HJC - BEN SPIES

After celebrating its 50th anniversary in October 2021, HJC looks back on its entry into the world of MotoGP 20 years ago alongside Ben Spies. A great adventure that allowed the brand to make a leap forward in the development of helmets.
These precious years of collaboration with the best riders have greatly contributed to forging HJC's identity to offer high performance, aerodynamic and safe products thanks to the precious feedback of the riders.
Thank you Ben Spies and all the HJC Team for your incredible work!

I absolutely love my HJC “Elbowz” helmet. Ben was & is my favorite all time motorcycle racer. Thank you for the memories of on track battles and some epic performances.

From I first sen ben spies in AMA. And den in WSBK. I knew he was special. My oldest son is named Ben because of that 09 WSBK champion.

Thank you Ben Spies for all the moments to us fans, I have your replica and will get also the same colors on the new rpha 1. Thank you also HJC for bringing such awesome helmets and also Drudi who made those colors.

Hi Andre, thanks for your feedback, we're glad to read that you enjoy this helmet as much as we do. Ride safe!

That Star helmet was always been iconic. I started riding around the time Ben started in MotoGP, I really wanted that helmet. That pop of star. Thanks for the memories

HJC was the first premium helmet I bought, back in 2013, I choose Ben Spies replica he wore on Pramac Ducati. I choose HJC because I wanted to have the same helmet with my idol. Great helmet, and watching this brings back memories.

Beautiful video! HJC has always been iconic as Ben's, since he was literally the only one wearing it back then. Other riders were just wearing mainstream brand like AGV, Suomy, Airoh, X-Lite, Nolan, Shoei and Arai. But HJC? It was only after Jorge started wearing it too in 2013 that we got to see riders other than Ben wearing the brand. Thanks for the entertainment you'd provided throughout your short yet magnificent stint at the world stage, Ben, it all happened thanks to HJC as well. 🤝🏼

Man this makes me feel old! Lol I started watching motogp in 2003 and I truly believe those were best times for racing! Thanks Ben for being a great champion and living the tail end of the glory days!

Man watching this brings back so many memories. I'm 50 and I have been watching motorcycle racing as far back as I can remember. I wish I could go back to those days.

I finally was able to get my Spies RPHA11 and now if they release the RPHA1 in the same red white and blue rep I will do whatever I need to to get that one. I wish Ben was still riding in MotoGP. Favorite helmets by far.

I wish I could have looked through a corner with spies at cresson.. but I got as far as working close to the last corner, if not the last corner. Ben was there that day, so it was probably 2003.. they let me drive my car to my place on the track, and I was so worried to follow the racing line in case my car left anything like oil on there, so I passed one of my passions on the outside line.. I should have just tore through some of those double apexes leading towards the straight.. but nope! Inside line there and shit exit speed cause I care
