bro, i'm not sure if Z1R is underlicesed by HJC...ang alam ko, magka-ibang companies yan....and if ever, sister company yan they'll be using their own brandnames when selling the product...

HJC had been around for quite some time...and had established its reputation...Z1R is known in the US to be a manufacturer of MC apparels including helmets...

check it out with the store...if you paid for the price of HJC, then it's HJC you should get....this will even stand if you file a case sa DTI...

on sale poh kasi ang helmet na toh,20% poh..so i think its a good buy..tinanong ko kung orig. na HJC yun sabi oo daw..well known nmn ang JT triumph na distributor ng HJC helmets..(tama po ba??)..ayun,ung medium size lang ang nka sale,kung bibili daw ako ng ibang size,balik 2k daw ang price nya..tinanong ko kung bkit ung M lang ang nka sale,sabi skin nung inorder daw kasi nila yan,nka discount na..kaya hindi nlang daw nila bnago yung discounted price..na-check ko na din poh ung website ng DOT,may test result xa dun..and manufacturer is HJC(Hong Jin(Beijing)Sports Goods Co.) pero ang brand name is Z1R..stated dun sa 2005 result,pass xa sa lahat ng test including Impact;Labeling..pero sa penetration nag failed xa sa second blow..sa tingin nyo po ba HJC xa tlaga??pang back ride ko po kasi itong helmet na ito eh..if ever maaccident(wag nmn sana)..kaya,kaya nito iprotect ung head ng nagsusuot??

your backride's helmet should be as good as yours....better check with Thriump..so they could give you a good explanation regarding this two conflicting brands in one helmet....

i've already checked a lot of websites in the i.net that sells Z1R helmets,just like mine..and yung description nila lahat is DOT approve..even on the official website of Z1R DOT approve din..ang mga Full Face helmets ng Z1R lahat po DOT/Snell approve..sa tingin ko poh,ung mga materials nila is from HJC pero ung ngawa ng helmet is Z1R..tama po bah??confused lang nmn poh kasi ako bkit HJC ung sticker nya..kung Z1r xa..dpat ganun nlang din ung sticker..eniwei,what do you think sir??may no. po ba kayo ng JT triumph??ill try to call them nlang and ask bkit ngkaganun..

sir......i don't want to cause you much alarm....but this is what i've found on the net..............HJC America Inc. has manufactured the Z1R Metro helmets....same looks and design as the HJC CL-22..........look at the picture that i've attached......the first one is a Z1R metro while the 2nd is an HJC CL-22.........yet on these links, they say the said helmets are due for recall......http://motorcycles.about.com/b/a/257602.htm

good thing that you were able to return it...you're a lot better with the Zeus 803...

one of our members who recently had an accident while wearing his 803, donated the helmet to our group, i had it cut in half...this is what we've found out:
1. The ABS shell is fairly thick and sturdy.
2. Dual slotted EPS for better ventilation.
3. Thick EPS liner.
4. Very good comfort liner.

and from the look on the EPS...it really did absorb the force of impact...and the faceshield had very deep scratches all over but did not break that could have caused cuts in the rider's face.

it lacks EPS on the chin bar though...overall the 803 is better enough to be an entry-level helmet compared to other brands within their price bracket...
