HJC Valeco helmet

The VALECO is a modern, aerodynamic and perfectly ventilated helmet, weighing approximately 30 grams more than its bigger brother, L'Ibex by HJC. The helmet's 12 ventilation holes will keep your head cool in every situation, from the spring classics to the hot climbs of the Alps during the summer season. The new Valeco combines various advanced technologies developed for the other models to offer the best possible experience in terms of safety, ventilation, comfort and design. the helmet is also equipped with more classic features such as: adjustable occipital cradle, glasses holder, shoulder strap separator and X-Static antibacterial padding. This helmet comes with a bag to protect the helmet when you take it with you.

Tested in the wind tunnel

HJC helmets are tested in the laboratory and in “real life” to meet the highest quality standards. HJC is one of the very few helmet companies equipped with its own wind tunnel for testing purposes Laerodynamics, ventilation, noise and more. The HJC wind tunnel laboratory measures air forces in various riding conditions to improve helmet performance.

Derodynamic design

Coming from MotoGP helmet design experience, HJC designers and engineers have become experts in aerodynamics and ventilation. Aero helmets, as the word suggests, are more aerodynamic than the traditional road bike helmet, but with compromised ventilation performance. With HJC helmets, this compromise is greatly reduced. HJC offers probably the best ventilated semi-aerated helmet on the market…. Save Watts with HJC helmets!

Venturi Dynamics

In order to achieve maximum ventilation, a technical adaptation of the Bernoulli principle is applied to the aerodynamically improved models of HJC. In motion, surface flow velocity generally increases as it proceeds toward the rear of the helmet. Through the pressure differences, LThe cold air from the front intake is extracted through the rear vent, dissipating internal heat and guaranteeing the cyclist optimal ventilation and perfect air flow while riding.

In-Mold construction

In-mold is a method that consists of welding LEPS together with the polycarbonate outer shell for greater structural resistance. This improves cyclist protection by providing a compact reinforcement and giving the product a perfect finish.

Reinforced internal structure

The helmets are reinforced with an EPS integrated internal structure, the frame not only keeps the helmet in one piece, but also makes it stronger and more resistant to protect the head in the event of a collision.

Advanced ventilation system

A certain amount of air passes through the front air intake duct, then circulates inside the helmet and finally exits through the exhaust duct. Internal airflow is then enhanced to cool the head and dissipate heat.

Ultra Light

HJC bicycle helmets are designed with precise measurements in order to obtain the lowest possible weight. Density, placement, shapes and materials play an important role in weight optimization.
