HJC, a global leader in helmet innovation, proudly announces the launch of the all-new Y10, a true youth-specific helmet engineered exclusively for young riders. Unlike scaled-down adult XXS or XS models, the Y10 features a purpose-built youth shell that is significantly smaller and proportioned specifically to accommodate children’s unique physical characteristics.

Designed from the ground up for developing riders, the Y10 utilizes a lightweight polycarbonate shell that helps reduce strain on growing neck muscles while maintaining HJC’s renowned standards of protection. The helmet is constructed with a single youth-specific shell and EPS liner configuration, optimized to deliver consistent impact performance across its dedicated size range:

For enhanced ventilation and riding comfort, the Y10 features a strategically engineered airflow system with three intake vents and one rear exhaust vent, helping channel air efficiently through the helmet to reduce heat buildup during rides.

The helmet’s shield provides 99% UV protection along with a scratch-resistant coating, safeguarding young riders’ vision while maintaining a clear field of view in varying conditions.

Inside, comfort and hygiene are prioritized for both children and parents. The Y10’s interior is fully removable and washable for easy maintenance and long-term freshness. The liner materials meet the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, ensuring textiles are tested for harmful substances and safe for skin contact, offering added confidence for families. For enhanced safety, the helmet is also equipped with emergency quick-release cheek pads.

By combining certified protection, thoughtful safety features, youth-specific ergonomics, and parent-focused practicality, the Y10 establishes a new benchmark in true youth helmet design. HJC remains committed not only to manufacturing high-performance helmets, but to supporting young riders at every stage of their journey.

With the Y10, HJC stands alongside every milestone helping protect the next generation of riders with dependable performance, comfort, and care.
