Great helmet. I’ve had it now for 3 months and I’m very happy with it
madc355 can you prop open the visor a fraction of an inch for extra ventilation on a hot day while riding? Does it stay open a touch if needed?
Thanks Brian great review! I've just ordered one and was great to know about fittment, as I had to go a size up👍
Happy to help and thank you for watching! - Van
Perfect timing! Haven't watched the video yet, but this bucket has been at the top of my list for a few months.
I've had one for about a year now and can promise you-you won't regret it in the least. I have a track day lid but for everything else, this is my go to.
@@timothy9596 hey man how do you feel about wind noise in the 70? Compared to your other kids. Thank you!
@@mitchellweitzman9329 I'd love to help you with that but I wear earplugs so.....
@@timothy9596 Nice, I recently just started too! My current Suomy though even with plugs wind roar is suprising from every part of the helmet. Drowns out the bike's gear driven cams and exhaust above 60 :/
I bought a size up, and it fit better than my regular fit. It's a great lid in my opinion. My only problem is that somehow I got dust on the inner visor after sneezing, and when I tried to clean it I scratched it a little. Also, I messed up the pin lock so I I scratched the inside of the clear face shield. So, just be careful and when cleaning be gentle. Other than that I've had no problems with mine. I like the colors offered as they are loud, but not obnoxious.
great review sir! tons of help! Revzilla or cycle gear doesn't have a video on this one yet, nice job beating them to the punch!
Thanks for watching! - Van
i bought one of their cheapest helmets, a cs15 (=cs r3). Its my first, and it seems great. It got 4 stars on sharp, pretty good ventilation, good materials, good fit. All that for around 100 usd. Hjc ftw
Great review
Had mine couple months ,vias,great quality, was shocked as mail order, glad I watched this as thought I had cheek pad problem on one side,fixed thanks to watching vid,one of the red clips came out padding and still inside. Took out and put back in properly.
I have a lot of helmets, mostly premium brands, This hjc is definitely up there with them in quality.
Commuting 25,000 miles a year it will get tested for sure.
So far it's great.
The vents work great,tried in cold weather ,they work .
Surprised how quiet it is to .I went up a size after I read somewhere they run a bit tight.
Glad I did.
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. - Van
You commute 25k miles a year? Geez... that's like a 100 miles every day just to & from work. Have you considered getting a used Cessna instead? 🤣
@@mickeypopa
Thanks ,think a plane would be easier and faster,problem is parking.
Can wear bikes out for a pastime, some of the mileage is with annual trip away and weekends touring.Around 70 mile a average, ok when dry .
Be a couple days a year I don't use bike,ice or snow.
You.nailed the sizing comment on the med vs lg!
No worries thanks for watching! - Van
Tried one of these on the other day! Super comfy! Thinking of replacing my shoes qwest.
In the UK HJC also ship the helmet with a smoke visor included as well as clear
I have this exact helmet and it doesn’t come with the dark visor, in the uk.
Fog insert, but only the Marvel range comes with Dark visor. Only 15% tint so legal. You may have struck lucky..
hi Van. I had the same dilemma regarding the sizing... I've tried both M and L and chosen the M, although I'm just like you on the upper end of Medium, and I don't regret it one bit, at first was tight but it loosened up and now t's perfect. Safe rides! 🍀
I was thinking the same, I have a GT air 2 but love the rapha11. I’m a M at 57cm. I think it’s due to the sun visor that tightens it but with time, it will loosen up.
Great review as always 🍺
The comparison on fitment between the 11 pro to the 70 ST was very helpful.. Thanks
No worries, happy to help out. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Indeed, thank you. I have tried M and L in RPHA 11 and considered buying M with thinner cheeckpads, as the standard ones felt a bit too tight. I want helmet for daily riding as well as sport touring and an occasional track day. Wanted to buy RPHA 11 at first, but most people consider it to be more track oriented.. thoughts? thank you
Got a RPHA 70 Vias helmet a month ago.
Perfect fit, love the feel and weight from it.
It's quiet, all the airvents work amazing, the sunscreen is amazing.
Came from a RPHA 11 Ben Spies.
