This is a little over what HJC claim but is still up there as one of the lighter helmets on the market. The padding sits on raised sections on the inside of the helmet shell, allowing pretty good airflow from the five front vents to the six rear vents through the channels in between. This is effectively a sprung loaded variation that automatically adjusts itself to provide what HJC deems to be the correct amount of retention pressure to your cranium in order to keep the helmet from rattling off your head. This is a little over what HJC claim but is still up there as one of the lighter helmets on the market. It also suddenly made me realise that I have probably been over tightening my helmets over recent years. The HJC Furion helmet is comfortable, although I didn’t find it quite such a good fit as the HJC Ibex. Check out the scale here. Airflow is also very good thanks to the sixteen vents strategically placed around the shell and it coped admirably during our (sadly, since passed) hot summer. The Furion’s padding strips sit on raised ridges to help with airflow between them. This was of course not the case, in fact the system provided one of the most comfortable experiences of wearing a cycle helmet I’ve had so far. It’s only 5mm shorter front to rear, but I did find this resulted in it sitting more on my forehead and the back of my head rather than the pressure being more evenly distributed. Korean brand HJC has debuted on the cycling scene with the HJC Furion aero helmet and the HJC Ibex vented helmet worn by the Lotto-Soudal pro team this year. The padding is treated with silver ions to help keep odours at bay too. Like the HJC Ibex, the HJC Furion helmet has been aero tested by HJC, which specialises in motorcycle helmets and has only recently branched out into cycling helmets. I would be prepared to put up with a little extra weight in response to the extra reassurance this technology can bring. It has to be one of the most comfortable helmets I have ever tested and the fit is fantastic. The system can also be adjusted for head size before use to further alter the level of retention if so needed. There are a couple more vents on the top rear of the helmet.

Its motorcycle experience means that it has the expertise and facilities to design an efficient cycling helmet and there’s an extensive analysis of the Furion’s aerodynamics on HJC’s website. Sizes: S (51-56cm), M (55-59cm), L (58-63cm) I never felt this way about my cycle helmet and it’s almost standardised dial system for fitting it to your head until, that is, I tested the HJC Ibex 2.0. The fit of my medium helmet was spot on and despite having a head size at the lower end of the recommended span (56cm) it didn’t make the overall size too large and cumbersome. Automation can be a good thing. That’s achieved in part by reducing the padding relative to the HJC Ibex vented helmet. There are two further slot vents towards the rear at the sides of the helmet shell, for a total of 15 vents. Weight: 223g (medium) What also makes this comfort even more unexpected is HJC provide the bare minimum of internal padding, just a section across the brow.

These side vents don’t seem to direct much air onto the head, but seem to have been designed more to smooth the airflow over the rear of the HJC Furion. Both helmets are available in team replica colours, with the HJC Furion available in a total of 10 colour combos. There’s no MIPS option available in HJC’s helmets, if that’s something you’re looking for.

At £150, the HJC Furion is reasonably priced for an aero road helmet used by a WorldTour team, many of which head up well over £200. The Ibex 2.0 is a great looking top-flite road helmet that puts comfort, airflow and weight at the top of its priorities. The only aspect of the Ibex 2.0 that I feel lets it down slightly is the lack of any additional safety measures such as MIPS that have been proven to increase your protection in the event of a crash.
