HJC SMART 21B AND 50B BLUETOOTH HEADSET REVIEW
• HJC Smart 21B and 50B ...
The i71 pushes the boundaries for a Sport-Touring model with its new sleek shell design. The Advanced Polycarbonate helmet now has 3 shells throughout the 6 available sizes to help optimize weight and comfort for the rider. The rearranged top vent with enlarged mouth vents allows increased air intake and ventilation. Also new with the i71 are both face shield and sun visor. The HJ-38 Pinlock ready face shield comes with a new PE (Push/Eject) locking system for improved safety, yet still easy to use with gloves. The new sun visor (HJ-V12) provides a new 3-position option for the rider to adjust the sun shield forward (up to 10mm) delivering ideal sun visor protection. The i71 will also accept the second-generation Smart HJC Bluetooth systems.

The difference is the EPS lining. EU model has a thicker EPS lining and weights more because of it. I called HJC America and asked.

Does the i71 have true ECE safety certifications ? I checked the HJC pages for US and Europe, and it says only DOT in US but says ECE 22-06 in the european page, so which is it ??

@SpeedAddictsTV Жыл бұрын

Overall, the HJC i71 helmet is a great option for riders who wear prescription glasses or sunglasses, as it is designed with eyewear compatibility in mind. With its glasses groove feature and comfortable fit, it can provide a great riding experience for all riders, regardless of their eyewear needs.

@johngraham8052 Жыл бұрын

@@threeheavensmusic Apart from looking like a numpty there are far more suitable helmets if you want a visor i.e. the Scorpion ADX1 or newer ADX2. (which is ECE22.06 approved). The ADX1 is the better lid if you can find it though. A road bike lid off road significantly reduces your peripheral view which is a pretty important consideration if there are animals or others about. Most serious off road people don't want a visor helmet though as you will invariably scratch the visor so most will run an MX helmet with goggles.

would you recommend the i71 or the c91? in terms of safety and overall function

Hello. I have one question. My measurement is 57cm and I have a more round face. For example the Icon airflite rubatone LARGE did not fit my head. I could put it on after some work but it was tight. So should I go for medium or large size for this helmet?

I've just bought one in France and I notice my i71 is different than the US version since it's equipped with a micro-buckle... Why is the name model exactly the same, then ?

@SpeedAddictsTV Жыл бұрын

Sometimes manufacturers take different design choices for how they believe they'll be received in that market.

@madcockney Жыл бұрын

I believe Europe, other than the UK, receive the micro-buckle. There are plenty of helmets that are exactly the same other than the fastening method, and have the same model name. (However, in the USA and Canada you will find what we get in Europe sometimes do have a different name for the same model even with the same fastening method, etc.) The product number will usually be different between the models when there is a difference. You would expect this if it is destined for the North American market and also DOT approved.

Do other coms units fit on those cut outs on the side as well or is it only compatible with the HJC ones?

@SpeedAddictsTV Жыл бұрын

Yes, you will be able to install other comm speakers in the pockets. The only exception may be the Cardo Packtalk Black as it comes with extra large 44mm speakers. All other units should be an easy install.

@verifiednobody7836 Жыл бұрын

@SpeedAddictsTV I was referring to mounting the units on the side of the helmets not so much the speaker cutouts. It seems like the cavities on the sides of the helmets would make mounting the coms unit there difficult.

@SpeedAddictsTV Жыл бұрын

@@verifiednobody7836 not ideal placement, but defiantly do-able. Both clamp and adhesive mounts will work either in front or behind the integrated comms door. We tested with a Cardo Packtalk Edge and Neo.

Order my hjc i71 today but don't know whether to order the 21b or 50b. Do you when you will be making the video thank you for your time

@SpeedAddictsTV Жыл бұрын

Hey Jamie - We shot the video on the HJC Smart 21 and 50B last week. The video should be up within 24 hours. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it! The two primary differences between the units are Voice Commands / Digital Assistant and Mesh capabilities. The 50B has both and the 21B has neither. Otherwise they are evenly matched (same speakers and audio quality). So if you don't mind using the physical control buttons and you don't need mesh (large riding groups), than the 21B is a killer deal.
