HJC R-PHA 70

[A993LAD]

Just got one of these for Xmas - seems nice. Not a very catchy name though!

Any reviews?

Was going to get another Shoei GTAir but the Mk 2 has been ruined for me by the addition of integral slots/covers for a wifi comms unit. I'd happily buy it with the comms unit but I can only operate the buttons if they are on the right hand side (due to old left hand injury). Sadly the Shoei helmet can only incorporate the controller on the left (understandably).

yes had one for about 3 years great helmet , comfy, well vented not too noisy and pin-lock works well oh and I find the internal sun visor to be great too. The upgraded speakers for inter phone are cool too.
Going to order the carbon one in the new year.

Nice lid, been tempted by one myself recently - prob make a buy spring time!

I’ve been using one for a while now. Very pleased with it. Really nice snug fit, feels plush and good quality. I have always gone Shoei before, and was a bit unsure about changing brands. But it really did feel nice in the shop and I’m very pleased with the HJC

Went for one of these recently, but have only ridden about 10 miles to put the bike in a mate's garage for winter - and the OH was following in the car, so no overtaking and only got to about 60.
Feels lovely and posh inside, a bit, but not much quieter than my Givi modular though, wasn't expecting night and day, but was hoping for some improvement.
Going back to a D ring is fiddly after the Givi ratchet.
The visor has a lock thingy which is a bit fiddly but sure you;ll get used to it.
I paid about 1/2 price for mine as there was a paint flaw.

Oh and it matched the colour of my bike, which is nice.

I have one of these too. Very comfortable, good viability, great integrated tinted visor and not too noisy. The only down side as with all HJC is the clip on the front of the visor. Very good for keeping a good seal between the visor and seal, but doesn't last that long. I've just had to replace mine after I noticed cracks appearing around the clip. Had the same problem with my last HJC. I only use my bikes for fun, if this was a commuter helmet I doubt you would get 6 months before the visor started clacking. Still this is my 2nd HJC so it can't be that bad.

I've got the RPHA 11 Carbon, lovely lid. Has cutouts for intercom speakers etc which is handy, the only I have noticed is it steams up quite badly with the visor fully closed.

After years of Arai, I tried a RPHA.. using it daily I found that after a few months the padding went quite soft and the helmet became quite loose.

Loved how light these are and much quieter than Arai
