- HJC RPHA 90 Helmet Review
www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/h...
HJC updates their modular line with the mighty new RPHA 90. Clean lines and loads of features make for a juggernaut helmet in its class. HJC’s back at it with their advanced P.I.M. Plus shell technology, straight from the race track. Inside, this modular wears a MultiCool moisture wicking interior. One-touch chinbar and face shield releases keep it simple with their smooth action. Additional features include RapidFire III shield replacement system, pinlock face shield (HJ-29), integrated SunShield (HJ-V9), and DOT certification. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

We all truly miss your detailed review it was objective and very informative.
I'd like to see an option to add those cheek pads with the new neck extensions to the other helmets too. Don't know how much quieter this'll be in comparison to a full face. Almost at 500K, congrats!
I just wanted to thank you Anthony, all your reviews (info) has helped people like me, who are just getting into riding, and need to know what is safe as well as a good buy. Your really good at what you do, and I appreciate that. Thanks brother!
GREGORY RUSSO remember that revzilla.com is also the retailer of these helmets so their reviews might be biased
@@laurialariesto1293 With that said, they do talk about all the features of the product which is more information than you can usually find out about said product in any given webshop. Take a helmet for instance - the weight, strap type etc. is usually not provided, just highlights and marketing blurb whereas Revzilla are putting in a lot of effort to give us a 'detailed breakdown' of the product. I appreciate it! :)
You can clamp mount a sena no problem on this helmet.
I have an HJC bluetooth-ready modular helmet from a few years ago. The padding on the inside top of the helmet has two deep indentations which run from front to back. These leave large creases in my hair which look like I've had a freaky permanent wave done on my hair.
This guy is an awesome ''seller''. He uses words and sentences to his advantage to make us want/need the product. He's great at what he's doing.
Is it quiet as the rpha 90s? What about the 90s carbon ?
Currently have a large HJC Symax 3. What size would you recommend. Also will the Cardio pack talk fit.
You'd probably wear a size large in this as well. Also, yes, the PackTalk will fit. -DrewZilla
which one is provided as the most safety modular helmet? I am little comfused,despite the fact that caberg duke is the only modular helmet scored 5 stars only a few reviews about it..I am owner of schuberth c3 and i want to replace it since the lock mechanism after 3 years broke down and also scored only 3 stars.According to my reaserch i am beetween shoei neotec,rpha 90,HJC is-max 2 and CaberG duke 2.Which one is your recommendation?
I recommend the Shoei and this HJC. -DrewZilla
Would you choose the Neotec 2 over this? I can’t decide which one I want
The Neotec 2 is still made to a slightly higher quality, but it's also a bit heavier and a good deal more expensive. If you can try on both, I recommend you do so and go with whichever fits you better. -DrewZilla
Is open and closed really 2 position ??
I prefer the sunshade to be retracted via a quick tap on the top the helmet instead of fumbling for a slide actuator on the side; a feature I love in my IS-MAX by HJC.
I don't like reaching on top of my head. There's a reason 95% of sun visor switches are on the left cheek now.
I got 1513 grams (3.33LB) on a kitchen scale! It feels light and solid. My issue with it is that at 58cm head size, their large(58-59cm) helmet feels a little too tight.
I was always an XL with HJC and I've been a large in nearly every other helmet I've had.
Hows this compare to the new Bell SRT Modular helmet? The RPHA 90 is $75 more, composite shell and lighter. But how does the interior, opening mechanism etc compare?
Both have good, solid latches and easy to use opening mechanisms. The interiors are also nice on both. I like the Bell face shield a little better, but the HJC's lighter weight and use of 3 shell sizes instead of 2 are advantages. -DrewZilla
How have you found the closing clasp on the RPHA90 visor? I've got hjc is17, which cost me £167 which has got the same clasp. But I've got through three visors due the clasp fracturing the plastic, hence the clasp falling out! So my £167lid has turned into a £278 lid as each visor is £37-ish. I've currently got a bit of the trusted gaffer tape covering the hole its left as I'm refusing to buy another visor, it'll be cheaper to buy another lid, lol.
