HJC is once again updating its RPHA helmet lineup, with the new RPHA 90 modular helmet.
The RPHA line was HJC’s move towards building helmets with premium-level features, instead of the more value-oriented products it has traditionally been known for. The RPHA helmets are constructed of lightweight materials and typically packed with the same features as more expensive helmets from Japan or Europe, but still coming in at a lower price.
The new helmet will presumably replace the RPHA Max, the previous modular model that fared well in CMG testing. MSRP starts at $459 US, but the price will likely drop after some time on the market.
See HJC’s full press release below for details on the new helmet’s features.
PRESS RELEASE
The RPHA 90 is the most compact modular motorcycle helmet in the world, resembling a full-face helmet through weight and appearance, yet functioning as a modular helmet. The helmet’s super-lightweight is a result of the compact shell constructed of HJC’s very own Premium Integrated Matrix (P.I.M.+) shell material. This technology provides enhanced shock resistant performance and superior aerodynamics while maintaining comfort for riders.
The ultra-light RPHA 90 is equipped with HJC’s new Sun Glide system. The inner-sun visor operates smoothly on an adjustable wire for ease of use, lowering a longer and wider anti-fog and anti-scratch visor for better sunlight eye protection.
I ve had two of HJC modular helmets fall apart with broken plastic bits in the flip up part. I wonder if these would do that 2 ?
Is this a new product announcement or an advertisement ?
Yes.
But I’m disappointed the adver-nouncement doesn’t mention when they will be available.
I haven’t been able to find one anywhere yet.
