Thinking of picking up a rpha 11 next month, any sifu can recommend this helmet for long term use? Plan on using for my first trip with my brother to Kuching. I know it's racing helmet but I like the narrow look of it and also come with pinlock and free dark visor. This will be my *first* helmet and I want to make sure the rm1++++ price is worth it.
*
I would recommend you to consider the rpha70. It comes with a retractable sun visor/shade which is a better option than using a dark visor. And it's a much quieter helmet.
It's a better helmet for daily use and
for long distance ride.

I'm using one, my daily ride helmet. No regrets.

Forgot to ask
What type of bike are you riding?

Rpha11 aerodynamics is designed mainly for sporty riding position

Rpha70 is designed for upright riding position, touring , etc

My ride is a tnt 300, quite upright but sometimes I like to cucuk corners like a mad man and my current helmet always pushing back when high speed. Maybe I'll take a look at the rpha 70. Also, what's the fiting like on hjc helmets? I heard it a bit tight on the cheeks and is it good for oval face like me?
*
Tnt300. Then better go get rpha70 or 90
So far I have no issues with wind push wearing my r70 when going like 130kmh++. Stable.

You have to go test fit the helmet.

technically there's no issue with buying an old helmet right? Is there a recommend shelf life? or is it similar to a tyre that you wouldn't wanna buy when its been manufactured and stored for a long time?
*
Just take note of the shelf life
Just like rubber (Shoes especially), when it is left idle for a long time or will go brittle.
As for helmet you may want to see the condition of the padding.
As for the epa foam shell, it will weaken over time.

Does the rpha 70 come with any freebies like the rpha 11? Pinlock or smoke visor? Also have you tried intercom with the helmet?
*
Mine came with pinlock

Rpha70 has a cut out for the intercom speakers. Mine installed the Bluetooth speakers. Fit just right.

It's comes with pinlock in the box.

It does have cutouts for coms. Been using cheap china coms on it.

There are many "aftermarket" visors available for the 70. Both the 70 and 11 uses the same HJ-26 visor which is easy to find online . I have 4 aftermarket ones costing between 50 and 70 each.
*
For safety sake, it's better to use original

Don't know what's the quality of these aftermarket cheap visors.

I'm more concern of rocks or projectiles smashing into the visor when you are traveling at high speed

I had this experience where a stone/rock smack into my visor when I was riding on the highway, the impact was damn loud. Had a deep scratch on the original visor. It did it's job well.
This is why I always such to original hjc visors. Not cheap, but worth it.

D ring is most secure n fail proof? design, but mafan abit la, c which one u prefer oni.
hjc normally tight for round, u need to go try.
the vents, just the lobang outside is not enuff,
inside the foam needs to have channels, and exit/ekzos holes at the back, + padding design also counts.
mostly expensive models have these.
*
yes. D ring is most secure and safe.

as for fitting, the best is to test it out. No point go online to ask for opinion.
need to wear it and food.

as for vents, just go for branded helmets. functionality is tested in R&D.

Get a full face helmet, and an ECE rated one.

The riding school helmet, you might lose your chin. Getting a non full face Bilmola, you gonna lose your chin too. So why bother?

Old video. But informative
@1:40
Showing the importance of full face helmet






INb4.....I ride kapchai only, I ride slow, I ride in the city. No need full face helmet.

Yup, first big crash. Fractured left ankle. Car suddenly change into my lorong. Had no time to brake and flew a couple of feet and hit my head pretty hard. Helmet took most of the impact and my gloves too. I'm so blessed I decided to wear full riding gear that day.

Thank God you are ok. And good that you wear safety gears.

Except for the ankle

I was wearing benkia brand riding shoe, protected my feet no problem but since I hit the car pretty hard on my left leg, my feet like bengkok sideways. They had to cut open the shoes though, but overall it did it's job pretty well I'd say.

Ouch.
Sorry to know that

The benkia riding shoes..... High cut or low cut ?

High cut. Pretty budget riding boots. I'll have to look for another to replace it, maybe tcx or Alpinestar.

Speedy recovery.

I think would have been worse without it! When getting new branded boots do look for the CE rating label on the boot. There are some name brands which doesn't carry CE rating.

Looking at your gear.. even if its budget gear, it beats no gear. Speedy recovery!
*
True
Even wearing budget gears is better than none.
That's why I always advice just buy the best you can afford. Not cheap I know. But just treat it like paying for an insurance.

Durian Bikeris having quite a significant sale today.
user posted image

cheap nolan and x-lite.
can take a look if you're looking for a new helmet.
the sale price is much cheaper than any local store that i've seen. even cheaper than what fc-moto could offer (after +shipping +tax).

that sale price can apply another 10% rebate voucher on top of that sale price.

How's the wind noise of this type of helmet?
Will the sun visor caused the helmet to be unstable when riding in highway speed?
