Product Information
Full details
This HJC Pinlock 70 Dark Smoke Lens is designed for adult riders using HJC RPHA 10 (HJ-20) helmets with Pinlock-ready visors. Its primary benefit is providing a premium, fog-resistant solution that significantly enhances visibility in challenging weather conditions by preventing visor fogging. A key caveat is that it requires a Pinlock-ready visor with pre-installed pins, and tinted versions are for track use only. Key features include its durable construction, outstanding optical clarity, and ease of swapping to adapt to changing environments.

FAQs
What helmets does the HJC Pinlock 70 HJ-20 fit?
This Pinlock is designed to fit the HJ-20 visor, which is found on specific HJC helmets like the RPHA 10. Always ensure your helmet's visor is Pinlock-ready and compatible with the HJ-20 model.
How do I know if my visor is Pinlock-ready?
A Pinlock-ready visor will have two small, adjustable pins located on the inside surface, near the edges, designed to hold the Pinlock insert.
Can I use the dark smoke Pinlock on public roads?
No, tinted Pinlock lenses, including the dark smoke variant, are strictly for track use only and are not legal or safe for public road use.
How often should I replace my Pinlock lens?
The lifespan varies depending on usage and care. However, if you notice consistent fogging despite proper installation and cleaning, or if the optical clarity degrades, it's time for a replacement.
What is the difference between Pinlock 70 and other Pinlock types?
The Pinlock 70 is considered a premium solution, offering enhanced fog resistance and durability compared to standard or older models. It's known for its strong anti-fog performance and optical clarity.
Can I clean the Pinlock with regular cleaners?
It is not recommended. Use only a soft, damp cloth or a mild soap solution with water. Harsh chemicals or abrasive materials can damage the anti-fog coating.
Troubleshooting
Pinlock lens is fogging up
Ensure the Pinlock lens is properly sealed against the visor. Check the tension of the mounting pins and adjust if necessary. Make sure the anti-fog properties haven't worn off; the lens may need replacement if it's old.
Difficulty installing the Pinlock
Confirm that your visor is Pinlock-ready and has the correct HJ-20 pins. Ensure the pins are loosened enough to allow the Pinlock tabs to slide in. Avoid forcing the lens; re-check alignment.
Visible distortion or optical issues
The Pinlock lens may not be correctly seated, or there might be debris between the Pinlock and the visor. Remove the Pinlock, clean both surfaces, and reinstall carefully.
Tinted Pinlock used on public roads
Tinted Pinlocks are for track use only. Using them on public roads is illegal and unsafe. Replace with a clear Pinlock for road use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces visor fogging in various weather conditions.
- Maintains excellent optical clarity for safe riding.
- Durable material ensures a long lifespan.
- Easy to install and swap between rides.
- Enhances riding comfort by ensuring clear vision.
Cons
- Requires a Pinlock-ready visor with pre-drilled pins.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
- This Pinlock insert is specifically designed for HJC helmets featuring the HJ-20 visor.
- Your visor must be Pinlock-ready, meaning it has the two small adjustable pins already installed.
- This insert will not fit visors that are not Pinlock-ready or do not have the necessary pins.
Setup:
- Ensure your visor is clean and free of debris.
- Gently insert the Pinlock lens by aligning its tabs with the two adjustable pins on the inside of your helmet's visor.
- Press the Pinlock lens firmly onto the pins. You may need to slightly adjust the tension of the pins using a small screwdriver to achieve a snug fit.
- Check that the Pinlock creates a good seal around the edges.
Care:
- Clean the Pinlock lens gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the fog-resistant coating.
- For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse with clean water before drying with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Do not use wipers or sharp objects to clean the lens.
- If the fog-resistant properties diminish over time, it may be time to replace the Pinlock insert.
