HJC RPHA-60 helmet review
HJC’s flagship dual-sport helmet takes on 6700 miles across Europe, Turkey, and Georgia to prove whether it delivers

I have a very large, long-oval head shape and have traditionally only bought Shoei helmets as I know size their 63 fits me well. However, wanting a more adventure style lid to replace my Shoei GT2 Air (which is 5 yrs old), I needed to look elsewhere. I tried helmets from Airoh, Nexx, Scorpion, Shark, etc. but this one was the best fit. It's relatively light (similar to the GT Air) but seems a bit quieter on wind noise. The peak seems to generate a bit of noise around 70mph, though, but perhaps that just needs tightening. Build quality seems great, but it's early days in terms of fitment - the first time I wore it I got a headache after an hour, but the second time seemed better, so I'm hoping it's "moulding" to my head. SBS were their usual brilliant self in bringing helmets into their Birmingham store for me to try on.
Good helmet with great features, eyebrow vents are great. Super easy to fit a comms system (Cardo Freecom4x. Well built. Sizing is good. Have not yet had it out so can’t comment on wind noise however with my cardo playing music I am unable to head anything over the music so I have no doubts it will be quiet. Came from a flip front carbon LS2.
First flipped up helmet in a while but I'm not disappointed, comfortable, fit and finish is good , would recommend and the delivery on sportsbikeshop are spot on . Highly pleased
Without paying a fortune this helmet provides comfort, security, flexibility with open face facility and drop down sun visor. Also has the spec to add Bluetooth earpieces.
This is an excellent helmet, a value for money very comfortable and easy use sheet and fairly quick to put on and off in use
This was my first HJC Helmet in many years of biking. It's comfortable and reasonably quiet. The visor gives a wide field of vision compared with my previous helmet which I find particularly beneficial. So far, there isn't anything I dislike about it. The staff at Boston also transferred my comms to the new helmet which was returned by mail within 36 hours - excellent service.
As above, smooth visor and comfortable.
