MOTORRAD conclusion on the HJC IS-17

In the 2013 mid-range helmet test, it was submitted for the HJC IS-17 “very good”, second place and for the “Buying tip”. The IS-17 is now a helmet oldie and no worse than it was back then (apart from the shock absorption values), but the other candidates have followed suit and have partly overtaken the HJC IS-17.

MOTORRAD verdict: good
