HJC HQ-1, AC-12

Best of the Rest
|
 |
While HJC helmets are made in China, the firm claims the number-one spot in US helmet sales, and also takes much of the market in Europe. Its helmets are generally aimed at those on a budget, and some of its cheaper designs are probably best suited to scooter riders. But its top-spec HQ-1 (dubbed the AC-12 in America) is a pretty well-put-together design. With an outer shell made from carbon fibre composite materials, it’s a light, yet tough design. Comprehensive vents provide ample air-flow through the helmet, keeping you cool and dry, and the interior is well-padded and comfortable on a long ride. The ‘Rapidfire’ visor change system is quick and easy to use, and the removable breath guard and chin curtain help reduce visor misting.
HJC sponsors top AMA racer Ben Spies, and the HQ-1 is available in his replica paintwork.
