I’m excited! I got the black matte/gloss helmet to match my bike. It’s aero (wind tunnel tested results), light (190g), safe (real life blog from a rider who sustained a bad wreck with no head injury), and comfortable (good venting in warm conditions based on online reviews).
I know it’s not the most popular aero road helmet choice, but I’ve always been one to go against convention. It’ passes Korean and EU standard, but I don’t plan to race with it in North America. Just road riding as I have a separate racing helmet.
where did you buy it? i’ve been looking at this helmet recently. its out there in the Peloton and i think it’s a good looking helmet. it’s just unfortunate HJC doesn’t have any US distributors so it’s taking a chance on the fit.
I bought it from BikeInn. They’re based in Girona Spain, but deliver worldwide. They ship via USPS or DHL. USPS was $9.95. They had a coupon code for $8.20, so shipping was $1.75. It’s supposed to deliver April 15-18. Hopefully it will fit. I used the suggested size chart and also talked to someone with the same head measurement of 58cm who got a M/L, so it should be good.

HJC sells a lot of motorcycle helmets in the US, so they’re not completely clueless about the market.
