I have an old HJC modular and always liked it but it was one of their cheaper models. Decided it was time to buy a quality helmet for touring, and I prefer a modular. Started out Looking at the Shuberth C5 and the Shoei Neotec II. The Shuberth is a little more round in the head than most helmets and the right size was putting pressure on the front and back of my head. The Shoei fit perfectly and is a really nice helmet, but at 800.00, I wasn't sure if I wanted to wait for the next model since the Neotec II has been around for a while. Almost every review I found put the HJC RPHA 91 as third after the other two, so I took a look at that. At 550.00, it has all the same features as the other two helmets, for the most part. HJC run just a hair small, so I went with a ... MoreI have an old HJC modular and always liked it but it was one of their cheaper models.

HJC run just a hair small, so I went with a Large, I fit a Med in Shoei. Fit is perfect.Ventilation is amazing, lots of vents, both intake and exhaust, you can actually feel cool air flowing over your head. Pinlock 120 included so fogging isn't an issue. The visor detents are firm, but not too firm, so it stays where you want it. I read the one review for this helmet and the gentleman said his was weak and it would snap closed above 30-40 mph. Mine stays open at 55+, I tested it today. To be fair, I ride a Road King and the windshield may deflect more wind so it can stay open at higher speeds, or maybe his was just not as strong as mine. The chin bar opens and closes easy enough, no complaints there. In the open position, it stays real close to the helmet, so its not sticking way up like most modulars, even the Shuberth and the Shoei sit higher than this one. One other thing, I used a Bell helmet before I got this one and at highway speeds I got alot of buffeting, with this one there is absolutely NO buffeting, very well designed to break up the wind from all directions. I mounted a Cardo system to it instead of using the Sena setup that it is pre-setup for. Didn't have any issues and the boom mike sits in a good position so it doesn't interfere with the chin bar when it goes up and down. All in all, I feel in alot of ways, this helmet stands up to the highest end modulars, but costs a couple hundred less. I used to think HJC was only known for making cheap helmets, but things have changed. The RPHA 91 is in no way a cheap helmet. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a modular helmet.

Fantastic sunshield, venting, and comfort fit (little tight on the cheeks but expected with a new helmet). Unfortunately fails on engine noise from a GL1800 Goldwing. Guessing HJC anticipated users of this model to install a headset which may help. I have not installed a headset and something is either rattling or just poor design with the stock speaker pocket covers. Could be a trade off with the venting which is good. First helmet I've owned that requires the use of earplugs.

I purchased a white RPHA 91 helmet, I picked it based on reviews of airflow and noise reduction.The airflow is top-notch, you can really feel the air hitting your dome. And the flexibility of opening the outer visor to catch extra air at lower speeds is great. It's also easy to open the chin part at stops/really low speeds for maximum air. I have no issues doing any of this wearing riding gloves.As for noise reduction, I feel my old i90 is just a little quieter than this helmet, especially when you have all the vents open and are traveling at high speeds. It's not intolerable though. Usually wearing ear protection any way so it's not a deal killer for me.No issues mechanically, it opens smoothly from the chin and the external visor.

The internal visor operates well, but takes a little more effort if you're wearing a beanie or something under the helmet for sweat/warmth.My only real con with the helmet is that the weight of it sits forward, I feel like I'm constantly pushing the chin part up to keep full vision out of the helmet. I know I can buy other pads to address that issue, but it's just something to keep in mind if you're looking at this model.I ride in Texas heat, so for me the improved airflow is enough to put up with any small issues I have with the helmet.

Just bought this helmet for my new bike. I also own two of the older HJC RPHA 90s which are still great helmets and very similar to the RPHA 90S as well. One of the things I LOVE about the prior RPHA 90 was how firm and solid the detents are when moving the visor up and down. I live and ride in Florida and with the heat will often ride with the visor fully opened using sunglasses and/or the interior dark shield that flips down - at least until I get up to over 50 mph or so, where will then manually close the visor. With the older helmets, the visor stays open. With this new RPHA 91, the design of the detents and pegs on the visor that interface with them is totally different and MUCH softer and weaker than the older helmets. The visor moves up and down very easily ... MoreJust bought this helmet for my new bike.

