Excellent thorough review, I bought this helmet after watching your video. Great graphics too!

[@Championhelmets]

Thank you, we appreciate your comment.

[@undecodable6145]

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.

[@Quest4Apex266]

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).

I'm looking forward to seeing good reviews! Can we expect a review of the hjc i100 as well?

[@Championhelmets]

Thank you for your feedback. I will pass it on to our Test Rider!

[@yahel092100]

Does HJC states that this is the replacement for the RPHA 11? Will the RPHA 11 be discontinued in the near future?

[@jeweetzelftoch]

Good review as usual guys. I wear glasses with a slightly bigger frame than usual. Could this be an issue on this helmet?

[@Championhelmets]

Thank you! This shouldn't be an issue, the RPHA 1 is glasses friendly.

[@Kaysko_B]

Is there also a carbon version available of the RPHA 1? Good video, keep up the good work!! 🙏🏽

[@Championhelmets]

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

[@martijnbrand7846]

Great Review! Do you also do something for regular customers?

[@Championhelmets]

[@Championhelmets]

[@KennyOOOO]

Well done once again!!! Does your helmet has to be FIM certified to ride on a race track?

[@Championhelmets]

Hi Balázs, Thank you! Yes, your helmet must be FIM certified if you want to ride on a race track.

[@emirrustemovic9061]

Great review! What does a separate pinlock cost?

[@Championhelmets]

Thank you Emir! You can take a look at www.championhelmets.com to see which pinlock is suitable for your helmet and what price it comes in.

[@or0678]

Cool testing. I want to buy also a communication system. Do you have any discount for new customers?

[@Championhelmets]

[@achr6522]

Great review! Is this Helmet only suited for riding on a race track?

[@Championhelmets]

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.

[@tarikayaou7089]

Nice video! Where can I check if my helmet is FIM Certified?

[@Championhelmets]

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.

[@SpeckNV]

Also want to know if in stock in size Medium. Need shipped to Las Vegas ASAP

[@Championhelmets]

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.

[@manikandaprabu2089]

Since KYT into motogp, review KYT.

[@freefalling5158]

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.

[@nederlandschampionhelmets8446]

made in South Korea. They make their entry level helmets in vietnam.

[@smartbikers4550]

Good Review.....But Please Test Race helmet with race bike...not touring bike.....

[@florisvandenbrink8758]

Does this helmet come with an extra dark smoke visor. If it doesn’t come with an extra visor what does it cost?

[@Championhelmets]

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.

[@bikesandfamily3082]

hows the fit compared to hjc rpha 70/rpha 11? more power to your channel

[@Championhelmets]

They have the same fit and size chart.

[@jeeewhyyypheee]

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

[@ArtemisRat]

Is this Red Bull version in stock now?

[@Championhelmets]

The RPHA 1 is a brand new helmet that is not yet available anywhere. But you can already pre-order it on our website!

[@nazhif1]

where's sebastion ?

[@EVERTOMRR]

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.

[@-.-7356]

im wearing glasses, is that a problem for this helmet?

[@Patrick-zl6wt]

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

[@TH3G0ODGUY]

I don't think you have this helmet, its not available yet for purchase. There are only preorders available.

[@scrashball]

I dont know if its only me but, this helmet looks suspiciously identical to the Shoei X Spirit III 🤔
