*Just to clarify the questions about the vents; it transpires the final production version does not have the rear vents. The 'version' you are seeing with the vents is the pre-production sample we were sent for review which also currently features on HJC’s website and press materials. We were not made aware there would be changes in this respect. We have updated our website info accordingly and have told HJC to amend their imagery! A relatively minor difference but one that has clearly created some confusion.
Wow! the v10 version on the video have vents on the back and a different breath deflector! As the v10 model here in the Philippines lacks the back vents, which would be perfect in particular during hot weather, I hope HJC will give us with this model.
Besides that, we don’t have any smoke or other visors except for the included clear lens. Hoping for the smoke lens becomes available in the Philippines soon.
@@JackMihoff6969 In Malaysia they are selling the helmet with clear and smoke visors, + pinlock all in one package. I thought this would be an Asian thing so it is surprising to hear they don't do the same in the Philippines. Although to be fair, I have found zero signs anywhere of buying individual visors yet.
I've had it for a few months now. I love it. The only issue I have is if you ride around with the visor full open, it whistles like crazy so you really want to close the visor, even in the heat. Simply cracking it open greatly increases the airflow.
Been looking at a lot of retro styled helmets. As soon as I laid my eyes on this (and the price) I knew this was the one. The brands you guys in the UK or US consider affordable are at the top end of pricing in my country. Of course Shoei and Arai are typically expensive too. Disregarding the price, the design is still very nice. 22.06. In my country the primary distributor is selling it with clear and smoke visors, plus the pinlock all in one package. Now how come you guys get the helmets with the exhaust at the back?! I physically tried one on, the exhaust vents were not there. Speed Addicts did a review and they too had lids with no exhausts. What's going on??
It's only one feature away from being the perfect retro helmet, a drop down sun visor, but it's still better than all its main rivals like shoei glamster and arai conceptx.
Hi, did you check into the Scorpion EXO-HX1? It has the inner drop down sun visor and the full face screen shield which you also can replace by a sun peek in summer to ride just with the inner sun visor (or even with goggles) for maximum wind flow. It's looking like the most seasonable and versatile helmet in that vintage/neo-retro/street-fighter/cafe-racer style category imho. 👍
Recently bought one of these in deep green. Fabulous looking helmet. Comfortable and light. One criticism tho, the chinstrap and loops feel pretty cheap and there's not as much padding around the strap as my other Shark helmets. No integrated sun visor and not great with glasses or sunglasses. Great for riding my older bikes though!
I’m diggin’ the design / style of this lid … likin’ the 6 round air vents … I’m a XL intermediate oval and normally wear an Arai Regent X which fits me perfectly and is fairly quiet, wondering if this will be similar ?? Thanks 4 the review!
Is the tinted visor (as shown) included or an accessory / extra? Helmet looks good from a trusted brand…. shame they’re 10 years late to the party! Good overview, thanks 👍🏻
Good helmet, the website says it's a HJ-41 visor. Since I'm from Switzerland and can't find any visors with this description, I wanted to ask if other visors are compatible. Greetings from Zurich
Got to be better than the HJC that I have the catch on the bottom of the visor, my helmet visor broke 3 times in under a year it's hanging up gathering dust bought a shark replaced 1 visor in 4 years, this looks a better system, I had a Griffin helmet late 1970s that had a similar system no thumbscrew a little screw take out with a screw driver, brilliant system then ,
Is anyone having issues with this helmet causing pressure on the top front of their head? Basically right at or above your hairline. I get a lot of pressure that is then painful after about 45 minutes of wearing the helmet. I looked inside and the liner has 3 different panels of material that are stitched together at this point. If anyone else is experiencing this discomfort can you share what you have done to alleviate the issue?
I have both Sena 50s Cardo packtalk edge -used direct wired connection via moulded ear plugs - sound quality better on Cardo no issues in 3 yrs uk thunderstorm with Sena. Sena connections are more technical prob better more secure more options Cardo voice commands better
Just bought one I follow the size guide but it’s almost impossible to get my head into it. The foam on the jaw crushes my cheeks and is very uncomfortable, I don't know if it will get better with time.
How is the fit with glasses?. This seems to have rear vents. In other video's and pictures I've seen show no vents which did put me off. Do the uk versions have vents in the rear?
I want one but am concerned that the RPHA 11 that everyone goes on about like some sort of gold standard looks like it would ruin your day in a side impact according to SHARP - appalling score! So how safe is the V10 (did it pass the 22.06 by much, for instance)?
I have this helmet for a couple of months and I really don’t recommend it. Looks very cool but you can’t ride with the visor open. The whistling sound is incredibly loud.
Hi! The Dark Smoke is currently available here: www.urbanrider.co.uk/hjc-v10-visor-dark-smoke.html and the Smoke is currently on Pre-Order: www.urbanrider.co.uk/hjc-v10-visor-smoke.html Hope this helps! - Iza

Also I noticed that the helmet in the video has a breath deflector. Is that an accessory that can be ordered separately? Thank you !
I’m 3 months into enjoying the HJC V60, this brand are nailing it at the moment.
Great to hear!

