HJC’s Revolutionary Performance Helmet Advantage (RPHA) series is their flagship line, meeting the demands of sport riders, racers, and tourers. Their own determination, plus years of feedback from riders, have assisted HJC with the development of the RPHA blueprint. Doing what they do best, HJC continues to advance their helmet progeny, keeping them a front runner in the industry for both quality and innovative design. In like fashion, the once RPHA 70 has gotten its upgrade. Welcome, the new RPHA 71, the premium-class sport-tourer, and heavy emphasis on the ‘sport’.
Sport-driven and engineered for performance, the new RPHA 71 brings another level to sport-touring. It’s crafted to perfection with the highest performing equipment and innovative design on the market. Much like the RPHA 1N and 11 Pro race hats, the design uses similar ergos, construction, and high-quality materials but with some new proprietary upgrades. Introducing a new shell shape and material, HJC’s original PIM+ technology advances, now donning the Premium Integrated Matrix EVO (PIM EVO). This EVO shell is an intricate weave of carbon fiber, glass, organic fiber, and natural fiber for optimal strength, flexibility, and weight savings, much needed for all-day comfort. Through the rigors of HJC’s wind-tunnel lab, It’s been chiseled for optimized airflow with the newly designed shell and ventilation system while staying compact and aerodynamic. The RPHA 71’s aerodynamics were designed specifically to deliver a quieter ride, too, from the shell to the distortion-free, double-locking shield and everything underneath.
The second generation RPHA 71 sees an all-new interior, RPHA Perfect Fit Interior. It’s an advanced ultra moisture-wicking material with 3D shaped padding that contours the shape of your head. The neck roll shape allows better comfort and aerodynamics which deliver a quieter experience, no matter the speed. They are washable, removable, and eyeglass-friendly, adding to the customizability. The RPHA 71 also integrates a new sunshield mechanism which has 3 depth settings depending on your preferences. When HJC calls for sport-performance, they mean it. With this second generation RPHA, sport-touring never looked so good.

Thanks a lot for a detailed review!
Feels like had just visited a store and checked it by myself!
Just wonder how come such a cool and useful review got such a few likes?

[@jensonhesemans5197]

How much better would this helmet as a sport touring helmet (2015 Versys 650 with touring windshield) be compared to e.g. the HJC C70N or F71? Is it worth the difference in price, mainly concerning comfort and noice, or would the C71 or F71 be similar for less money?

[@SpeedAddictsTV]

I think the upgrade to the RPHA 71 for your sport touring needs would be your best bet.

[@paulcummings1566]

Just bought one but had to go up one size. Seems noisier than my 70 model plus visor detents seem week.

[@Spriterom]

Agree, I had my RPHA 70 and it's super quiet. RPHA71 is way louder and has weird whirling noise next to the ears. It's also not as tight fitting as the 70

[@hmtruong83]

Agreed. I've been using it for 2 months and wind noise is ridiculously louder than my older AGV K3 SV Helmet. I wear ear plugs no matter what but I still can hear it more prominently than my older helmet.

[@SpeedAddictsTV]

Appreciate the feedback.

Which Helmet Brand Have Super Special Liner? Ultra Feel?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@SpeedAddictsTV]

Arai has a very comfortable liner.

[@deanmccall5023]

I really wish all these helmet companies would stop incorporating SENA comm systems. SENA sucks.

[@SpeedAddictsTV]

The latest LS2 helmets incorporate with Cardo.