Did you order the same size in the 70 as you wear in the RPHA 11? I have an 11 and thinking about getting a 70
@@Jewellm83 me too, I find the 11 very noisy, curious if the sizing is the same in both?
My friend hello!im ready to take the ben spies next days...😁
do you think rpha 70 is better in ventilation and sound(noisy)
Please answer me 🙏
hey m8 i have a rpha 70 and for some reason (probably some combination from my Hight Windshield and so on)
but the helmet is super loud
I'm deciding between these 2 and some others. What made you switch from the 11 to the 70? Up to what speeds is it quiet without ear plugs?
HJC is killing it. They've come a long way! The RPHA helmets are aces. And the fact they're so affordable makes them a no brainer (bad pun intended). Competitors like Shoei and Arai will now have to step up their game. Development throughout the entire motorcycle industry is Great Again!
Arai doesn't care about HJC, it's not the same level. Shoei too.
@@mattseaman5397 Sure - if you compare pure build-quality you can see and feel a difference between HJC and Arai or Shoei. But when it comes to helmets fitment is key in my opinion. And I have tried Soeis an Arais - they all are kind of funny for me fiitmentwise. I just recently tried on the new Shoei GT-Air II (which is the direct competitor to the RPHA 70) and it was hilarious: L too large. M I can't get over my head without serious injury - absolutely no chance.
@@Child3k yeah, fair enough. If the HJC fits you better, it's the right helmet for you. Imo Scorpion and HJC are the best bang for buck. But it doesn't mean that Shoei and Arai are overpriced. Arai are the safest helmets on the market, but they are expensive and not really light.
Great review ! Thanks
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
About a month ago I went to a Large Bike Shop & spent 30-45 minutes talking with them & watching some videos. I purchased one of these in a Medium Gloss Black & I Love the comfort. It's really light and cuts out almost all the noise. I'm Very Pleased with it !!!
Enjoy your new helmet. - Van
My head is 56-57cm and I have a Small. At first it was very tight and I thought of going to medium, but it loosened up. Now it's snug and also very comfortable for rides of several hours.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the 70 ST. - Van
Hi, I'm 57, ordered M and still concerned if after loosing up it won't be snug enough. I haven't received it yet but wonder if it is worth sizibg down before it's too late to return it. Suggestions?
@@indorr Should have been fine; what happened?
Hi
So i received my helmet yesterday and i went for 200km ride today (mostly fast B-Roads with around 100km autobahn)
1st things first: AWSOME VALUE FOR MONEY! Respect HJC
2nd i have had 4 helmets for some long trips till now: Shoei Neotec, HJC IS Max 2, Icon Battlescar and now this RPHA70. The RPHA70 has the ***BEST*** dropdown visor for me, not only its far from the nose or further from it, but the quality its at an OAKLEY Sunglasses level, with a light dark mixed with kinda of a very light blueish effect if you are good at noticing it. The transition between them on and off its nearly unnoticable, but make no mistake they do their job to remove glare and to much sunlight with no effort at all.
3rd i choose a Large size for 59cm head like the specs required them and even-though i doesnt fit me as perfect as my Neotec does, with a simple balaclava, everything is perfect.
4th had to install my Cardo Packtalk Bold set (with JBL speakers) on it before going for a ride, to compare it to my other helmet, pretty easy to install and not only that but the sound isolation was weirdly good, i mean i took my DB off just for the test (Z900 full system) and the way it sort of repelled the exhaust noise compared to my Neotec (going 4 years and a half) was kind of a black magic.
Wind was something else though, the same level as the Neotec on its initial days, but compared to the Neotec, since this is a Sport-Touring and not Modular, it wouldnt give you so much freedom at turning your head side to side to look at the nature or birds in the fields (why would you do that u moron?? piss off i got bored on the autobahn .!. ) and here i might say this was the only thing i didnt like so much about it (not that it bothered me or something just need to get used to, speak my mind)
5th as per those jackasses that complain about air flow, grow a pair, u either get air flow or sound isolation you dont get em both, BUT it was 34-35 degrees when i went for the ride, sunny as hell, full Dainese 2 piece leather on AND i simply opened the windscreen for a couple of seconds and thats it, no stress at all eventhough i was engaged in some nice twistiest at high Temp. There is a really good flow of air in it, there is nothing to bother i think.
