Product Information

Full details

The HJC I91 Motorcycle Helmet is designed for adult touring and cruising riders seeking versatility and enhanced safety. Its key benefit lies in its P/J dual homologation, allowing seamless transitions between full-face and open-face configurations without compromising protection. A potential caveat is its compatibility with specific Bluetooth systems, requiring the 2nd gen Smart HJC (sold separately). This helmet features an advanced polycarbonate shell, aerodynamic design, a Pinlock-ready visor, an integrated sun shield, and ECE 22/06 certification.

FAQs

Is the HJC I91 helmet suitable for all weather conditions?

The helmet is designed for a wide range of conditions. The Pinlock-ready visor helps prevent fogging, and the integrated sun shield manages glare. However, like any helmet, extreme conditions like heavy rain or freezing temperatures may affect visibility and comfort. Always ensure your vision is clear before riding.

How do I clean the interior of the helmet?

The interior padding is typically removable. Hand wash it with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the helmet. Avoid machine washing or using a dryer.

Can I install a different brand of Bluetooth system?

The HJC I91 is specifically designed to be compatible with the 2nd gen Smart HJC Bluetooth system. While other Bluetooth units might be physically adaptable, full integration and optimal performance are only guaranteed with the designated HJC system.

What is the difference between P and J homologation?

P homologation certifies the helmet as safe in its full-face configuration, protecting the chin bar. J homologation certifies it as safe in its open-face configuration, where the chin bar is open. The I91 has both, meaning it meets safety standards in both states.

How do I know if I have the right size helmet?

A properly fitting helmet should be snug around your head without causing pain. It should not easily shift forward, backward, or side-to-side when you move your head. Consult the HJC sizing chart and measure your head circumference for guidance.

Is the helmet noisy at high speeds?

The HJC I91 features an aerodynamic design intended to reduce noise and wind resistance. However, noise levels can vary based on individual head shape, riding position, and external factors. For maximum quietness, ensure the visor is fully sealed and consider using earplugs on long rides.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly too tight, wear it for short periods to allow the liner to break in. If too loose, consider adding thin comfort padding or exchanging for a smaller size. The internal structure is not adjustable beyond the padding.

Visor fogs up easily.

Ensure the visor is fully closed and sealed. Consider using a Pinlock anti-fog insert, which is specifically designed for the HJ-33 visor. Riding with the visor slightly cracked open can also help, but may reduce noise protection.

Sun shield is difficult to operate.

Check for any obstructions or debris around the slider mechanism. Ensure the main visor is fully open or closed before attempting to adjust the sun shield, as some mechanisms may have interlocks. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Buckle is hard to fasten or unfasten.

Ensure the interlocking parts of the buckle are clean and free of dirt or grime. Gently wiggle the buckle while engaging or disengaging it. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the mechanism.

Chin bar does not lock securely in open or closed position.

Verify that the chin bar is fully extended or retracted and that the locking mechanism has engaged properly. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing a secure lock. If the locking mechanism appears damaged or faulty, do not use the helmet in full-face mode and seek professional inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Initial Fit: Ensure the helmet fits snugly and comfortably. The internal padding and 3D contour design should provide a secure feel without pressure points. Adjust the chin strap using the One-Touch Buckle Locking System for a firm but comfortable fit.
  2. Visor Operation: The main HJ-33 visor operates via a lever on the side. Ensure it clicks securely into the closed position. For the integrated sun shield, locate the slider mechanism (typically on the side or top) and move it to deploy or retract the shield.
  3. Pinlock Installation: If using a Pinlock anti-fog insert, ensure the visor is clean and free of debris. Align the insert's pins with the posts on the main visor and press gently until it snaps into place.
  4. Bluetooth Installation: If installing the 2nd gen Smart HJC system, follow the separate installation guide provided with the Bluetooth unit. This typically involves fitting speakers and a microphone into designated recesses within the helmet.

Compatibility:

  • Visor: The HJ-33 visor is Pinlock-ready. Other visor types or anti-fog treatments may not be compatible.
  • Sun Shield: The integrated sun shield is designed for this model and is not replaceable with aftermarket options.
  • Bluetooth: Specifically designed for the 2nd gen Smart HJC system. Compatibility with other brands or older generations of HJC systems is not guaranteed.
  • Glasses Wearers: The helmet's interior is designed to accommodate eyeglasses, though fit may vary based on frame size.

Care:

  • Shell: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or shell material.
  • Visors: Clean the main visor and sun shield with a soft, damp cloth. Use a dedicated visor cleaner if needed. Do not use harsh chemicals. The anti-scratch coating can be damaged by abrasive materials.
  • Interior: The interior padding can typically be removed for cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then allow to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Ventilation: Keep ventilation ports clear of debris to ensure proper airflow.
