Nice review. I just picked up the Carbon version last month. No issues with the shield. You may want to replace your shield and see if it woks better. Stay safe.
The problem you're having is because the visor is not lined up properly. Loosen the Philips screws and move mechanism forward to give the visor room to close. I'm not overly impressed with the weak detent on the shield ,falls closed in the slightest wind Ride safe cheers.
Hi. Thank you for the comment. The visor is not sitting right no matter how many times I have tried. This helmet is getting old now… soon I’ll be hunting for something different.
Malcolm, thanks for the great tip. Maybe you know what might be the problem with the visor that crack near the clip after I go 120-130 km/h on a motorway ? already changed 3 visors this season. Cheers
Thanks for the great review. I got one as my first helmet and I am really enjoying it. The closing latch on mine I have had no issues with, it is strong but not difficult to open and close, maybe it's something they tweaked more recently?
@@rideswithrichie Thanks for getting back to me, The LS2 just looks cooler to me but the build quality from the world’s foremost manufacturer of helmets HJC. I knew which I SHOULD end up on Which LS2 did you have, I’m curious
Hello mate, thanks for the review, I'm definitely getting one. Can I just ask where you found a matte white finish RPHA 70? I've looked but assumed they didn't do a matte finish white! Cheers then.
@@rideswithrichie That is a shame, thanks for confirming though, I love the matte white ones...oh well. I suppose I'll have to go for the Reple Carbon Orange, it's a bit loud-and quite expensive, but I love it! 😂 Thanks again.
Yes. It has started happening recently when I ride in the rain. I keep the visor a little open in the bottom… looks like the it’s the problem with the Pinlock insert.
Hi. Great review, thank you. I really like this helmet, but i heard there were some issues with the visor cracking on the lock mechanism. Have you encountered some issues with it? There is RPHA 71 available that should be free of this issue but unfortunately it is not available in carbon edition which i really love. Cheers!
Hi. Thank you for the comment. I have not had any problems with the helmet at all. It’s been great. The only problem is with the Pinlock. It does not seal properly and hence causes fogging of the wisor. Try the Rpha11 as well. It is a great helmet.
Hi. Thanks for the comment. I have been using this helmet everyday for commuting and touring since I bought it. It’s still working as it should. No problem at all

Thank you for appreciating. I need to order a new shield soon. It’s getting pretty scratched now

I have not had any issues with visor cracking so far… 🤞

I guess HJC has listened to their customers. Mine is still a pain pain after so many months of daily use.
So happy I watched this video I was also looking at an LS2, the Citation by chance?
And why did you switch?
I switched because this was a much better quality helmet, very well made and super quiet

Which LS2 did you have, I’m curious
@danboyd6180 I’m not sure what model it was. Can’t remember… sorry

Hi. I bought this a couple of years ago. I just looked up online… you are right… I’m not sure if they make them anymore.

You are welcome. Thank you for watching my videos
Did you encounter any problem regarding the fogging near your nose?
Yes. It has started happening recently when I ride in the rain. I keep the visor a little open in the bottom… looks like the it’s the problem with the Pinlock insert.
@@rideswithrichie I see. Mine is new. I will have to try to adjust the pinlock or clean it. Do you think that it matters if I leave the vent open?

You need to aligment pinlock with pins on visor find a video of in directly for your brand. I switched 3pinlocks before i find out on my other helmet
What did you pay for thw HJC ?
Found your previous one, 320€ it was.
Hi Jay. Yes. It was €320. And it’s worth every penny. I love this helmet. 😀
@@rideswithrichie Just picked it up for €237
@@FIared that’s a brilliant deal
Doesn't it creak? My new one with every head movement (sun visor inside the helmet). I have to return it.
Hi. Thanks for the comment. I have been using this helmet everyday for commuting and touring since I bought it. It’s still working as it should. No problem at all
@@rideswithrichie Thanks, I'll give it another shot because I like everything else about it.
I am very jealous of your moustache
Ha ha. Thank you. 🙏🏼
that's a great mustache
Ha ha ha… thank you.
