QUOTE(areasontolive68 @ Oct 25 2022, 09:55 PM) 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 This post has been edited by skyblu3: Oct 25 2022, 10:13 PM |

QUOTE(areasontolive68 @ Oct 26 2022, 11:35 AM) 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 90So far I have no issues with wind push wearing my r70 when going like 130kmh++. Stable. You have to go test fit the helmet. |

QUOTE(technosakai @ Oct 26 2022, 12:00 PM) 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 lifeJust 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. |

QUOTE(jaycee1 @ Oct 26 2022, 05:14 PM) It's comes with pinlock in the box. For safety sake, it's better to use originalIt 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. 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. |

QUOTE(basilisk @ Oct 27 2022, 11:45 AM) D ring is most secure n fail proof? design, but mafan abit la, c which one u prefer oni. yes. D ring is most secure and safe. 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. 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. Jason liked this post

QUOTE(Jason @ Nov 7 2022, 12:08 AM) 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. TrueLooking at your gear.. even if its budget gear, it beats no gear. Speedy recovery! 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. |
