as a major factor anymore. The easiest fix is a box of $5 ear plugs from your local pharmacy to save your ears and eliminate wind noise without hindering your ability to ride. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
@@RevZilla Thanks!
@@RevZilla not a great solution if you plan to use speakers
is there a blacked out or colored reflective visor you can buy for this?
There are tinted shields available for the helmet here:

Thanks bro now I have to remember this video for when I can ride a motorcycle, I’m 14 but motorcycles is all I want to do, so I’m already planning out a gear list
Ahead beyond future look a bit sci-fi
I measure exactly 23 inches which puts me exactly 0.2 inches larger than medium and 0.2 inches smaller than large. Should I size up or size down? I have a very slender face but kinda poofy hair and I wear glasses. Help !
Size up
Looking for dark shield replacements online, has anybody been able to find one?

Anybody know the visor part number? Scrapped mine up pretty good in an accident
www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/hjc-hj-32-pinlock-ready-face-shield
Would you say this is better than icon airflite?
I'm wondering if it's quieter...
That's a subjective question. It really depends on what you're trying to compare. The Air Flite is a long oval style helmet while the F70 caters more towards the intermediate oval head shape, so as far as fitment is concerned, it really depends on your own head shape. I will say that the Air Flite, imo as I own the 2018 Good Fortune graphic, is a louder helmet when it comes to wind noise. Also, the F70 is easier to get on and off while the Air Flite has that more gauntlet style shape to it, making it a little more difficult to put on and take off. Both helmets have their pros and cons, and tbh the only way for you to really get an answer is to go out to your local dealer and fit out for those helmets.
What color is being showcased in this video?
Semi-Flat Titanium. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or cs@revzilla.com. Ride safe, -Pat

Thank you for asking! I was wondering the same
hold up???? Didnt he work for cycle gear ??? he jump ship and ran to Revzilla ohhh snap lol hey you took you talents to Philly...lol
Revzilla and Cycle Gear were bought by the same company.
Is this good for long oval heads? Ive been wearing arai signet q for 5 years
This is a true intermediate oval shape. If you are comfortable in the Signet Q I would suggest something like the Airflite or Stream for a long option with an internal visor:

Why no Snell approval on this full face helmet?
The internal sun visor this helmet sports will not pass SNELL certifications. Ride Safe! -Brandon
@@RevZilla Forgive my ignorance but what limitation does an internal sun visor do for safety? Why do SNELL not look kindly on that?
The Sun visor adds extra weight and space where it needs to retract which does not meet the Snell standards.
@@RevZilla Thank you.

This or agv k6?
If you are after a drop down sun-visor, this F70. If you want low profile and light weight, the AGV K6. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at CS@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
How much
Please click the link below the video for the most updated pricing and specific pricing for the color/graphic that you are after. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
Is that snell certified?
This helmet does not carry a SNELL rating, but does have ECE and DOT certification.
I hope that helps!
-Zack
@@RevZilla thanks
Protects against Corona too lol 😂
According to HJC, the F70 carbon is only DOT approved. Not ECE! The fiberglass looks to be both DOT and ECE approved...go figure. Pretty disappointing. Revzilla- you might want to clarify.
100% correct - our product pages for the F70 and F70 Carbon reflect this information. HJC was still on the fence about certifications for the Carbon when this standard F70 launched. We had already shot/launched this video at the time so weren't able to change it or edit it unfortunately. But the information on our product pages / product description-listings is current and up to date.

Is this good if you wear glasses?
Yes, this will work with prescription glasses. Anything larger like sunglasses might cause some pinching or tension on the temples/side of head. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or CS@revzilla.com. Ride safe, -Pat
Only dot approved, would really prefer an ece as well.
It is ECE approved.
Nothing new here.
Seems it has worst ventilation than RPHA 11.
Does anyone have a link to get mirrored visors for shoei RF-1200 ?
...... www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/shoei-cwr-1-pinlock-ready-face-shield
RevZilla thank you!
It needs some lipstick
Whats up with that ultra low front area? Good for absolutely nothing. Pass.
Same as every other helmet they've made and maybe worse, rpha70 is better than this.
first?
Congratulations