All in all for the price/quality ratio and looks i would recommend it any day of the week.
As for me: Kawasaki Z900 rider, Puig Touring Winscreen and 169cm tall
Cheers
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with this helmet! - Van
Great helmets, very light weight and excellent quality. I have 2 rpha 70s. Only complaint is I take an xl which should be 61/62 cm but with these it's 60/61 and come a bit tight at first but does bed in after a while.
well - Last year I made an upgrade - from 10 ST to 70 - and automatically took the XL size - and it was Too tight - so I had to return and take bigger XXl size .
Agree with dimmensions. I am a S size but M is the right for me from this modell. Head measure is 55.5 cm.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. - Van
Very good review 👍
Thanks for watching! - Van
#1 I have to say I love your helmet videos, when you added the eyeglasses demos you made a fan. I like the fit and feel of the RPHA 11 pro, but I do touring no track days. I ride a tracer 9 gt. Should the RPHA 11 be a good touring helmet or should I go with the RPHA 70?
Personally I prefer a traditional full face helmet without the drop down inner shield so I would suggest the RPHA 11 Pro. You get a little better field of vision and better ventilation. IMO they are also better at managing impact. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear hell yeah 👍👍, thanks Van.
I bought the HJC RPHA 70 ST Carbon Artan (red stripes to match my Ducati) and I must say that is it a FANTASTIC helmet. Far more comfortable, quieter, and lighter than my Shoei GT-Air I used to ride with. To me, this helmet is far superior than any other in the category or price range. And that carbon finish is absolutely gorgeous when you see it in person and up close. Highly recommended.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the RPHA 70. - Van
Sot on with size. Spidey 11 med. Iron man 70 LG. Great ventilation.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. - Van
Love the helmet, love the review. HJC produce a top quality lid, and I currently own an HJC i70. I bought a medium, which at the time was a very snug fit, even though the tape measure places me at an XS, size-wise (I have yet to find any XS helmet I can get my head into), but 5 months down the line the padding has 'bedded down' and at speed I now feel the lid rising slightly. So my next HJC will be a Small. I've tried on the Small and can just about get my head into it, but once on it is a perfect fit. You live and learn.
If the tape measure is putting you into an x-small you should not be riding in a medium. - Van
I'm not huge on the drop-down visors but this otherwise seems like an excellent value commuting helmet.
update: I bought one. I love it although it is a little tight in the cheekpads. Where I was a medium in my CL-17, I was a large for the RPHA 70 ST. I haven't had the chance to try an XL RPHA but I feel like maybe that would be too big everywhere else and be a little loose on my head (and I could afford to lose some weight lol maybe that will help with the tightness on the cheekpads)
I agree with you.... Fit is little tighter tha rpha 11 l/m size
Thanks for sharing your feedback! - Van
Hey, thanks for the great reviews. The shop I went to didn’t have this in my size, but they had the i70, would you say the i70 fits similar to this or should I try to find one? I’m 60 cm, so should I size up with the shell size jumping up at xl?
No this helmet runs one size smaller than the i70 for me. I need a medium in the i70 and a large in the RPHA 70 ST. - Van
I have hjc is17 phenomenol helmet lw, a little loud but it's a 5/5 on sharp can't complain for buck 70. I do wish their liners held up a bit better I dunno. I'm thinking of trying out the ls2 gt challenger 2 or the carbon scorpion st1400
IMO the Scorpion ST 1400 would be a better choice than the LS2. - Van
Hey Brian. If I like the fit of my rpha 11 in a medium, what size would you recommend I get for the agv k6, rpha 70, and scorpion exo r1? Thanks brutha and keep up the good work
I would go with a medium in the Scorpion EXO-R1 Air and a medium small in the AGV K6. They all fit me well with some variance between them as expected. Compared to the Scorpion and AGV the fit of the RPHA 11 Pro is a touch looser with a more relaxed on / off effort. Not enough for me to wear a different size, just different. - Van
Sportbike Track Gear Thanks brutha. I went with the nardo grey K6 in m/s. Can’t wait to rock it.
