Hjc Rpha 70 Carbon Artan Motorcycle Helmet

The RPHA-70 Carbon is the improved successor to the ‘regular’ (now) HJC RPHA-70. It contained many elements that you also see in the high-end RPHA-11 (Solid Carbon), so you can consider it the sport-touring helmet version of the high-end racing model.

The helmet shell is also manufactured using the PIM Plus Carbon, the Premium Integrated Matrix method. The proportion of carbon has risen sharply compared with previous models, making for an even lighter helmet. And that was already just over 1300 grams. In other words: more comfort. Safety is not compromised, thanks to an ‘enhanced Shock-Resistant performance’. The different helmet sizes of this motorcycle helmet are divided over three helmet shells.

On the chin there are three vents: two lockable ones that blow directly on the inside of the visor to prevent fogging, and one lockable one that provides fresh air to the rider. Two top vents and as many (non-closable) outlets serve to circulate the riding wind. Everything is connected via the “ACS” system (Advanced Channeling Ventilation), integrated air channels in the inner shell that distribute the fresh air.

The RPHA-70 Carbon Solid comes standard with a transparent visor made from scratch-resistant material. Thanks to the RapidFire Shield Replacement System, the visor can easily be replaced without tools, if necessary, with a visor in a different color. The visor is equipped for the installation of a Pinlock lens, which comes standard with the motorcycle helmet. The visor can be locked in closed position. As a sporty touring helmet, the RPHA-70 Carbon Solid gets an integrated sun visor. The controls are located at the bottom left side, and even on the road, with motorcycle gloves, it all runs very smoothly. This is the biggest difference with the “big” RPHA-11 Solid Carbon racing brother, where, for obvious reasons, they prefer to change visors immediately.
A treatment on the outside of the visor with Rain-X anti-rain spray improves visibility during rain showers.

The RPHA-70 Carbon Solid’s soft and padded chin strap also gets a Double-D ring buckle, the only one allowed on the race track. In the event of an emergency, emergency services can more easily remove the motorcycle helmet by releasing the Emergency Cheek Pads.
