Product Details
The HJC C71 FABER MC5 Black is an ECE 22.06 full-face motorcycle helmet developed for sport riding, touring, commuting and everyday road use. Its FABER MC5 Black and grey graphic has a gloss finish and combines HJC's lightweight Advanced Polycarbonate Compound shell with a wide-view visor, an integrated dark smoke sun shield and race-inspired aerodynamics.
Who is the HJC C71 FABER MC5 Black for?
This helmet is suited to sport, naked-bike and urban riders who prefer a dark graphic with the everyday versatility of HJC's C71 sport-touring platform. Its combination of a full-face design, internal sun shield and practical ventilation makes it relevant to regular commuters as well as leisure and touring riders. Helmet fit remains individual, so use the measurements below as a starting point and check for even, secure contact without painful pressure points.
Protection, aerodynamics and comfort
HJC positions the C71 as a versatile sport-touring helmet for sport and naked-bike riders and urban commuters. The Advanced Polycarbonate Compound shell is designed to reduce fatigue, while the race-inspired profile helps reduce lift and drag for improved stability at higher speeds. The helmet is produced in three shell sizes to support a more proportionate fit across its size range.
HJC's Advanced Channeling Ventilation System uses three intake ports and five exhaust outlets to draw cool air in and move warm air out. Enlarged front and mouth intakes direct fresh air towards the visor and breathing area to help limit moisture build-up.
The clear HJ-34P visor has an anti-scratch coating, provides 99% UV protection and uses a quick, secure ratchet system. It is Pinlock-ready for the DKS463 insert, which is sold separately. A dark smoke HJ-V12 internal sun shield is fitted for convenient glare reduction.
HJC's Perfect Fit interior uses moisture-wicking, quick-drying and antibacterial fabric. The liner is fully removable and washable, while interchangeable cheek pads allow the fit to be fine-tuned. Speaker-ready pockets support compatible Bluetooth communication systems, and HJC's current C71 specification lists a secure double D-ring retention system.

Moto Central helmet fitting guidance
A secure helmet fit depends on both head circumference and head shape. If you can visit us, our team can help assess the fit at the Moto Central showroom in Wolvey. The following guides explain two of the most important checks.
If Your Helmet Does This, It Doesn't Fit
Our practical guide explains the movement and pressure checks that help show whether a motorcycle helmet fits securely.
Your Helmet Might Be the Right Size, But the Wrong Shape
Helmet size is only part of the fit. This Moto Central guide explains how head shape can make two helmets in the same labelled size feel very different.