With the older helmets, the visor stays open. With this new RPHA 91, the design of the detents and pegs on the visor that interface with them is totally different and MUCH softer and weaker than the older helmets. The visor moves up and down very easily but the down side is that as soon as you reach 30-40 mph the wind force slams the visor shut and you can't make it stat open above those speeds even if you want to, the detents are just not strong enough, And to be clear I'm referring to the visor only, not the actual opening of the chin bar, which, when opened and especially when locked open is quite robust and solid. The aforementioned issue with the too-weak detents on the visor is the ONlY gripe I have about the new helmet, but for me it's a big one. I sort of solved it by taking off the visor and added a small piece of heat shrink to each of the black pegs that interface with the detents - effectively making them a tiny bit larger in diameter. I also cut with scissors a couple of 1/8" wide slivers from an unused gift card and placed them in the slot across from the detent teeth making the counter force on the peg a little stronger. It's snug fitting the visor back in place but it's more solid on opening and closing and staying open. I may have to periodically repeat the heat shrink as it will get worn down opening and closing on the detent teeth but that's easily enough and costs me nothing but a minute or two of time. HJC can address this by making the black pegs on the visor a hair larger in diameter, and it looks like those are screwed in so it could be done.Other than the above issue, the helmet looks and fits great, the ventilation is awesome and noticebley better than the prior HJC RPHA90/s (not that it was lacking in those), and is fairly quiet.I installed on the helmet my Cardo Packtalk Edge which is AWESOME. I use earbuds (specifically Linsoul KZ ZS10 Pros with Comply sport memory foam eartips) with the Cardo as opposed to the helmet mounted speakers the Cardo comes with. I find those earbuds, since they are flat on the outer shell don't press hard into my ear and are block out ALOT more sound than either the Cardo helmet speakers or the HJC helmet by itself. The hi fit sound with the earbuds is also FAR superior even than the Cardo's JBL helmet speakers.But back to the helmet review. It's a great helmet, I measured out at Large and it was true to size. I just wish they had made the visor detents stronger like they were with the prior RPHA 90 and 90s where I didn't have to rig it to work the way I need it to.The picture attached shows where I added the sliver from the cut gift card. There is a round black pin on the visor that fits into the groove opposite that where you see the detent "teeth". The visor pins are a smidge too small in diameter and the teeth are not able to engage it strong enough to keep the visor open at speeds above 35-ish, unless you have a very tall windscreen on your bike that blocks wind from the front of the helmet more than mine does.
I am comparing the HJC RPHA 91 to my old Shoei Air GT which I was a great helmet for me.I spent some time looking at the top modular helmets. I narrowed it down to the Schuberth C5, Shoei Neotec 2 and the RPHA 91. The RPHA 91 had the best price.It does not seem heavy. It feels the same when riding as my Shoei. They are both size large, and both weigh 4.0 pounds on our home scale.Air flow is as good as my old Shoei. I am happy with the ventilation.Noise level is low. I would say about the same as my Shoei. I had to take the speaker inserts out because they were pressing on my ears so much, I could not get my glasses on. That may have increased the noise some.The fit is great. I took a 200-mile ride and had no discomfort from the size and padding. Being able ...

I took a 200-mile ride and had no discomfort from the size and padding. Being able to open the front to get gas or talk to someone at a stop is wonderful. This is my first modular helmet. It is easy to open and I like that it stays close to the top of the helmet when fully open.The sun visor works well. It is not as dark as the one on my Shoei and has a slit blue tent. That said, it provided the same level of protect and I am pleased with it. It drops lower than the one on my Shoei.It is more aerodynamic than my Shoei. I have a short windshield on my F800ST, so the wind hits me on my upper chest. I did not experience any issue when turning my head.I like the look of the helmet and it appears to be very well made.Small consThe pinlock lens that came with the helmet was scratched. It seemed to be a low-end lens. RevZilla addressed this issue for me (Great support from RevZilla). Hopefully it was just an isolated case and others will not have issues. It was surprising because everything else about the helmet was high quality.I have 2 pairs of glasses. The wider rim plastic glasses touched the top of the inner lining of the helmet. This produces pressure on my glasses. I switched to my wire frame glasses and had no issue with them. As stated above, I did have to remove the speaker foam insert to get my glasses between my ear and head.
This helmet is a piece of junk! I very much regret having purchased it. First of all, the ratcheting mechanism for the face shield is way too loose which results in the face shield closing on its own already at about 35 - 40 miles an hour. Secondly, the neck-roll is a PIA - every time I take the helmet off it detaches almost completely from the helmet. And, yes, I installed it according to the instructions. I just think the tabs that are supposed to keep the neck roll in place are garbage. Finally, one of those flimsy plastic pieces that are part of the face shield mechanism broke after just one month of usage. Looking at that piece I am not surprised it broke - it's way too fragile for real-life usage.I won't ever buy an HJC helmet again. It's garbage.
I've owned other HJC modulars and they always fit great. This one, too much pressure on my forehead and the helmet seems to put a lot of weight in this same area right above the eye brows. Figured I'd just order a size up interior, good luck finding that, can't seem to find where you can order another size interior. If you want to use another comm system, it will have to sit way back (I use a cardo system) because of the non accessible areas that work with the HJC comm system. Visor doesn't stay up as well as I would like. Air flow with all vents open is ok, I expected much better. The finish and look of the helmet is great. Also the locking mechanism for when the chinbar is up is great. For being carbon fiber I thought it would weigh a lot less as this helmet feels ...

