Nice review, thank you. I will caution people looking to purchase this helmet; it fits VERY snug. I have owned a helmet (or helmets) from every major manufacturer. Always have worn a large. I have an RPHA 11 pro (large), fits great. I purchased this exact helmet in large, and after about 30 mins of wear it becomes uncomfortable to wear. After 40-45 minutes it becomes excruciating. So, that being said, if you buy one, wear it for about an hour while watching TV or something. Don’t get stuck with an $1k helmet you can’t return (like me).
HJC is my 1st helmet ever, it was IS 13 or IS 14 model, it fits my head shape well, same as ARAI but the difference is that the chin room is very tight to a degree the I can't move my jaw. Of course the IS series is a special case in comparison to the RPHA 11 because the IS had internal sun visor so the chin room is larger.
Good morning Martijn. Of course! we have a great loyalty program called Champion Cash. You can save up Champion Cash and use this cash on your next purchases.
Looking to purchase this from your website today. If paying for the express shipping will it make it in the 2-4 day timeline offered if it is shipped to the US? Thanks.
The RPHA 1 is a brand new helmet that is not yet available anywhere. But you can already pre-order it on our website www.championhelmets.com and receive the helmet when they become available.
Thank you Tarik! You can usually find a sticker with the certification on the back of the helmet, or, if not, it is also often listed on the chin strap.
Hi Leo, HJC Made the helmet FIM certified which means it is suitable for riding on the track, but that doesn’t mean its only suited for riding on the race track! You can wear the helmet while riding on the road as well.
Thank you! When you create an account on our website you will get Champion Cash. You can use Champion Cash on your first purchase to get a nice discount!
Good video because its very informative, yet some of the things are off. - You sure about RPHA1 replacing RPHA 11? There was no announcements that the 11 is going to be discontinued and they introduced paint schemes for 2022 for this model. Its not even the same price range. RPHA1 is a higher model than the 11. The RPHA11 has always been a rival to Shoei NXR, not the XSpirit. - The opening of the visor is NOT AS USUAL in the middle but on the left side. Its a pitty you don't measure the useful field of view of the helmets/visors. I would never rank RPHA11 high just for the fact that the visibility in this helmet is poor comparing it to the NXR. A very important aspect yet overlooked by literally all helmet reviewers. If its a race helmet, people will shoot for the lightest weight, best ventilation and greates FOV.
bad helmet just bought the helmet but the wind noise is driving me crazy this comes from the slide of the sun visor Never buy 1 because I even get through my earplugs
Excellent thorough review, I bought this helmet after watching your video. Great graphics too!

Hi Kay, thank you! For now, there isn't. Just the fiberglass composite version.

Hi Matthew. If you pay for express shipping, it will be delivered within 2 to 7 days of shipment.
Does HJC states that this is the replacement for the RPHA 11? Will the RPHA 11 be discontinued in the near future?
Good review as usual guys. I wear glasses with a slightly bigger frame than usual. Could this be an issue on this helmet?
Thank you! This shouldn't be an issue, the RPHA 1 is glasses friendly.
Also want to know if in stock in size Medium. Need shipped to Las Vegas ASAP

Nice video! Where can I check if my helmet is FIM Certified?
Thank you Tarik! You can usually find a sticker with the certification on the back of the helmet, or, if not, it is also often listed on the chin strap.
Well done once again!!! Does your helmet has to be FIM certified to ride on a race track?
Hi Balázs, Thank you! Yes, your helmet must be FIM certified if you want to ride on a race track.
Great review! Is this Helmet only suited for riding on a race track?
Hi Leo, HJC Made the helmet FIM certified which means it is suitable for riding on the track, but that doesn’t mean its only suited for riding on the race track! You can wear the helmet while riding on the road as well.

My ls2 thunder carbon aero gp pro with fim had 1350g where is he?
That variant of the LS2 Thunder Carbon released much later than the RPHA-1, which is why its not in the graphs.
What a great review! How long does shipping to the US take if I order from your website?
Thank you Romy! Delivery will be within 12-15 days maximum for countries outside Europe.

Do you know where this is being made? I know HJC has factories in Korea and Vietnam but curious which one this was made in.
made in South Korea. They make their entry level helmets in vietnam.
hows the fit compared to hjc rpha 70/rpha 11? more power to your channel
They have the same fit and size chart.
On RPHA1 you do not need to up size because it's relatively true fit, compared to RPHA 70/11 you need to up size
im wearing glasses, is that a problem for this helmet?
bad helmet just bought the helmet but the wind noise is driving me crazy this comes from the slide of the sun visor
Never buy 1 because I even get through my earplugs
I don't think you have this helmet, its not available yet for purchase. There are only preorders available.
where's sebastion ?
Does this helmet come with an extra dark smoke visor. If it doesn’t come with an extra visor what does it cost?
Hi Floris, the RPHA 1 does not come with an extra smoke visor. You can visit our web shop www.championhelmets.com to see what price it comes in.
Is this Red Bull version in stock now?