Tcrs fella ✊
So far, they seem to be ok. However, the helmet hasn't been out here long enough to know if there are long-term issues. -DrewZilla
Anthony, I know you say it is "optically correct " , but I had the Rpha Max and the optics with the interior face shield down was horrible. The helmet just was cheap...creaks and noisy. That latch in the center of the face shield is just terrible if the shield is up a little as it's in your line of sight. Got rid of the HJC and purchased a Schuberth C3 pro and love it.
I have a Daytona 675 would this be a good helmet for me? I really do like it.
It's a bit more focused for 3/4 to upright riding, but it's versatile enough to be worn on a Daytona too. -DrewZilla

is this helmet ece rated too. there are some that say they are and some that saythey're not, so whats the answer?
someone please help answer
This helmet is DOT only. The shell itself might have passed the ECE rating testing but since it only comes with a DOT sticker on it, that is the only thing certification it would legally meet under the eyes of the law. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or cs@revzilla.com. Ride safe, -Pat
Shame that the shell is larger, That's what i liked about the old one.
This is one of the nosiest helmets I have ever had with the top vent open. to sit an listen to plastic rattle is not fun. The back open/shut vent does nothing. The lower cut (Shorter) from the RPHA Max makes the chin strap cut into your adam's apple and rides further back under your jaw. I would not recommend this helmet but there is no returns when you buy it. As for the Red color unit it is more orange then red. My wife traded with me to try the new 90 unit and wanted the old RHHA MAX back after just 20 miles out of our 200 mile short ride from MN to WI and back a couple of days ago. April 11, 2019 is my response. I hope HJC is not listening to your slanted review or maybe you got paid by them.
I wonder whether the SMARTH is the way to go or a generic Cardo. I know it is integrated which is nice but I normally change my helmet every 3 years or so and a SMARTH limits my options at that time. Currently I tend to ride on my own (Billy no mates) so don't actually need rider>rider but knowing my luck, I would buy something without it and then all my mates buy rider>rider. Sound quality for music and radio reception are my priorities though
If you do want the SMARTH, I'd just spend the few dollars more on its replacement, the PackTalk Slim. It looks the same but has upgraded internals. In addition to fitting most HJC helmets, it fits a number of other helmets (www.revzilla.com/assets/0002/5993/Detailed_Fitment_Information_3.pdf). Sound quality is the same as the PackTalk Bold, and the less expensive Cardo units have pretty good audio quality as well. I'd recommend getting one with rider to rider ability. -DrewZilla

At this rate, I wonder if the Neotec 2 replacement will go on a little weightloss program, they dont have SNELL for modular to meet and with the premiums beginning to get lighter (the next Schuberth modular will no doubt be lighter otherwise they're cooked by AGV), they will begin to struggle at some point if they don't..
82phalanX how about kabuto ibuki? Dot & Ece
No chin curtain? Or did I miss it?
There is an extended chin curtain that comes in the box. -DrewZilla
Hi Revzilla, would this be an upgrade over a Schuberth C3 pro. I know the C3 cost me more but seeing this is a newer design would you say this helmet has now surpassed the C3? Thank you for your advice.
Not necessarily. The C3 Pro is still quieter and has its additional roll-off chin strap protection. For the money, the HJC is an excellent option, but the more expensive Schuberth is still a bit of a step up. -DrewZilla
Thank you very much for your reply.
You're welcome! -DrewZilla
Don’t really mind the Gatling gun sales technique; more words, less time? But, to really get the information to the consumer, it would help to have data slowly scroll at the bottom of the video.
Looks larger ... Are those two different shelf ??
Yes, I'm pretty sure the RPHA Max is a smaller size, so it's in a smaller shell than the RPHA 90. The RPHA 90 is still compact for a modular helmet. -DrewZilla
I think Anthony really love this Helmet,he speaks a lot slower than his other review and he has nothing but praise in the entire review. I wonder what Brand of helmet he actually use..
does the user's chin touches the chin bar like on the ls2 metro?
Generally, no, but if you have a large chin, then it's possible your chin could touch. -DrewZilla
This is one of the nosiest helmets I have ever had with the top vent open. to sit an listen to plastic rattle is not fun. The back open/shut vent does nothing. The lower cut (Shorter) from the RPHA Max makes the chin strap cut into your adam's apple and rides further back under your jaw.

