RIDE IN ANY LIGHT. NO SWAPS. NO DISTRACTIONS.

Meet ShadeX HJC’s advanced photochromatic shield built to adapt as fast as you ride.

From bright midday sun to shaded backroads, tunnels, and changing weather, ShadeX automatically adjusts its tint to maintain optimal visibility so you can stay focused on the road ahead, not your shield.

No more carrying extra shields. No more stopping to swap.

Just one shield for the entire ride.

How It Works
ShadeX reacts to UV light, darkening quickly in bright conditions and returning to a clearer state when light fades giving you the right level of visibility at all times.
