With more and more riders getting into the world of sport touring motorcycles, the demand for a helmet that can perform in all riding conditions is also on a rise. HJC Helmets took notice of this and introduced their brand new 2018 HJC RPHA 90 modular helmet to fit into this particular segment.
Designed to perform just like a full-face lid in terms of dimensions, weight and appearance; the new RPHA 90 offers something a bit extra with its modular helmet functionality. Constructed from HJC’s Premium Integrated Matrix (P.I.M.+) shell material (which is the same as the RPHA 70 and RPHA 11), the RPHA 90 is said to be one of the strongest and lightest modular helmets to date thanks to its enhanced shock resistant performance and superior aerodynamics while maintaining comfort for riders.
To make sure that the glaring sun won’t get in your way while riding, HJC has included their all-new Sun Glide inner-sun visor system. Easily operated using an adjustable wire, the anti-fog plus anti-scratch visor which is now longer and wider offer superior sunlight eye protection.
There also the HJC Seal Secure shield system which will help keep water and dust out while dramatically reducing the noise for all sort of weather conditions. Combined with its noise cancelling interior material, riders can remain comfortable without affecting their focus on the road.
As for ventilation, new vents are strategically placed in high-pressure areas that’ll help to increase air circulation in the lid. A large top vent paired with another located near the mouth plus rear exhaust vents will help feed cool and crisp air to the rider’s head to keep it dry, cool and comfortable all day long.
Those who worry about installing their communication systems to the new HJC RPHA 90 should rest assured as the helmet has been integrated with a speaker pocket space plus ease of wire channelling thanks to its removable interior. Other features include:
