Whats the difference between this and the rpha1n?

[@justaguy9190]

Hi Tony, Would you say there is any fit difference between it and the RPHA 11? I personally like helmets where the cheek pads cover a large area, with a narrow gap between, as I have a very narrow jaw (otherwise ordinary size M). I notice that /visually/ there seems to be more space between them on the 1 than the 11, which is a tad disappointing from my respective, though a lot of other people will see it as a plus.

[@sportsbikeshop]

There's definitely a fit difference around the top of the head (I suffered undue pressure at the sides of my forehead on the RPHA-1, which I didn't experience at all on the RPHA-11). I've just checked again and I think the fit between the cheekpads is very close on both. Race helmets are good for this as a tight fit here stops the chinbar pushing back into the rider's face at speed. Thanks for getting in touch and I hope this helps. Cheers, Tony

@@sportsbikeshop Thanks Tony, Funny you should say that. There are well-regarded brands (Arai and AGV being two) in whose racing helmets I can get my mouth to touch the chin bar, because their cheek pads have less coverage. Wouldn't want to wear them in a crash, I'd have no teeth left. Problem is IMO fit seems to be moving a bit that way in general.

did you find your helmet to your liking so far?

[@markrichardson7815]

Best review I've seen yet,,, cheers

[@512460]

Which would you choose for road use. This or scorpion exo 14000 air carbon

[@sportsbikeshop]

For road use I would choose the Scorpion as the HJC is designed with track riding and racing in mind. Cheers, Tony

this or shark race r pro gp. i wanna get a gp helmet, but the new shark aeron gp doesnt have speaker pockets, which is a no for me. beside the ece2205 on the shark race r pro gp. would u go for a shark or this hjc if fit isnt a issue?

[@sportsbikeshop]

If fit wasn't an issue and I was going racing then I'd prefer the HJC for its FIM approval, which proves performance in higher speed impacts. For the road, I would be happier with the Race-R Pro as its foam comfort liner is more suited to longer rides. Hope that helps. Cheers, Tony

which one is better for tuono v4? x spirit 3 or rpha 1 ? noise and tight fit is important for me.

[@sportsbikeshop]

It's always going to depend on how well a helmet fits you, but if someone gave me a Tuono V4 for the weekend, and a choice of an XSIII or RPHA-1 then I'd choose the Shoei. Not just because it suits my head shape better (which it does), but because there's more padding at the forehead and that's important on a rapid naked bike like that. Cheers, Tony

[@cemotovlog]

is it good for yamaha r6 2017?

[@sportsbikeshop]

I'm sure it would be as good on an R6 as any other sports bike. Cheers, Tony

[@BaconBitties]

What head shape do you have?

[@sportsbikeshop]

It's roughly the same in width and length, so I think that counts as round (even though it looks more like a square from above). Cheers, Tony

[@peytonhibdon7659]

Really surprised this lid doesn't fit you but the RPHA 11 is a good fit. I have both and get similar fits except for the much tighter on off of the RPHA 1N.

[@BaconBitties]

thats the thing lol none of the shops near me carry it but I did try the rpha 11 on and it was one of the only helmets that didn't give me bad pressure. I ended up goin with a arai quantum x but wanted something a lil more sleek so I been eyeing this one for awhile. Reviews as far as fit seem conflicting but thanks I might pull the trigger on a sale @@peytonhibdon7659
