Great to hear you're enjoying the RPHA 70 Carbon, and thanks for letting us know how you found it! HJC have done an incredible job with taking the already strong RPHA series to the next level. How have you found the RPHA 70 Carbon for comfort?

@@Championhelmets tbh I haven't found it through you but I wish I had seen this review earlier. ;) Great job really going into detail with all the measurements. That takes all the guesswork away. As far as comfort goes it's definitely a big step up for me. The light weight and great aerodynamics make it really pleasant to ride without your head bobbing around at higher speeds. Internals wise, I bought the helm one size smaller with thinner cheek pads and they have yet to be broken in. Makes entering and exiting the helmet a bit tough but once I'm in it fits like a glove.

Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it! The RPHA 70 offers some strong performance all around and its great to hear it's living up to its name. If you have any questions in the future, we're always happy to help!

Numbers don't lie. It is one of the quietest helmets we've tested over the past two years. If you find this helmets loud, then you shouldn't test the others because they are significantly louder. The ventilation was ok but far from great. Others did much better. This is exactly the reason why we measure instead of giving our opinion. Thank you for your comment.

@@Championhelmets Do your tests take into account all the different variables such as rider height, windshield type, direction of wind, the angle of the rider due to ergonomics, etc etc etc etc? I can tell you for a fact that in my case the Scorpion 410 budget helmet is quieter than this helmet for me.

@@scroy doesn’t really matter so long as all they test are using the same methodology etc. then the implications are the same. That doesn’t mean your experience is invalidated just that without the comparisons they’ve made it’s hard for you to experience, also there’s a ludicrous number of variables

@@Championhelmets Is there a difference between RPHA 70 and same in carbon as far as noise? Maybe scroy has the standard/louder one?

All I took from this on ventilation is, on a touring bike with a big fuck off screen not enough air gets to the vents. A different bike may show different results. I've got an ER6F an at times on moderate temp days i close the vent at the top as my head gets a bit cold 😂. Still a good lid regardless.

The F70 is going to come between both thr i70 and the RPHA 70. So, instead of a polycarbonate shell it is made of fiberglass, it is prepared for HJC's Smart Bluetooth system, and it is more comfortable. But the RPHA series is definitely still going to be the best in HJC's range. Thanks for the comment! What did you think of the two HJC helmets' performances?

So Money wise it's not really worth shelling 100 bucks extra for the f70 over the i70?

We've made sure to carefully measure the different aspects of the helmet's performance. So, we unfortunately did find the helmet had 105dB inside, which is noisy compared to many of the other helmets we've tested under the same conditions. This also makes sense considering the large vents in the helmet, which will let more wind noise in. Nonetheless, compared to other helmets in its category it still has a lot to offer for features and quality. Thanks for the comment! What are your thoughts on the two helmets?

@@Championhelmets Thanks! I can see an F70 in my near future. Pretty much ticks all the boxes on what I'm searching for. It's sad that HJC decided to omit the quick change visor mechanism on this considering most their other helmets, even the $100 lids have it. Not a deal breaker by any means tho. It's got a drop down visor, so doubt there would be much need for face shield changing due to that.

Our pleasure! It was a bit strange that HJC chose to leave out the rapid fire mechanism. Though it's difficult to say, it likely came out as a result of keeping costs low (though as you mentioned it's also in more inexpensive helmets) or it may have been in the interest of aesthetics, as is often the case with retro helmets. But the drop down sun visor was impressive, especially when combined with the tall breath guard, which should also help in keeping glare to a minimum. If you have any further questions on the helmet, then we're always happy to help

@@gardenstateflatlandb I can confirm that THE F70 is NOT quiet - even with ear plugs. It's cacophony in terms of wind noise. I bought a Shoei RYD and was amazed at how quiet a a helmet could actually be, considering the F70 was my first helmet as a new motorcycle rider. Do yourself a favour - don't buy it. Also, i LF you opt for the HJC Smart system, you won't be able to use that on another helmet should you move. Finally, no SHARP ratings if that's important to you.

@@erdmax_ maybe some more details on yours F70? Does it feel that the visor is wide and field of view is much more than in RYD or other helmets? Do you feel this? Does it feel light or heavy on head?

Late answer but both are safe, 3 star is not bad.

SHARP always comes out with interesting results, and we'd definitely be curious to see how the F70 does. Thanks for the comment! What are your thoughts on the two helmets?

@@Championhelmets the problem of this helmets is the sun blande some of them don go donw inaf.

That does seem to be a fairly common problem with most helmets with sun visors. However, HJC have done a nice job with the F70 by combining a sun visor that drops lower with a large breath guard to help reduce any glare creeping in from underneath. If you find you have any questions, we're always happy to help

Hi, you can find the posting date at the bottom of the video, in this case we've published it on June 25, 2020.

@@Championhelmets wow I actually found it but man is it buried on mobile. It’s at the top on the far right of the description box. That’s so much better than the primary date location where it says “this month”

Though the F70 Carbon has not come in yet to check it on our scales, looking at the weight differences between the RPHA Carbon and normal RPHA ranges, the difference will most likely be about 30-40 grams for the same shell size. Thanks for the question! What are your thoughts on how the two helmets compared?

Hello! A helmet you can use both in summer and winter and stay as cool as possible is the Bell Star DLX MIPS, which has five stars on ventilation. Regarding your second question, I did not understand it properly, do you mean a multifunctional helmet? Like Sport-touring for example? If that is your question then please note race helmets are designed specially for racing. You can find our rankings at the end of every guide video, where we compare different helmets regarding ventilation, among other features. Thanks again! Do not hesitate to contact us again if you have any other question.