No a helmet comment but I wanted to get the LeoVince lv-10 exhaust for my ninja 400 but I cant find it anymore on your guy's site. Do you guys not sell it anymore?
They are out of stock until August 20th unfortunately. We have several on order now. - Van
Thank you so much for your great work.
Can you please help me? I have a Yamaha XJ6 Diversion 2010. For street and longs trips wich helmet is the best between Scorpion Exo 1400 air or HJC Rpha 70 ?
Apreciate your help.
I believe they are both excellent options. IMO the riding experience from both will be very close. With the RPHA 70 you will find a little better venting, with the ST 1400 you will find a little better overall quality and the air fit cheek pads. - Van
For you, the Bell Star mips is a choice? I found one at a incredible price.
I am not sure if it applies across all lineups but they now have actual Pinlock inserts, instead of the generic HJC version
I am not 100% sure but think these are made by Pinlock. - Van
Hey Brian. I’m usually a size medium, but would it be possible to get the size small for the smaller shell and profile and just get thinner lining and cheek pads for a custom fit?
While I will say we are all shaped a little different the medium size in the RPHA 70 ST is a total no go for me and I am in a medium in most everything else. - Van
Sportbike Track Gear did the size M fit you too small? I watch all your videos and notice you are a M in almost all your helmets.
I love hjc helmets but their inner liners break down quickly. I'm coming from a hjc is17, have they improved the quality of their liners with their rpha series?
I have 2 of the RPHA 11 Pro Helmets now and feel the quality of them interiors are better than in the less expensive models. IMO it is very important to make sure the helmet fits tight enough when it is new that it will not become too loose once the liner breaks in a bit. - Van
Is-17 is budget, so budget pads. Rpha are really good pads.
Great review. But you need to get a pointer to keep your hands out of the inside of the helmet as pointing with your fingers with your hand and arms in the way doesn’t allow any visibility.
Not a bad idea, I just don't want to do it. - Van
Hey Brian How Is Rpha 70 Ventilation Compare To Any Other Drop Down Inner Shield helmets?????
I have not ridden in the RPHA 70 ST. That said this helmet has the most exterior vents you will find on a helmet with a drop down inner shield. My expectations are this will vent well. - Van
Two off my HJC had this kind off visor locks. Both made the visor crack and the lock fell off one in 5 week off use....
I have 2 RPHA 11 Pro Helmets and have not had any issue with the central shield lock. - Van
Hi Brian, I measure 57cm and am usually a medium. I tired on both the medium and large. Medium is so tight and not comfortable at all. Large is just perfect now. But my question is will the large loosen up and will I end up with a lose helmet? Thank you
While every helmet will brake in a bit if the Large is just right and the medium is way too tight I would think you will still get a good fit after break in. - Van
I have removed the cheekpads but can't seem to get it back in right. The long plastic piece that will go between the outer amd inner shell doesn't go in as far as it should. Can someone make a video of how to correctly put the cheekpads back in?
You need to be patient and make sure the cut outs in the retainer for the cheek pads align with the pins in the shell. Should not take a lot of pressure to get them back in. - Van
How does this helmet compare to the Scorpions EXO t1400 (carbon)?
IMO they are both excellent options for a quality full face with a drop down inner shield. The HJC will move a little more air, the Scorpion has the inflatable cheek pads and a little better overall quality. - Van
Are those cheek pads layered inside so to remove some layers for better fit?
No that is a feature only found on the Arai helmets. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Thank you Sir.
Still a helmet to consider,2022...or are there others now that compete in the same price range?
This is still a solid helmet. To be fair with the damn Covid we have not seen much product development over the last couple of years. - Van
Wanted to compare
This with some Shoei models but lack of HJC vendors in my area. Afraid to risk an online purchase where I can’t return it and also have to deal with a PITA process for exchanges, etc
If you have the ability to try the helmet on before you buy it that is a real benefit. What I can tell you is most riders are now buying them online. We see far less returns on helmets than you would expect. If you use the size chart and watch the reviews most riders will find a helmet that fits well. - Van
do you have the Yellow one to review?
We are not doing graphic specific reviews at this time. Only reviews for models relevant to our customer base. - Van
Great video!!! I am close to buying the HJC Rpha 70.
Tried the Coptic Medium and it fits great. The local dealership however is selling it about 90 EUR more than i can find it online and has only the Coptic model!
My question, if you guys know, if i order online a different model eg. Balius or Gadivo Medium will it be ok? What are the these MC5, MC1, MC5SF etc i see on every different model of HJC helmets?
Appreciate you help!
The helmet is the same, just the graphic is different. The MC stuff refers to the color combination of the graphic. - Van
got a scorpion 710 in small should i go with a small in this one
I would start with the small and evaluate the fit. This helmet does seem to run a bit to the small size for some riders. Get the helmet, wear it in the house long enough to know if you are happy with the fit before taking it out for a ride. If you feel it is too tight exchange it for a medium. - Van
My head is sized 57.5cm a medium in hjc sizing, should I size up or should I just stick with medium?
I am 58cm and found the medium in the RPHA 70 to be pretty tight, tighter than my RPHA 11 Pro for sure. IMO you should go up one size. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear My head is 59cm, and I've been wearing a L in this helmet around the house for a couple days, not sure if it's too small or just needs to break in a bit. The cheek pads feel pretty good, but the crown just feels a little tight, like I would like it to sit down a little farther on my head. Would you say it would be worth trying an XL?
@@Skyeward01 did the crown break in or you got a size up? I had the same problem my head is 58cm ordered a medium and I felt like the helmet sit too high
@@SqNStyleR1 I ended up deciding that it just wasn't quite the right shape for my head, a bit too round, and I felt like I was going to get forehead pressure point when riding. So I tried a LS2 Challenger GT which is supposed to be long oval, and it fits well. I like the cheek pads, the pad liner material, and the overall finish quality of the RPHA 70 better, but I've had too round helmets in the past and when you're head's getting crushed it kinda trumps everything else! I will say the Challenger has excellent anti-fog coating on the shield (as good as scorpion), and has great FOV.
does the drop down visor can go eye glasses
You should be able to wear glasses with pretty much any helmet that offers a drop down inner screen. - Van
So between this and the icon airflite which is better seem pretty similar to me
The Airflite will flow more air and be a little louder. Beyond that they are similar for sure with Icon dominating the style IMO. - Van
The Icon Airflite MIPS Stealth Helmet I cant find anything on google about this or a break down of the helmet is the MIPS a gimmick?
Just curious how quiet it is and how much the wind affects it
Personal experience: That's all fine - an issue can be the seal against the chin. If you are between sizes (eg M/L) then go for the smaller one. For street riding aerdynamics aof the helmet are good. For the track I can't say.
Head checks aren't quite as "smooth" as the 11 Pro which I also own as my track day lid. But, I do have a friend who owned the GT Air and switched to the 70 ST and he swears it's just as quiet and better aerodynamically. Hope that helps.
I have not ridden in this one nor do I expect to ride in this helmet anytime soon. Looks like we have a couple of users answering this in the comments below now. - Van
Does anyone know the part number for the visors?
HJC HJ-26ST Pinlock-Ready Shield
www.sportbiketrackgear.com/hjc-hj-26st-pinlock-ready-shield/
Still a good buy in 2021? Hope so, just ordered one.
Yes this is still a current helmet and a good purchase. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Thanks for the quick reply. I had jumped the gun on ordering one and watched reviews after. Your review helped me decide not to cancel it lol. Thank you very much.
Can you review the 6D ATS-1 Helmet?
I actually just received the ATS-1R Helmet from 6D today. We will shoot a review and then follow up with a ride review later this month. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Thats awesome! Cant wait to watch, I never get gear without watching your videos first.
Do you guys do worldwide shipping?
Yes we ship internationally using USPS or DHL. - Van
no. i dont
So if it's tight on the cheeks and a little on the temple will it listen up?
