The i70 is a modern and sleek sport-touring helmet composed of HJC's advanced polycarbonate material. The full-face shell is noticeably more compact and lighter than its predecessor, the IS-17. The i70 features an inner, drop-down sunshield with a new, easy-to-use lever. Top vents optimize ventilation into the interior air channels and out through the exterior exhaust vent with an aerodynamic spoiler design.

How is the aerodynamics (eg for head checks at motorway speeds) and the noise insulation? I find some cheaper helmets they catch the wind, and jolt the head sometimes... My arai is the most aerodynamic, but its very noisy.
@sportbiketrackgear 3 жыл бұрын
This is not a helmet I plan to ride in personally. The biggest difference between high end helmets and those that are more affordable will be performance while riding. You almost always get much better aerodynamics, less noise and better venting with more expensive helmets. Also important to note proper helmet fit is key for good performance. If the helmet is too big it will be be much noisier than it is designed to be. - Van

I own one, great helmet! Is there a way to adjust the drop down? Recently my drop down is being a pain and not coming down fully, it gets stuck and I have to pull it down manually
@sportbiketrackgear 3 жыл бұрын
Sorry I do not believe there is an adjustment. Pretty sure that would be covered under warranty and could be repaired or replaced. Before you call it in take a look at the inner shield and make sure it is clipped in all the way. - Van

Does this replace the IS 17? if so, does it have the same fit as the IS 17? I have the IS 17 and want to upgrade; the RPHA 70 st is much better than the i 70? So I can order the same size as the IS 17. Thanks.
@sportbiketrackgear 4 жыл бұрын
I would say the fit between the i70 and the IS 17 is very similar and you could go with the same size. The i70 is a bit nicer than the IS 17. Now to be fair the RPHA 70 is much nicer than both the i70 and the IS 17 as it should be considering the price difference between them. If you decide to go with the RPHA 70 we have found this helmet to run smaller than marked for most. I wear a medium in the i70 and a large in the RPHA 70. - Van

@sportbiketrackgear does the dropdown visor lever being on the side cause any issues with installing a com system? I am torn between this one and the i10. I like the graphics on this a little better and the sun visor is a plus. But the i10 is SNELL and is set up for the 10B com system. Any input?

So, this is an upgrade of the IS17. The main reason I got the IS17 is because of the 5 star SHARP rating. Any idea if Sharp is going to test this? Internal sunvisor helmets have 0 chance of getting Snell approved. I'm just looking for a + over just DOT/ECE.
