HJC i20

The HJC i20 is an ECE 22.06 open-face motorcycle helmet with a removable streetfighter-style mask and manually operated HJ-V10 eye-protection visor. Moto Central's current collection contains the matt black helmet plus clear and dark smoke replacement HJ-V10 visors.

The detachable mask changes the helmet's appearance and the airflow around the lower face, but it is not a protective full-face chin bar. Choose the i20 with the coverage of an open-face helmet clearly understood, then decide whether the mask and visor arrangement suit your riding.

HJC i20 features at a glance

Is the HJC i20 right for your riding?

The i20 suits riders who want open-face coverage with a more enclosed visual style around the lower face. The removable mask can help deflect direct airflow and gives the helmet its distinctive appearance, while the broad eye shield provides a different feel from goggles or a conventional long open-face visor.

The mask should not be treated as impact protection equivalent to a certified chin bar. The chin and lower face remain more exposed than they would be in a full-face or closed flip-front helmet. Decide whether that protection format is appropriate before considering the styling.

Choosing the correct i20 size

HJC lists the original i20 from XS to 2XL across three shell sizes. Measure around the widest part of the head just above the eyebrows and ears, then compare the result with the chart on the exact product page and our motorcycle helmet sizing guide.

The crown and cheek areas should feel evenly firm without a concentrated pressure point. Secure the retention system, then gently rotate and roll the helmet. The lining should move the skin rather than sliding freely around the head, and the helmet should resist being rolled forwards off.

Fit the removable mask and move the HJ-V10 visor during the fitting. Confirm that neither component touches the nose, spectacles or face, and try the glasses or earplugs normally used on the motorcycle.

Removable mask and visor operation

Detach and refit the mask using the sequence in HJC's instructions. Both sides should engage securely and the component should sit evenly without forcing. Do not modify the shell or mask clips if alignment is poor.

The HJ-V10 is moved manually using tabs at the visor edges. Operate both sides evenly so the shield does not twist in its guides. Check that it travels freely and remains stable in the required position before riding.

Keep the visor slot and mask attachments clear of dirt. A loose mask, cracked mount or shield that will not stay in place should be corrected before the helmet is used.

Clear and dark smoke HJ-V10 visors

The clear HJ-V10 is the practical primary visor for mixed conditions, poor light and night riding. The dark smoke version changes the light reaching the rider and is intended for suitable bright conditions.

Confirm HJ-V10 on the existing component or helmet documentation before ordering. The i20N successor also uses an HJ-V10 reference in current HJC material, but compatibility should still be checked against the exact product listing and helmet generation rather than assumed from the similar model name.

A smoke visor should be raised or replaced before visibility becomes compromised. Carry the clear alternative when the journey may continue after dark or through changing weather, and check all markings and road-use guidance before setting off.

Ventilation, lining and communication preparation

The i20 has top and mask-area ventilation, but airflow varies with road speed, screen height, mask position and weather. Check that the controls remain clear and can be operated while wearing gloves.

HJC specifies removable and washable crown and cheek pads, glasses grooves and preparation for SMART HJC 10B and 20B communication systems. Those units are sold separately. Route any wiring behind the comfort lining without cutting or compressing the protective EPS.

Wash the interior gently according to HJC's instructions and let every component dry naturally. Avoid fuel, solvents, aggressive household cleaners and direct heat around the shell, visor, mask and protective liner.

Why buy an HJC i20 from Moto Central?

Moto Central places the available matt black i20 alongside its clear and dark smoke HJ-V10 replacement visors, making it easier to compare the helmet and identify the correct eye shield. Our team can help assess open-face fit, demonstrate the mask and confirm the visor reference.
