HJC RPHA 12 Versus HJC RPHA 1 - ChampionHelmets.com 

Just get the older f71 carbon and save some money

Depending on if you need to upgrade or not. I’d say yes. It’s basically the exact same as the 11 except it’s better as it now meets ece 22.06. They’ve “improved” the ventilation but removed exhaust vents. But that forehead vent is completely re designed like the shoei. They’ve also moved the visor opening mechanism to the left side of the visor instead of the middle.

I would agree, especially with the visor opening mechanism. I own 3 other helmets. The loud icon airframe halo pro, the moderat Nexx xr3 and in fact an quite rpha 11. I can't express how incredible the design of the open and close mechanism of the rpha 11. It has a sturdy touch when opening and closing the visor with or without gloves. Now I don't own a 12... But watching the video with these guys going through and discussing the 12. You can see at the end of the video with the rider struggling to open the visor with the 12 (also fog forming because there's no pinlock either 😂) during its final verdict... It reminded me similar to my Nexx Xr3, the visor can be a struggle opening sometimes with gloves on and can get old very fast... The 12 is a beautiful helmet with an improvement for ventilation sure... But after seeing that struggle trying to open the visor... Sometimes if something is working fine as it is... maybe it's best to stick with it and not reinvent the wheel... I would just stick with the 11 after that... That's my personal opinion... Hope this helps whom that comes across and reads this Safe riding and goodluck!

rpha 1 also has a locking visor. and im not sure what you mean by bluetooth, but i have cardo system on my rpha1 no problems.