2:18 dont wanna go full starwars, but jet there is a starwars graphic haha!!
No p/j for 400 bocks?
rpha 90 or is max 2? is the rhpa 90 that much better than the is max 2?
In my opinion, the composite shell and more compact size make the RPHA 90 more comfortable to wear for longer journeys, but plenty of people have been happy with the IS Max 2 as well. -DrewZilla
any one here have problem with this helmet when raining? mine spray water in my face in inside visor horribly some time i have to open the visor in rain
It has a built-in visor fluid. Auto detection of dirty visor.
I remember my first beer
it's an hard understanging how some parts are so small and "fragile".
For me this helmet when the flip is open, it fits my head comfortably, when I close the flip, It feels as though my head is in a vice, there is enormous pressure on my ears, cant ride more than 20 miles non stop on it. second complaint is the amount of noise, its really loud as though the flip does not seal properly. best thing I can say about it is, I can vape without removing the helmet. and it looks quite attractive. The aerodynamics are really good on it, my head does not bob from side to side, like my old helmet, as I wear it, Im breaking my head in and probably getting use to the lack of comfort. However i cant recommend it. perhaps my head has the wrong profile, round and chubby.
Camera man needs to stop zooming in on the old rpha
Compared to the pictures on the product page, the color of helmet in the video looks more like Titanium than Matte Anthracite, which Anthony called it.
Damn, modular helmets make us look like a bobblehead!
What's the difference between rpha and max 3
I assume you mean the RPHA 90 and the CL-Max 3. The RPHA 90 uses a strong and light composite shell construction, while the CL-Max 3 uses a more affordable polycarbonate shell construction and more affordable liner. -DrewZilla
@@RevZilla thank you . That's what I meant and was asking
Very interesting Helmet, it looks nice and luckily it fits perfectly on my head (like Neotec 2 or X lite X 1004 just to say two competitors...) but what about the noise? I read horrible stuff on internet about this helmet for the noise...
We find that if the helmet has a nice, snug fit, then the noise is pretty low. It's not as low as the Neotec 2 or Schuberth C3 Pro though. -DrewZilla
It was one of my possible choices but at the end I bought the X Lite X 1004, it fits me perfectly and I find it really good. Thanks!
Notification gang
The visor on this helmet is so bad that I'll never buy another HJC product. It's unfortunate because I like everything else about the RPHA 90. I take really good care of my motorcycling gear and have never scratched a helmet visor while cleaning, and I have never had one badly pitted from everyday use. Now, after a year of ownership, I'm on my second set of visors. The clear outer visor is the worst. I clean using only water and dry lightly with a very soft microfiber cloth, yet both of the clear visors I've owned have turned milky. They also have a lot of pits which can be distracting if the sun hits them just right. The helmet I used before the HJC (Bell) is 6 years old, still gets a bit of use and is as clear as when it was new. It has over 30,000 miles of use. One last thing about it that is below my expectation is that the inner part of the outer visor has no anti-reflectivity coating and frequently in certain light I can see my reflection almost as well as the road.
I had read other reviews about this being an issue with HJC Helmets, but liked the fit and features of the HJC, so I ignored them. Now I wish I had made another choice.
How about doing a Bluetooth installation video with a sticky mount or clamp on this helmet. I think it is going to be a big seller and a lot of modualr guys have bluetooth.
Roystarman I fitted the Cardo Freecom 4 with the clamp on my RPHA-90 and it fits like a charm. It doesn't get in the way of the slider of the sunshield at all and I find the buttons of the Cardo unit still easy to use. I hope this helps.
Looking at the previous next to the newest version I wonder why they went to a more bulbous helmet? Never been an HJC fan because I'm more long oval, but the difference in the shakes is these helmets would turn me off... Sorry.
The helmets sun visor has extremely poor optics that when I tilt my head forward (Tuck position or blocking the sun), the view through the sun visor becomes blurry and warped.
So don't buy this helmet if: You own a sports bike, or ride at sunrise and sunset.
