Verified Customer Reviews for HJC RPHA 72
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.
