Verified Customer Reviews for HJC RPHA 72 Carbon
First helmet in a long time.
17 Sep 2026 by Graham
The helmet feels like it has no weight, good snug fit all around, liking the internal dark visor, not so keen on the fiddly main visor release.
Chin guard material catches your nose if your not careful, it frayed on the first helmet after a few uses, but sportsbikeshop swapped it straight away, perfect customer service.

Lightweight and comfortable. 
04 Jun 2026 by Mark
Very comfortable helmet. Lightweight. I ride a naked, wind noise is moderate to loud, but can't compare with other helmet as this is my first higher price purchase one. But use ear plugs on long rides regardless. Just something to note.

Great replacement for my RPHA 70
11 Mar 2026 by Raj K
Light weight, comfortable and quiet. This is a step up for me as I have had my RPHA 70 for 4 years now and I was looking for a suitable daily replacement. The RPHA 71 wasn't to my taste and then this came out. The vents help with the reduction in fogging, in fact there has been no fogging at all. With the pinlock included (120XLT) it all performs well together giving you clear vision on those wet rides. The only thing that I would say is given the price the intercom mount should be included for Cardo and Senna models. I had to purchase my cardo Packtalk mount from Tubs Jackson which cost an extra £40.00. Other than the helmet is great but HJC need to start including things that riders will need to help with increasing value for money

Designed as a true sport-touring helmet, the RPHA 72 is engineered to meet the demands of both aggressive sport riders and long-distance touring enthusiasts. It delivers the perfect balance of aerodynamic performance, comfort, noise reduction, and protection - making it the ideal companion for any ride.
One of the most notable upgrades in the RPHA 72 is its more compact 3-shell / 5 EPS shell design. Compared to its predecessor, the RPHA 71, the RPHA 72 features a sleeker, more refined silhouette that enhances aerodynamic performance. Wind tunnel testing shows a 19.7% reduction in drag force and a 6.2% reduction in lift force, resulting in a more stable and enjoyable ride.
Key design updates include a new chin curtain and SMART HJC cover system, both contributing to better airflow management and noise reduction. The helmet also introduces a newly engineered visor - lighter and more compact while offering a crystal-clear field of view. Paired with an improved ratchet system, riders benefit from a more secure seal and smoother operation.
Inside, the helmet features a revised interior design with an extended semi neck-roll to help minimise wind noise, along with reflective trim on the top liner to increase rider visibility at night.