I bought the RPHA 70 two months ago, it was tight in those areas the first 5+ times I used it. After 10+ times of use it really loosened up and became perfect.
Thats why you want to break it in a little with your own head/face, the fitment becomes absolutely perfect.
My RPHA 70 now fits incredibly well, so comfortable, like a glove. And its such a good Helmet. 10/10
Yes it will break in to some degree for sure. Just like any safety gear it will loosen up a bit after you ride in it a bit. That said if the helmet is so tight that it is painful odds are it will not break in enough for that to go away. - Van
niggasjit what’s the update on your helmet? Is it still any good? Any issues pop up ?
IS THIS THE SAME AS THE HJC70 RPHA SHUKY
Yes this is the same helmet model. - Van
For everything that HJC manages to get right and do better than a lot of the competition, they also seem to miss the mark on certain things. I think that chin curtain is poorly executed and they should have given the user two sizes that both clip in (like the cheek pads/liner) to the inside of the chin bar. Want more air, use the smaller, more open option. Want less air/more warmth/less noise, use the larger one. Would accomplish what they did here but in a more sturdy way. I can't see that velcro staying in place when I'm trying to fit my head inside.
The chin curtain could be a little better for sure. - Van
Merci j'ai pas compris comment il fallait s'y prendre.
No worries, thanks for watching! - Van
i have one of these. Ventilation suckes. I bought a Bell Race Star Flex DLX.
Helmets with a drop down inner screen do not vent as well as those without. The inner screen forces the designer to place the vents in les optimal places. - Van
rpha 70 Rpha 11 they have same fit... but rpha 11 is very tight fit.... go a size up..... If your head size fall medium go to L Size....
I disagree with this, IMO the RPHA 11 Pro Helmet runs true to size. The RPHA 70 ST does run approximately one size smaller than marked. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear my Hat size 57cm. In Rpha 70 What Size Should i go for...
@@smartbikers4550 did you go for medium or large?
@@SqNStyleR1 brother.... rpha 70 is little tighter than rpha 11.... M/L size. Rpha 70 is like race fit....than rpha 11😅.... It s only padding variation.... ... I go for medium.... Both
Which rpha is the best version?
I own the 11 pro and the 70 ST. The 11 is my track day lid and the 70 ST is for everything else. If they'd let me where the 70 ST on the track (which they won't because it's not Snell cert.) I'd ditch the 11 pro. Hope that helps.
@@timothy9596 helps a lot actually. I kind of prefer the shape of the 70. This will be my next street helmet purchase. Which is why I was asking about it. Thanks
Got the RPHA 70 for a while now. I have one in size L - and what you say concering fitment is true.
After a year swapped out the cheekpads (40 mm) with the size M ones and its perfect. Was a bit
tight right after the swap bei now I dig it.
I wish there was a version of this helmet without the dropdown visor ... the RPHA 111 fits differently. I prefer to ride with a tinted
visor and carry a clear one with me when I know I might need it. Personally I think the drop down visor is not that good qualitiy
and a pain to clean - so mine is alway dirty (mainly because I stopped using it).
I would suggest trying an RPHA 11 Pro for you next helmet. The fitment is a little different than this one as it runs a bit smaller than the RPHA 70 ST by almost one full size. - Van
What design is that...?
That is a closeout graphic. Here is a link to all of the RPHA 70 ST Helmets we have on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/hjc-rpha-70-st-helmets/ - Van
I hate how these reviews say “let’s tons of air in the vent” this helmet venting is not good. At all
We are not able to ride in every helmet we sell. Just not possible or practical for us. That said I have ridden in all of the top shelf full face helmets and compared them. If you want strong ventilation helmets with a drop down inner should be avoided. The inner shield rides in the best spot to put intake vents. - Van
Internal tinted flip down visors that only cover 1/2 way down are worthless to me. I do not want to look thru half tint/half clear with the diffraction line in the way.
Visor falls very easily in low speeds....avoid it.i bought it and regret.better buy a shoei
We do not spend anytime riding with the shield open and have not tested this. While I like HJC for sure Shoei is a better helmet when quality is criteria. - Van
