The HJC Adwatt is an all-out speed lid that doesn’t compromise on comfort or safety.
Developed at HJC’s bespoke wind tunnel facility in conjunction with UCI Hour Record holder, Victor Campenaerts, the HJC Adwatt Aero Helmet is entirely streamlined with and without a shield.
HJC’s relatively recent entry into the world of elite performance bicycle helmets belies its rich and prestigious history building pioneering motorcycle helmets since 1971. The fact that the Adwatt has already been worn to break the UCI Hour Record speaks of the visionary approach and dedicated design employed in its construction.
RECORD-BREAKING
In April 2019 Victor Campenaerts broke the UCI Hour Record covering 55.089 kilometres at the Aguascalientes indoor velodrome in Mexico.
Designing and manufacturing a helmet that would help deliver a world-record breaking attempt was a challenge that HJC wholly embraced. HJC worked very closely with Campenaerts at their bespoke wind tunnel facility to distil exactly what constitutes an all-out speed helmet.
The result is a helmet that not only works with and without a shield but is phenomenally ventilated and crucially, fast.
AIRFLOW ADVANTAGES
What makes the Adwatt truly unique is its synthesis of both aerodynamic streamlining and fantastic ventilation.
Drawing on Venturi fluid dynamic principles, HJC's research and development have created a helmet that actively draws air over your head, keeping it cool, all without forgoing any streamlining properties so you can rest assured you're always performing at your peak.
Every detail that lends the Adwatt its sleek aesthetic is the direct consequence of a singular drive for performance, and this pays dividends on every ride in faster times.
INTELLIGENT FITTING
During research and development for the Adwatt, HJC completed comprehensive 3D analysis of a diverse sample of rider head shapes that influenced the final design of the helmet cradle. What this means for you is that the Adwatt is super simple to adjust for a comfortable fit – giving you the freedom to focus on the race at hand.
HJC sizing is also remarkably straightforward – find your brow circumference and set the adjusters in seconds.
Every Adwatt comes with two shields, one mirrored and one clear, meaning that whether you can retain crystal clear focus whatever the conditions.