Hey Revzilla and HJC, where are the different sized interiors?
I found this helmet to be true to size, and the finish, although limited to basic colors, to be good. The workmanship of the helmet seemed solid and thoughtful, so why don't I love it? Taking it out of the box I was immediately struck by the weight, I knew it was nearly a 4 pound lid, but the reality of that heft is impressive when handling it and even more impressive when worn. Most modern helmets have something of a curtain to bring the helmet close to the riders neck, presumably for noise reduction and the RPHA 91 is no exception, however the material is not very pliable making donning and doffing the helmet a bit of a chore unless the chin bar is open. The ear holes are shaped to fit an ear that would look something like an inverted Dr. Spock ear, mine sadly ...

The ear holes are shaped to fit an ear that would look something like an inverted Dr. Spock ear, mine sadly are more boring and shaped like most folks which had the lining cutting uncomfortably across the top of my ear. Ears will vary however. As others have noted, the visor does not close very tightly and the indents are somewhat weak, I did not road test the RPHA 91 so perhaps this is good enough? The lining on the interior brow of the helmet is lined very nicely with a soft material which transitions very abruptly along a sewn seam into a course, cheap feeling fabric, and the seam is very noticeable. I can not imagine how unpleasant that would feel after a day of 70 MPH wind blast moving my head about on the road. I watched an episode of Seinfeld wearing the RPHA 91 while my wife laughed at me and that was enough of that seam for me. My verdict is that this is an excellent helmet that would fight admirably in the $300-400 range, but in the mid fives it misses the mark.Sadly, the search for a new hat goes on as I returned this one and will continue to wear my old Shoei GT Air which Spock returned before I bought it, didn't like the ear holes.
After wearing Shoei helmets for decades, I decided to try a modular helmet again. I had a first generation NeoTec, but switched to the RF series helmets for lighter helmet and perceived better protection. This HJC modular had many more features than the current NeoTec and was $100 cheaper.First impressions are that the fit is true to size, vision is a wider view than the Shoei, as well as better air flow and much, much quieter. The only negative is pressure on my ears, causing discomfort with the custom ear plugs that I wear. After wearing for awhile to better fit the liner to the shape of my head, I'm hoping this pain goes away. If not, I'll switch to soft, moldable ear plugs.A significant added benefit is that I don't need to remove my hearing aids with this ...

Pulling a full face helmet down over my ears would always yank the aids out. Now, I can keep them on while running errands around town because of the large opening of this modular helmet's design.
I really liked this helmet until I didn't.This helmet is very comfortable, if a bit heavy, not too bad, but not light. The aerodynamics are great, especially with the face up! The way the face sits when lifted makes it fantastic as a sun visor, better than the beak on any other helmet I have. I returned the helmet under warranty when I couldn't operate the dark internal visor anymore. It would get glitchy from dust and I'd blow it out, but then one time no matter how much compressed air I blew through it, it wouldn't budge. Also the little things that holds the face up for open face certification disappeared while the face was up and it fell down on some bumps and made me do a faceplant because I couldn't see all of a sudden. I think maybe it wasn't for me, but ... MoreI really liked this helmet until I didn't.This helmet is very comfortable, if a bit heavy, not too bad, but not light.
