HJC RPHA 72

Very happy with my new HJC helmet.
This is a very comfy helmet with great features including drop down integral visor, Pinlock included. I can also add my integrated HJC headset from another HJC helmet.
I love the colours and modern look.
Wind noise is minimal and it is very light compared to other brands I’ve owned.
The whole purchase was smooth with very quick delivery.
The returns process is also very good if required
I give this 5 stars

Good quality, nice finish

My son's helmet, not mine. He reports better wind noise reduction compared to his old AGV. Nice matt finish, but good colour contrast hopefully improves his own visibility on the road.

Much lighter than my previous HJC

Excellent viewing visor, can see much easier when checking my blind spot and on junctions. Can feel how much better the aero is on this model and the drag can barely be felt even on a windy day. Air flow for the warmer days is really good as well.

Lightweight with comfort

I've owned several HJC helmets over the years and others such as Shoei and X Lite.This is best so far. Very comfortable, light at just 1400gms which is important to me and reasonably quiet. Not a cheap helmet at £400 but great quality. There's really no downside.

A Shoei equivalent!? Yes, I think so
26 Feb 2026 by Verity
Cheaper than a Shoei and seems to fit my head a lot better. As I have got older, my head shape has changed, I can't wear Shoei. So I'm trying this one out. Seems to be comfortable. The inner sun visor is larger than other brands, so that is great! Lightweight and build quailty is good.

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.
