I just picked up the RPHA-12 yesterday and I can confirm of all the helmets I've tried on recently in search of my second helmet, this one fit my head the best and accommodates my glasses really well.. I really wanted to like the Shoei RF-1400 but the medium was too small and the large is too large.
Why do the visorclosure on the side! I hate it on the side. Just do it in the middle ao i can use either hand. Or on the right! I only open it at the stoplights and there im holding my clutch!
FIM certification is only important for FIM sanctioned events and almost all club level events do not require FIM approval. The UK for example has ACU Gold not FIM approval. It was created for World Championship events not nation level events.
Might?? thats because it doesn't look as cool as the 11. Even the shield looks plain now. It's a big disappointment...in my humble opinion....the hjc rpha 11 carbon bleer in grey is a perfect looking 10. This new one looks like the ugliest of the sisters. 😂
Can you use this helmet with glssses ? I use modular helmets because they are more comfortable to wear prescription lenses underneath. I'm thinking about switching to this helmet but I'm worried my glasses won't fit.
My RPHA 12 carbon would be in the bin if it hadn't cost £500. Noise level is diabolical at 70 mph, drowning out ALL bike noise even with noisy road cans. I tried blanking off the vents, extra sound proofing near my ears but still rubbish. No difference whether bike is naked or faired. Visiblity and comfort are good but would not consider in future.
Not sure if the visor should be a 5 star. I actually went to see this helmet and I was really dissapointed about the fact that they did not make any change on the visor hinge system that failed like crazy on the previous generations of hjc rpha helmets, failures that are well documented over the internet. Unfortunately, compared to the old ones, this system seems even weaker and it is the reason why I will not be buying an hjc again. For their price point, to have this system in place seems like a big miss given that I am using plastic gaskes to keep my visor in place in my rpha 90s after 2.5 years and around 7k km of usage.
Well... When I went and played with it live and I realized the system is the same or worse... I can confirm only from experience. Now... I did not say do not buy it or do not take it. You do you. I said that from a historical stand point, until the problems that have been reported across the world have been fixed and confirmed fixed, it should not have 5 stars on the visor. Now that is my point of view 😊
@@SVL1805 I have no race in the horse. But you can't confirm that they made 0 improvements or alterations. You could be correct that it's the same or worse but to say it as fact when you don't really know seems unfair. That's my point of view 🤷
I think the noise levels would be quite similar, with maybe a slight edge towards the RPHA-71. However, features wise, I'd go for the RPHA-71 on a Maxi scooter.
Do a review on the rpha 12 carbon version
Great review again! You guys are putting data together which makes the choice easier!
Your reviews keep getting better. Best helmet channel on youtube.❤
Appreciate it!
Glasses Friendly! That was what I looking for!

Helmet looks hella sick, might be a must buy

Awesome video!!

I just bought a Rpha 11 lmao. I had no idea they were making a 12
the difference is minimal anyway :-)
there was no information whether the field of view is better than in rpha 11 and information about other helmets what field of vision they have
Thank you.
Do the cheekpads fit race tight, squeezing your face... should i size up one size?
Great video!
Will be an interesting choice for the new season, for me it will be the GT-Air 3 or the RPHA 12 🤔
Keep an eye out for our GT Air 3 review, coming out very soon!
GT-Air 3 is really heavy I believe, they quote 1700g, same as the modular neotec which is crazy

how can you confirm that the materials are have not been improved? just because it looks the same doesnt mean it is exactly the same

@@SVL1805 of course not. Hence I'm not out here telling people they did
I'm stuck between RPHA 12 and RPHA 71. Which do you think is the least noisy helmet for a maxi scooter?
I think the noise levels would be quite similar, with maybe a slight edge towards the RPHA-71. However, features wise, I'd go for the RPHA-71 on a Maxi scooter.
5:59 - 6:25 you can see the visor fully fog up until it is opened... right at the time you are saying the visor is good, LoL
Well you could also see that right then, there was no pinlock mounted. So of course it will fog up. Yes it's a very good visor.
when rpha12 vs rpha12 carbon 😅
When will the RPHA 12 be available for purchase?
My new RPHA 12 has already been ordered and will be delivered at the beginning of December !😎
@mannik.2160 does it fit tight...should I size up one?
