HJC RPHA 11 Pro Motorcycle Helmet Review
Shell Design & Protection
The HJC RPHA 11 Pro helmet has a composite shell created by various layers of carbon fiber, Aramid, fiberglass, and organic non-woven fabric that produces a very strong and noticeably lighter shell. HJC calls this technology, Premium Integrated Matrix Plus (PIM+), which will protect you from severe head injuries during a crash. On top of that, this helmet is also wind-tunnel tested and meets the DOT and ECE safety standards.
The RPHA 11 Pro is aerodynamically stable. Its shell is designed for ultimate performance at high speeds.
The shell is not only more aerodynamically refined but has an improved rear spoiler design as well.
Apart from this, this helmet, indeed the entire RPHA series, comes in a wide variety of graphics like the Venom motorcycle helmet and the Spiderman motorcycle helmet, among many others.
If you are a MARVEL fan, then it would be cool to wear a motorcycle helmet that not only provides safety and comfort to you while riding but also looks extremely good too.
Face Shield & Interior
The face shield is another advanced feature that is included with the HJC RPHA 11 Pro helmet, which is very rare to see in other helmets in this price range. It features the Optically Superior Anti-fog Lens Prepared 2D Flat-Racing Shield that also includes a 2D Smoke shield and the anti-fog insert lens. It provides 95% UV protection. The enlarged eye-port will increase your view and the RapidFire II Shield Replacement System provides an easy capability for the quick removal and installation system.
Its central one-touch open/close locking system is an excellent automatic shield locking system, which uses a spring-controlled lever.
However, outward visibility is not what I expected. But, I guess, it is still better since the horizontal and vertical sightlines from the eye-port have been improved and do offer a good field of vision.
Overall, it is above average. So, technically, you won’t compromise your field of vision if you buy the HJC RPHA 11 Pro helmet with the amazing graphics.
And talking about the comfort and fit of the HJC RPHA 11 Pro, it features a MultiCool Interior. An advanced anti-bacterial fabric that provides a moisture-wicking and quick-drying function. This technology will keep you dry and comfortable on long rides. The cheek pads are very comfortable, washable, and removable. You can remove them anytime you want. The cheek pads can also be removed in an emergency situation for quick rescue operations. And lastly, there is a recessed area in the EPS liner to allow for the placement of speakers in the helmet.
The HJC RPHA Pro 11 is available in various designs and graphics that you will not see in other helmets. These designs are very popular with the younger generation and totally worth every cent you spend on it. Nevertheless, you have to make up your own mind and decide whether this helmet is right for you or not.
Ventilation System
The ventilation system of the HJC RPHA 11 Pro helmet is excellent. This helmet has an Advanced Channeling Ventilation System (AC-S). This system helps to flush heat and humidity from the interior of the helmet by providing full front-to-back airflow. There are two ways that the air enters the helmet.
- Top Vents
- Chin Vents
First, let’s talk about the top vents. The HJC RPHA 11 Pro has top vents, chin vents, and 4 exhaust vents in the rear. The forehead or top vents provide maximum airflow in the helmet. Each top vent has a small rubber trim wheel that allows for precise adjustments and airflow control, even if you have gloves on. Air intake through the top vents allows cool air to circulate around the head area.
Secondly, we’ll talk about the chin vents. The chin vents are not quite as functional as the top vents of the RPHA 11 Pro. The chin vent has two ports for air intake with a shutter adjustment, which can be a little bit bothersome.
