- HJC IS-Max BT Helmet Review
www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/hj...
The HJC IS-MAX BT helmet is a modular helmet that is prepared for bluetooth. And it's under 150 bucks! The list of features for this affordable modular helmet is long, including the internal sun visor, a SilverCool removable / washable interior lining and ready for use with the Chatterbox XBi2-H communication system. Other notable features are the effective multi-stage intake vents, the Quickslide Shield Replacement System and a light polycarbonate shell. Offered in 6 colors and in sizes XS-3XL.
This guy's reviews are really good. Discusses a product's weaknesses openly yet focuses on the value behind the offering. Good job RevZilla.
We don't carry any helmets that come with pre-installed bluetooth, however, there are many helmets that take integrated solutions. The Shark Evoline Helmet with the Sharktooth Bluetooth, the Schuberth C3 with the SRC System, or the Nolan N104 with the Nolan B4 system. Additionally, you could go with a modular like the Shoei Neotec and purchase a Sena SMH-10 to go with it. Aftermarket bluetooth units are better quality in my opinion and are quite easy to install. -CK
This helmet does not come with a Bluetooth unit. Rather, it is pre-configured to accept the Chatterbox XBi2-H bluetooth system. -CK
I currwntly have it. And i love it. Only down fall like he said is the moisture really doesnt have an escape route.
Double check and make sure all of the liner snaps are firmly attached to the shell. - TL
@iirvin11lz1 We'll add it to the list!
I bought this through a local retailer because I wasn't sure of the fit. I'm enjoying it so far though, the built-in sun visor allows me to wear my glasses and of course I can open it up during back street riding for a more enjoyable ride. It's pretty bulky in size but the weight is decent enough. There's no chin padding so I dunno how well this would protect your chin, the store suggested I don't use it on the freeway. I'll probably get the pinlock lens for it once the weather gets colder and damper. I'm using this for city riding in Seattle and I recommend it. Apologies, Revzilla, I would have bought it from you guys but I wanted to be certain of the fit and needed it ASAP, plus I bought my bike from the same store so I got a big discount. I've already ordered other things from you tho.
Hi everyone! I bought this whole setup about 3 years ago and for the most part I really like it. I love the way you can use everything weather Im in my sport gauntlets or my heated Gerbings without having to remove gloves! The sun visor is awesome to have and I love to open the front so I can talk to people. The venting is an issue but I just jumed on Revzilla.com and bought the Pinlock anti-fog and the shield no long fogs! I also love having my iphone bluetoothed to my helmet so I can listen to music, talk on the phone, or listen to gps commands hands free. THE ISSUE I HAVE is the bike to bike communcation. Its pretty bad. Lots off static/background noise. I got my dad and riding buddies to all buy these set ups so we could all talk on rides and the feedback is so annoying we dont even use them to talk anymore. Everything else is great! If anyone has any ideas on how I can fix this issue please let me know? And thank-you so very much Revzilla.com for all you reviews! I check them before I buy anything. HAVE A GREAT RIDE EVERYONE!!
How long does the battery last on the chatterbox?
Unfortunately, HJC doesn't regulate their prices like many other helmet companies and in order for us to compete with 'The Competition', we have to play the same game. We're hoping HJC will change their policies soon and we can display their prices opening like we do with all our other products. ~Ali
@Amoriita1 Thanks!
I have used this helmet for 2 months now and I like it alot the only thing I think they could improve is the airflow through the helmet as said in the video
Hey Anthony, Great Videos, Can you recommend a slightly better Helmet,Modular maybe with Bluetooth already installed, Cruiser rider here without windscreen so would like it to be more on the quiet side. Thanks jason
just bought this.. havent even ridden with it yet . every time i take it off the entire liner comes out stuck to my head like a skull cap....any suggestions?
I own this helmet. They do make a chin curtain. Found mine on Amazon.
I bought this in white I love it. Only complaint is I can hear I little wistle sometimes
Can Yu make a review for the Joe rocket space pak 2.0? Please.
hey revzilla
do they make a chin curtain for this?
great review!
I don't believe they do. Sorry for the disappointment! -CK
how is the bluetooth in this helmet ?
How does the mic install on these modulars? I have a full face now and the mic wire runs inside the lining. Is there a special mic for these moduars?
Boom microphones are typically the best option for modular helmets. -Hi-Viz Brian
I bought this helmet about 1,5 years ago, in matte black, though it does seem a bit diffrent than this one. Mine for instance did not come with a pinlock ready visor, and it came with a diffrent chin strap (like you would find on inline skates).
Although the price, model and fitment is fine, i would not really recommend this helmet for two simple reasons... it's a very, very noisy helmet, even with earplugs in i hear alot more wind noise than i would like. Also the visor doesn't have a proper sealing, it's almost as if it's slightly too big for the helmet.
Instead of an expensive chatterbox, i mounted a Hola-F bluetooth kit, and that works fine, just mounted it to the side of the helmet using 3M tape.
So conclusion, it's an okay helmet for the price, but not a helmet i wuld recommend my friends.
Someone gifted me this helmet as i'm a new rider and I can confirm. It's VERY noisy. The wind noise on rides is terrible
Is there a full face helmet that has intergrated Bluetooth system that you would wholeheartedly recommend?
ZX9RDan No. I really recommend getting a good helmet and a good Bluetooth communicator. Most helmets these days can accommodate Bluetooth communicators, but there aren't many that come with the helmet. I will say that there are some communicators that are being designed for specific helmets. For example, I highly recommend the forthcoming Sena 10U Bluetooth Communicator, as they make specific versions for Arai, Shoei, and Schuberth helmets, three of the best helmet brands on the market. If you're considering the HJC IS-Max BT helmet, I recommend getting the Sena SMH10R to use with it. -DrewZilla

ZX9RDan Hey, we loved your question and thought it would be great to share with others, so we made a video. See what we have to say! ua-cam.com/video/rcPn6ovW-n4/v-deo.html -DrewZilla
Nice! I watched that and I will be following your advice. Thanks!
I give it a 6 out of 10 due to the lack of so much and the design. but again thats my opinion lol good video guys. Oh 1st commenter lol
Anyone use these internal visors with glasses?
I tried mine on with raybans on just see, plenty of room with the sun visor down
1:54 where do you buy that?
Unfortunately, that Chatterbox unit is no longer available from us. You might be able to find one elsewhere online. -DrewZilla
Dont waste your time going to this web page. They will not sow you the prices for this helmet. To get the price you must enter your e-mail address and wait for the "secret" price. Google it and you will find lots of web pages with prices.
Just got one used lol
