In the EU it is ECE only. They do not have a DOT certification for this helmet over here.

[@DerKaktusAvant]

I’m based in the uk, my carbon is ece 22.05 certified

[@aleksandarmickovic117]

As an owner of the standard RPHA 70 helmet i can tell you that i´m satisfied with the helmet, just the noise at high speed is something to consider. I think that the Shoei GT Air 2 is a way better option but in the end u get what u pay for. I won´t regret buying it since its a pretty good touring option but for 100 $ more you get a way better one. Thanks to HJC for the great Helmet but work on your noise reduction in the future.

[@davidllewellyn945]

what about leaving visor cracked open slightly? is it still the case

[@BozzzMl]

Isn’t shoei way more heavy ?

[@aleksandarmickovic117]

@@BozzzMl Shoei Gt Air 2 is approx 1350 g vs rpha 70's 1500 g

@@aleksandarmickovic117 Shoes GT air 2 = 1486 HJC RPHA 70 carbon = 1399 AGV K6 = 1330

[@djwxyz]

I just return GT Air II - couldn't even test ride it as the strap was cutting thru my adam's apple bone. It's a shame cause otherwise it looked really nice fit and finish.

[@matthewwebb1951]

RPHA 70 Carbon in Australia is ECE. US needs to get with the times and accept ECE instead of DOT, then helmet manufacturers wouldn't even need to consider the DOT standard and could manufacture helmets for the entire global market.

[@MagicBrownMan]

the thing is manufactures don't need to consider DOT as is to be honest... The DOT is a self certification that is so basic that any Snell and or ECE certified helmet can pass it. The reason that the US will never move on past DOT is simple, by keeping the DOT as minimum any rider that want can get get better from the pool of existing helmets but those riders that use "brain buckets" can still legally use them.

[@mundane4082]

The medium and large is the same shell size so all the paddings are interchangeable. Been riding around with M for about a week. I think the configuration I’m gonna like is the large lining with medium cheek pads. If it’s gonna be anything like the i90 the cheeks broke in ALOT. I rode the i90 for 5 thousand miles. Hope that helps.

[@danielgriffiths8725]

I got M and its so tight still on the cheeks, what size cheek pads would I need.

[@LiaIanKai]

serious question, HJC rpha70 carbon or Shoei GT Air 2? please

[@kunjaffxi]

I miss Anthony :(

[@josephfriedrich9792]

Where you can't watch, decide and ride...

[@josh_ari]

Who is Anferny?

[@cybcx404]

I know right

[@nostranger2u]

Anthony was the best. Did he retire?

[@kuhndj67]

DOT is the attendance award of helmet cert's... sounds like bling over safety.

[@movem1]

Well said. Avoid these ultralight low certification helmets. Buy a better HJC model⚡️

[@ManWith2Hats]

My rpha 70 st carbon in Canada is ece rated

[@R.R.Defensa]

UK HAVE THIS CERTIFCATES 20.05

[@PRATEEK30111989]

what happens to the battery in time of an accident? does it explode on impact? what is the kind of battery protection provided?

[@chazzer666]

If you manage to land on the battery you've got bigger issues to worry about

[@tonordie5718]

I like the rpha 11 because the whole sheild is tinted so it blocks sunlight and thus heat.

[@geezus5664]

Where is anthony? I miss the guy

[@gromkour5341]

70 and 70 ST difference?

[@makiboi47]

Even my HJC RPHA 70 ST CARBON helmet is ST, and im from the philippines. US needs to update. where's anthony Btw? Havent seen him in awhile even in your latest videos.

[@Popsiclcoolcools]

Hell great video. Quick question, if I order the M and it’s too tight after breaking point. Can you just order the pads separately that was made for the L and exchange them instead? Just want to know before I ride in the helmet.

[@Omar-kw5ui]

its strange that these helmets have ece certification in europe and not in the US. Makes no sense to me why you would create 2 different skews.

[@georgioantoine4194]

The vents are horrible for bugs. Other than that the bucket is 🔥

[@Bikeadelic]

The problem i find with those sun visors is on winter days when there's not much light unless you are facing the sun and the light hits the road so you could use the tint but because it's cold when you drop it down it's completely fogged up and you can't see a thing. I have tried leaving vents open and it makes no difference.

[@R.R.Defensa]

Fix the pinlock mate ! That work perfectly 👍

[@Bikeadelic]

@@R.R.Defensa yeah I know

[@DarkIzo]

no ece on the rpha 70 carbon ? i could swear the carbon version is pretty old as ive seen it here in germany before (germany = ece)

[@sileniu]

E.U. has a different helm because of ECE.

[@Kamoi69]

What is the name of that rubber stand that you guys always put the helmet on and do you sell it?

[@RevZilla]

It is a Helmet Service Pad and we have a version of it available here: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/icon-helmet-service-pad -Zack

[@alopandur]

Also, popularly called the helmet donut...

[@Kamoi69]

@@RevZilla thanks..will order it.

[@HeyAddieImTojo]

Wait, who is this guy? When I watch a revzilla helmet video i don’t have time for a 3:44 minute video to actually take 3 minutes and 44 seconds. What happened to the guy who could make it happen in 3 min flat???

[@makiboi47]

Hey guys! Is there such a thing for a sun visor replacement for the rpha 70 series? Hope you notice this. Cheers!

[@danielgriffiths8725]

Appears alot are finding this helmet on the tight size. It took ages for mine to bed in across the temple and the cheek pads are still tight. Mine is an M. I tried a L of the RPHA 90 on and it fitted better. What the recommended pads size to swap to

[@douglasalexander4348]

Daniel you have 40mm, you need 35. Large and medium are same shell size, so swapping for 35 makes it a large.

[@igorruliov253]

Can you install cardo slim on carbon version? It is more loud then normal version ?

[@jiema2020]

WHO THE HELL IS BRENDON

[@senorfrio9406]

Brandon is from cyclegear lol

[@dafung6]

Does this helmet fit a cadio? Like the ear has a cutout slot for the speakers? Thanks

[@RevZilla]

Yes, this helmet fits Cardo speakers and has pockets.

[@DieselMI]

Is that helmet black or a dark green or grey 🤔

[@RevZilla]

It has a classic carbon coloring (dark grey). I think the studio lights are simply playing some tricks again. Cheers! -Brandon

[@lovelessissimo]

Hey where is anthonyfromrevzilladotcom?

He was the ex CEO, I am pretty sure he left.

[@lovelessissimo]

@@Omar-kw5uiThat makes sense.

[@darcher5888]

Just say no to DOT

[@cjganzan]

Dream helmet 😍

[@Fee.1]

DOT only ruins it

[@alopandur]

Was anyone able to install the Cardo Packtalk Slim communicator on the HJC F70 helmet ? What about this special Sena compartment at the rear of the helmet, can Cardo somehow fit over/in it? Does the internal sun-visor mechanism gets in way of the Cardo controller clips? The helmet is not listed on the Cardo site under helmets comparability, but I wonder if anyone in the real world did it...

[@vasileioskemanidis2242]

Hey RevZilla guys, I'm in the market for a long oval, full-face, non-modular, non carbon fiber, designed for (or at least allowing) upright position riding helmet with a quality sun visor. Would you have any recommendations? Thank you kindly!

[@RevZilla]

I would suggest taking a look at the helmets Icon offer, something like the Airflite would fit the bill perfectly for you: www.revzilla.com/icon-airflite-helmets -Zack

[@akfernandez4732]

Even my 60$ full face helmet has an ECE certification.

My rpha 70 cardon is ece🤔 from sweden

it’s not ECE? fuck that then.
