Verified Customer Reviews for HJC RPHA 71 Carbon
A very well made and good looking helmet
03 July 2025 by Graham
A stunning helmet in every way. The only dislike is the wind noise that enters the helmet at 50mph+. This is due to the internal visor lever on one side of the helmet and the provision on the other side for the internal comms which I do not have. You can significantly reduce this by taping up the area internally and externally in this area, but that is the only dislike.

Overall a good helmet but watch out for wind noise
30 June 2025 by VD
I am overall satisfied with the purchase, especially because the store did match the price of another uk seller that had the same model for a substantial discount (around 40%).
After about a month of use i can observe the following:
Pros- material, latest safety certifications, comfortable to wear, includes a pinlock visor and a drop down internal sun visor
Cons- wind noise around the ears is very loud ( i ride a naked bike) chin guard does not do much in terms of blocking wind
Style: Hamil Fluo Yellow

Terrible helmet - Insane wind noise
03 July 2024 by Martin C
I wasted £640 on this helmet with an intercom fitted. At 30 mph you can no longer hear the intercom. At 70 mph and above your ears will bleed.
Don't buy one
