I have the RPHA 70ST and I have used it for 2 years even though I bought it too small. It is so incredibly painful to think about paying to replace it so soon, but this one looks pretty nice and it's cheaper. Thanks for the overview!
Great lookin helmet and fits perfect compared to my other hjc helmets...2 things tho...inner visor is not anti fog and the with the pinlock inserted the helmet does not latch down properly...
I'm pretty sure that, if the pinlock label doesn't look flipped when viewed from inside the helmet then you installed it wrong, if it looks flipped from the inside but normal on the outside then you installed it right.
Does the i71 have true ECE safety certifications ? I checked the HJC pages for US and Europe, and it says only DOT in US but says ECE 22-06 in the european page, so which is it ??
I bought one in Australia yesterday, and it came with a quick release, which was fine I thought until I released it makes hanging it off my bike unsafe/easily stolen/PITA.
The brand new HCJ RPHA 71 will be giving Shoei a run for their money. Look for a review from Speed Addicts later this month. The helmet will also be available for purchase at Speed Addicts first week of May 2023 . You can sign up for a email notification so you first to know when the helmet at ready for purchase - www.speedaddicts.com/motorcycle/hjc-rpha-71-nardo-grey-helmet
@@threeheavensmusic Apart from looking like a numpty there are far more suitable helmets if you want a visor i.e. the Scorpion ADX1 or newer ADX2. (which is ECE22.06 approved). The ADX1 is the better lid if you can find it though. A road bike lid off road significantly reduces your peripheral view which is a pretty important consideration if there are animals or others about. Most serious off road people don't want a visor helmet though as you will invariably scratch the visor so most will run an MX helmet with goggles.
Hey there! Are these eyewear friendly? I wear prescription glasses and have been having a hard time finding the right helmet that can allow me to wear my glasses for riding.
Overall, the HJC i71 helmet is a great option for riders who wear prescription glasses or sunglasses, as it is designed with eyewear compatibility in mind. With its glasses groove feature and comfortable fit, it can provide a great riding experience for all riders, regardless of their eyewear needs.
Hello. I have one question. My measurement is 57cm and I have a more round face. For example the Icon airflite rubatone LARGE did not fit my head. I could put it on after some work but it was tight. So should I go for medium or large size for this helmet?
Are those white lining on the under side of the cheek pads reflective? Hope they are, like my cheaper Ls2 has highly reflective material in that area Is this better than the citation/vector ii ... vent and noise? and the sizing is it tighter than ls2's? my hjc is xl while my ls2 is large...
Good questions. 1. Yes that's reflective pipe. 2. Noise is highly subjective, we can't make a call for you there. 3. HJC typically runs true. What LS2 are you taking a Large in?
Yes, you will be able to install other comm speakers in the pockets. The only exception may be the Cardo Packtalk Black as it comes with extra large 44mm speakers. All other units should be an easy install.
@SpeedAddictsTV I was referring to mounting the units on the side of the helmets not so much the speaker cutouts. It seems like the cavities on the sides of the helmets would make mounting the coms unit there difficult.
@@verifiednobody7836 not ideal placement, but defiantly do-able. Both clamp and adhesive mounts will work either in front or behind the integrated comms door. We tested with a Cardo Packtalk Edge and Neo.
I've just bought one in France and I notice my i71 is different than the US version since it's equipped with a micro-buckle... Why is the name model exactly the same, then ?
I believe Europe, other than the UK, receive the micro-buckle. There are plenty of helmets that are exactly the same other than the fastening method, and have the same model name. (However, in the USA and Canada you will find what we get in Europe sometimes do have a different name for the same model even with the same fastening method, etc.) The product number will usually be different between the models when there is a difference. You would expect this if it is destined for the North American market and also DOT approved.
A circumference measurement is a great place to start, but we also like to know about you helmet history. Do you own a helmet now? If so what brand / model / size and how does it fit you?
Hey Jamie - We shot the video on the HJC Smart 21 and 50B last week. The video should be up within 24 hours. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it! The two primary differences between the units are Voice Commands / Digital Assistant and Mesh capabilities. The 50B has both and the 21B has neither. Otherwise they are evenly matched (same speakers and audio quality). So if you don't mind using the physical control buttons and you don't need mesh (large riding groups), than the 21B is a killer deal. Here's the link to the HJC Smart Units at Speed Addicts www.speedaddicts.com/search?search_query=hjc+smart
Bought this model half a yr ago. I didn't wanna buy the HJC intercom made for this helmet. Mounted my Cardo FREECOM haven't had any issues with it so far.
@amyvanacker5441 no mounted it on the left side of the helmet right above the panel using double sided tape. As far as the speakers they do still fit in the pockets, you just have to find a way to make the excess wires fit right.
Hjc just shamelessly adding difficulties on mounting other comms on their new gens of helmets. Ngl the new gen looks awesome but I gotta hate those mounting points for their comms
Integrated comms are polarizing. We've seen some designs from Cardo and new partners that are encouraging. The future of integrated comms will be less intrusive.
Exactly. Saw in the comments they were gonna come out with a video to install universal coms on the i71 and I just got mine this morning staring at it and wondering how they’re gonna do that. I’ll be waiting !