That's why I am still debating if I should get this or go for a Shoei's classic style helmet.

Tried this on and was well impressed, I would say probably best in this range so far.
Thank you for sharing!

Hey, is the clear and tinted visor + Pinlock included in the box already?
@@davidnicholson9527hey mate, I just got mine yesterday and it didn't come with a tinted visor, only the pinlock
@@davidnicholson9527 All the V10s come with 1 clear visor and 1 clear pinlock.
is there much wind noise or whistling with the visor closed?
I bought one 3 months ago but struggling to get a tinted visor... please bring few visor options!

tinted visor is not included and you cant buy tinted visor yet, you can preorder it
My Brother bought this in january, this year. He died in August, cracked his head open in a moto accident wearing this. Very useful.

did you find any solution to this? greetings back from zrh

Amazing looking retro helmet ❤
It really is!
I buy these. But on my dark visor you vsn8see the pinlock Pins outside. In the Video there are no Pins on the dark visior
nice looking helmet ! altho not a fan of the Sena comp, they are not as good as cardo, right ?
I have both Sena 50s Cardo packtalk edge -used direct wired connection via moulded ear plugs - sound quality better on Cardo no issues in 3 yrs uk thunderstorm with Sena. Sena connections are more technical prob better more secure more options Cardo voice commands better
Can you share the Sena Bluetooth Intercom which you mentioned in the video
Mega cool helmet 🤩🏍️👌
Just bought one I follow the size guide but it’s almost impossible to get my head into it. The foam on the jaw crushes my cheeks and is very uncomfortable, I don't know if it will get better with time.
wonder could you ride with the black visor at nighttime ?
I like it. It looks a bit like a Roof. Nick J
what about the eps structure? how many layers etc
How is the fit with glasses?.
This seems to have rear vents. In other video's and pictures I've seen show no vents which did put me off. Do the uk versions have vents in the rear?
I really want to know the same thing
I want one but am concerned that the RPHA 11 that everyone goes on about like some sort of gold standard looks like it would ruin your day in a side impact according to SHARP - appalling score! So how safe is the V10 (did it pass the 22.06 by much, for instance)?
Hi! the V10 is a 22.06 approved where as the R-PHA11 is 22.05.
I own gsr 600.. do you recommend it for 160km or more speed?
So is the clear and tinted visor + Pinlock included in the box?
Hi David, The helmet comes with a clear visor and Pinlock anti-fog insert.
Tinted visor can be purchased as extra. - Iza
@@UrbanRiderlondon ahh nice one, just wasn't sure as I know the RPHA 11 and others sometimes have them all right out of the box. Thanks again.
Cool helmet 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I have this helmet for a couple of months and I really don’t recommend it. Looks very cool but you can’t ride with the visor open. The whistling sound is incredibly loud.
I wonder if that black visor does a problem for night rides ?
@@Team-fabuloussometimes riding with the visor open is what you want to do, especially round town.
If is closed? Again to loud?
Mee to also using this helmet this guy right but if you close the visor whistling sound is cant enter the helmet
@@abdullahberketopuz1934would you recommend the helmet overall?. Given the complaints about noise
Can the D-ring system be replaced with a quick release?.
Hi, It's not something that can be changed! Please also note that the D-Ring system is the most safest option! - Iza
Lovely design, but like a lot of helmets it's not low profile and is quite bulky.
As helmets are getting safer and having to meet stricter safety regulations they are getting more bulky, it’s too bad but it’s just the reality.
What jacket is that ? I’m definitely buying it.
Hi, it's the Pando Moto Twin Leather jacket: www.urbanrider.co.uk/pando-moto-twin-leather-jacket-black.html - Iza :)
HJC was good at copying the Simpson Venom, changing only the form of the air vents.
What visor is being used for this video?
Hi! It's this one: www.urbanrider.co.uk/hjc-v10-visor-dark-smoke.html - Iza
Hi! is that the dark smoke or the smoke visor?
Hi, it's the smoke visor! - Iza
@@UrbanRiderlondon thanks! another question (i didn't get if it was answered in the video or not hahah) but how is it regarding wind noise? cheers
May I ask is it glass friendly?
I wear Oakle frogs and aviators style glasses, works ok, slightly tight but not uncomfortable.
@@Aquadug Thanks. Mine is a bit thinner, I think it will fit
Looks like darth vader😮
How do we get visors
