How about HJC motorcycle helmet brand introduction

全盔推荐型号:IS-17、HQ1、FG ST、FG-17
 
Recommended model for face cover: IS-MAX II
 
I believe that Chinese riders are no strangers to the brand HJC, a South Korean helmet brand founded in 1971, not only often shows its face in the MotoGP field, but also often can be found in major motorcycle forums in China. HJC is very famous in China and is also the world's leading helmet brand in terms of sales, but the quality of the world's top helmet brand is a bit exaggerated.
 
According to data from SHARP, an authoritative helmet evaluation agency, the quality of HJC's helmet products is uneven, with the overall majority of 3 stars and covering all categories from 1 star to 5 stars, which is in great contrast to its brand background. The RPHA 10 and RPHA 11 are HJC's claimed best-performing helmets, but in SHARP's brute-force crash tests, the two helmets performed very poorly on both sides, with an overall score of just 3 stars, which is disappointing compared to their expensive price tag of around £260.
 
The best performer in the SHARP test was not the main RPHA 11, but the IS-17, HQ1 and FG ST, three 5-star products, all of which are securely fitted with double D buckles. Among them, the IS-17 and FG ST, priced at £140 and £200 respectively, are the most cost-effective, these two helmets not only have multiple ventilation holes to make the helmet breathable, but also have practical features such as built-in sun visors, quick lens removal and removable and washable lining, the only regret is that neither helmet is currently equipped with pinlock anti-fog lenses. THE £270 HQ1 ALSO RECEIVED A 5-STAR RATING, BUT ITS PROTECTION PERFORMANCE WAS BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS TWO 5-STAR PRODUCTS, AND ALL OF THE HELMET'S COLLISION POINTS WERE RATED VERY GOOD IN SHARP.
 
Among the unmasked helmets, HJC's most recommended is the IS-MAX II, which costs £125, and this model is the only unmasked helmet to receive a SHARP 4 star with good security. In terms of functionality, the IS-MAX II helmet with dual lenses has multiple ventilation holes on the surface, which effectively dissipates moisture and heat inside the helmet. In addition, the removable lining also provides convenience for later maintenance.