@@Championhelmets my apologies I see now I worded it poorly. What i meant to ask is if I want a helmet just for summer, what are like the top 3 ventilating helmets you’ve tested from any full face category? As for part 2, I was volunteering to compile your test results/ratings into a spreadsheet or other format suitable for transposing to your website.

All right, now I understand what you meant, I can recommend that you take a look at our guide to the best ventilating helmets kzfaq.info/get/bejne/la6bmrR7272UnoE.html I hope you can enjoy it and find a helmet that suits you! As of part 2, unfortunately I am not the man in charge, but I will ask my superiors for sure. If you have any other question do not hesitate to contact us again!

Just remember you can always lift your visor up.

I believe the Exo-'T'520 is the U.S version of the Scorpion Exo-520, which we have a review of, here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8uYY7KrudrbZ40.htmlsi=4HX4bC4IpQgUt2p_

Hi Joshua, the Cardo Packtalk Bold should have no issues in fitting the F70. There is space to use the clamp mount (since the Smart 10B/20B systems use clamps as well) and the speaker pockets are roomy, which means they should fit the JBL speakers. Since the Bold doesn't have an external battery like the Packtalk Slim, you won't need to worry about the area in the back of the helmet reserved for the Smart 10B/20B battery, which will make mounting the system very easy. Thanks for the question! What are your thoughts on the HJC helmet?

Unfortunately, the HJC Smart 20B is not designed to fit in the RPHA 70. The system's speakers come with a special latch system that is only included in the RPHA Carbon version. The main communication system designed for the regular RPHA 70 is the Cardo Packtalk Slim, which is also available in our bundle deals with the helmet. You can learn more about the Cardo Packtalk Slim and the RPHA 70 in our video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNB0otqqnMjDnYk.html Thanks for the question! What did you think of how the two helmets compared?

@@Championhelmets helped alot many thanks.... the hjc rhpa 70 st is a great helmet.... thanks for your linked video... so I did bought the cardo slim

@@ygrudge Our pleasure, and the RPHA 70 is definitely still a great helmet. If you find you have any more questions, we're always happy to help

Besides the carbon fiber outer shell, the main difference between the two helmets is the weight and that the RPHA 70 Carbon is specifically prepared for the SMART HJC Bluetooth system while the RPHA 70 does not yet have this. However, you can see more on the topic here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptOYmtues5uulJc.html

i was also looking into the differences of those two. i was wondering if i can swap liner and parts into the carbon if something goes bad. The HJC Smart integration got me worried, but i looked at both in a shop and the integration is part of the shell, so it doesnt seem like there should be a problem to me. i got a non carbon that took a fall, so im replacing it and thought about that upgrade. im probably going for the Carbon with the green stripe.

@@Denim330 Since the main difference between the helmets (besides the communication system preparation) is just the outer shell construction, there should be no problem in switching out the liners of the two helmets. Thanks for the question! How have you found the RPHA 70's performance on the road?

The main differences between the two helmets are the shell material, weight, noise level, and ventilation. So, while the N87 Plus is made of LEXAN polycarbonate and weighs about 1570 grams, the F70 is made of a fiberglass composite and weighs almost 100 grams lighter. While the Nolan does not ventilate as well as the F70 (it had a 2 degree difference) it was 3 dB quieter. Thanks for the question!

yeah its the side impact that is bad on the rpha 70

Rpha 70 btw ;)

We would say yes, add the 47 it is definitely worth it. It doesn't get a whole lot better than the rpha70.

Thanks for the question! If you're curious how the i70 performs on the road, you can find it included in our entry level helmet guide here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mreTnaWbnc_GYZs.html

Champion Helmets thank you! I will check!

Hi Christian, the best ventilating HJC helmets we've road tested so far are the HJC RPHA 90S and the HJC RPHA 11. When we road tested the RPHA 90, it came out with the same temperature as the exterior, which you can find here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l6yiltZl0sW6g6c.html&vl=en Though we haven't finished road testing the RPHA 11, our preliminary results show that it also has a strong performance for ventilation since the interior temperature was the same as the exterior as well. Thanks for the question! How did you find the performance of the two HJC helmets we road tested?

@@Championhelmets thanks! I think I prefer the F70 because of its ventilation. Nice work guys, you are awesome.

@@TheAlra91 No problem, and thanks for the feedback! If you have any further questions, we're always happy to help

Though we haven't had a chance to road test the Scorpion Exo 3000 Air, we'd stick with the HJC F70. Though which is better may depend on your helmet preferences, the safety of the F70 should be better overall since it is full face helmet and the EXO 3000 Air scored only 3/5 stars from SHARP. As far as noise, both will be on the louder end of the spectrum, but the prevailing consensus suggests that the F70 is going to be quieter than the EXO 3000 Air. As far as the other features in the helmet, we'd expect them to both be on a similar level. Both come with double D-ring chin straps and internal sun visors, though the F70 visor offers more coverage. Thanks for the question! What do you think of the two helmets?

@@Championhelmets Thank you very much for your fast and detailed answer, it is very helfull for me! The Exo 3000 Air is only with ratchet closure. Because of Corona I have to buy a helmet for driving school before my first lesson so I don't have any idea of motorcycle equipment. It is great to have such contact persons who can help me! Thank's a lot!

No problem! Apologies about the mix-up. Since it's a starter helmet we'd definitely go for the HJC since they always pack plenty of value into a helmet while still keeping the costs reasonable and the quality high. If you have any further questions, we're always happy to help!

@@Championhelmets Thank you very much again!

The F70 does have speaker pockets and is even built to directly integrate with the SMART HJC Bluetooth Intercom System. Thanks for the question!