My head measured 60 cm, intermediate oval and the xxl was tight on my head. They don't make a xxxl in the rpha 90. I hate that. Quality for the price is great. HJC makes a XXXl in the ismax 2, guess i'll try that one.
B T you will love the imax2 great helmet
I feel your pain. I have a HJC CL17 in XXXL and I feel like it fits me a bit too tight. I’m looking for a new helmet but I’m limited on what companies make a XXXXL.
great through review thanks guys,but if you could talk a little slower please mate.
This is one of the nosiest helmets I have ever had with the top vent open. To sit an listen to plastic rattle is not fun. The back open/shut vent does nothing. The lower cut (Shorter) from the RPHA Max makes the chin strap cut into your adam's apple and rides further back under your jaw.

My wife traded with me to try the new 90 unit and wanted the old RHHA MAX back after just 20 miles out of our 200 mile short ride from MN to WI and back a couple of days ago. The lock on the lens sucks and useless --period. April 11, 2019 is my response. You always do a great job on reviews thank you.
Tried it to a store yesterday and i can agree that the chin strap and microlock was onto my adams apple.couldn't even lower my head, totally discomforting.
I have the RPHA max Evo , It may appear to be cheaper but in a longer run it ain't, I commute on this after 3 years and 86000 km , I done 2 warranty repairs and it still has problems with that and this , avoid if possible. And I'm very gentle with my helmets. This will be my last HJC
don't talk so fast. does it have D loops? My Nolan helmet does not. it ratchets.
The version we sell here in the United States has double D-rings. Versions sold elsewhere might have a ratchet. -DrewZilla

The other guys don’t bring it I stopped watching all of RevZilla reviews.
I have to say, that visor looks thin as paper and super flimsy, doesn't make me too confident about it's protection...
It's not thin, nor is it flimsy (esp with pinlock inside). Just received this helmet a couple days ago, and the visor is just as sturdy (or more-so) than my other 4 helmets. As a point of reference, it's slightly thicker than ANSI Z87.1 rated safety glasses.
I can totally see it bending while he's handling it. Sorry but I might be spoiled, I own a Shark Speed-R, which has a visor thickness from 2.8mm at sides to 4.5mm at front and that thing gives you some confidence.
Understandable, but also remember that there are exceedingly few instances of motorcycle visors being the cause of injury. It's designed to block airborne objects, but the helmet frame itself will stop your face from impacting the ground or obstacle. Additionally, a flexible plastic is actually safer than a thicker/rigid plastic that has a higher chance of shattering.
Here's an interesting article about visors. Note that it specifically recommends "flimsy" and bendable visors over stiff ones, as they are designed to break off the helmet and flex, as opposed to shatter. www.helmets.org/visors.htm
Joel Dazey Whether a material shatters, or not is its physical property and does not change with thickness and surely not in these small ranges of thickness. The visor also has a large role in blocking wind noise, so thickness helps here.
That z900 has one of the ugliest wind screens i've ever seen
Дорогие друзья, вы большой международный магазин, дублируйте хотя бы данные в граммах или килограммах. Очень трудно воспринимать инфу в фунтах, дюймах и т.д. Thanks!
Build up them neck muscles if 4lbs is too heavy. 😂
And again....
bla bla bla....bla....
Man, what has this guy been using.... couldn't watch it till the end...too hyper for me!
Could you pls talk a little slower. !!
Steve Sahin , I think his intro spiel gets faster every new video.
Steve Sahin I think you’re at the wrong place for slow talking reviews.
Ultimately it's about getting more information out without taking all the time out of his crazy busy days.
the Shoei has a ratchet, and a nice girl doing the demo, so why don't you take your presentation off of TH-cam
Nope, just cannot do this guy. I simply cannot stand his hyper review. Doesn't this guy even breath, or pause for even a second? Just what drugs is he on?
Same here. Dude sounds like he is on coke all the time.
Snowflake much?
@@jeffkeni As Conservative as you could get, even held office more than once. This guy is just drugged up nuts and turns a lot of people off, including me. I certainly bought a new Neotec with sound and 31mm pads, but not a chance from them.
