Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Very aerodynamic, literally no drag
Cons: Kinda noisy for a high end helmet
Was in the market for a modular after I trashed my Nolan N-102. Have had various Arai's and Nolan's in the past. Was very intrigued by the low weight since I was eyeing the N-43E.Decided to try this wind-tunnel tested composite helmet and am absolutely thrilled by it. The weight or lack thereof and the shape make it such that riding in high wind situations are barely noticeable except for the noise. Will buy another in an instant if I had to.
HJC RPHA-MAX Helmets - sammiet SC
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Quiet, lite, ease or opperations and works well with glasses.
Cons: none
Pick this helmet up at open house Saturday and finally got chance to go for a ride Monday. The helmet preformed well. Here in SC we had a very windy day that was a really good test for the helmet. Not only met but exceeded my expectations.
HJC RPHA-MAX Helmet - tomkat100 AR
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Lightweight compared to my Arai. This is my 1st modular and I must say I really like the convenience of flipping it open to eat, drink, etc. The flip-down inner tinted shield is nice when riding into the sun. So far, no serious complaints about this helmet
Cons: So far, none.
This helmet was recommended by a friend. I've been reluctant to buy a helmet without 1st trying it on, but the measuring guide and the helmet shape have resulted in an excellent fit.
RPHA Max-to the Max - Bagger Dragger AZ
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Very light, Lots of features, Comfy, Great ventilation, Easy to use features
Cons: The big raised R in the center looks dorky
I thought for sure I was going to buy the Shoei Neotec because nobody around wear I live had the RPHA Max yet. I am soooooo happy I waited for the IMS show so I could try both helmets on back to back. Compaired to the Shoei Neotec the RPHA Max feels WAY lighter. The RPHA seems to carry what little weight it has very low where as the Shoei felt very top heavy for being so light. The retractable inner sun screen doesn't hit my nose when it's down. Everything works very intuitively.Fits very true to size. My XL fits like it should although the cheek pads are just a smidge snug but that's no big deal. I get no buffeting with this helmet either. I am very impressed.Competition Accessories price and costumer service made it even better
Great Modular Helmet - Mark
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Light weight, great ventilation, pinlock
Cons: Fit is small, d-ring has sharp edges.
Bought this helmet after reading several articles and on-line reviews. It replaced a modular Zox Genessis. I ordered the same size in the RPHA-MAX as the Zox and was surprised to find that the HJC fit considerably tighter than the Zox. Al lot of that is due to the thicker and more comfortable liners and padding in the HJC. Now, after a couple of months of riding the helmet has broken in and shaped itself to my head and is very comfortable. Love the light weight and the fog free operation that comes with the included pinlock system. Also, the ventilation is better than any helmet I have worn. You can really feel the air moving. The sun shield works great and I really like the sliding operation of it on the back of the helmet. The helmet is quiet for a modular and being able to ride with the face shield closed because of the pinlock is another plus. I would prefer a snap closure for the strap but that is mostly a matter of personal choice and the double d-ring closure works fine. The edges of the rings are a little sharp, but nothing that can't be tolerated. All in all, this is a great modular helmet and I consider it one of the best purchases I have ever made to enhance the safety and comfort of my ride.
HJC RPHA - Paul
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Light weight, ventilation, noise level
Cons: D ring hard to fatsen
I have tried several modular helmets in the past as I have a problem with fitment. Nolan 102, HJC Sys Max 2, Shoei Neotec, Nolan Trilogy. This is the lightest modular helmet I have owned or tied on. The top ventilation actually works. This is the first helmet I have actually been able to feel air flowing through with the top ventilation open. The helmet is quiet for a modular, I haven't tried it with the chin dam in, but should be even better. With the face shield up and visor closed, the buffeting was minimal on my touring bike at speed, may be different without a windshield. With the face shield down it does snug the cheeks up tighter than when worn open. The tinted sun visor seems to come down lower than in some past HJC helmets which was always one of my complaints. My only complaint is that with the cheek padding and d-ring location, it is hard to get at the D ring to fasten the chin strap. Bottom line much nicer than the SYS MAX and although not as plush as the Shoei Neotec, it is much lighter and a far better value.
I like the helmet - Jeff MO
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Good fit, the quality is there, finish, etc. quality helmet. Good ventilation also
Cons: Not as quiet as I'd hoped. I'd say its quieter than my old Shoei. multitec, but that's not saying much
Happy with the helmet. I was going to go with a Nolan, but I couldn't use my Scala Rider, I'm glad I went with the RPHA Max. Another big plus is the weight. Considerable lighter than my old Shoei.Also seems more aerodynamic. Looking over my shoulders is much easier. Overall, I'm very happy. I leave for 8,700 mile trip to Alaska in a few days.. If I change my mind about this helmet over the next few weeks, I'll come back and edit this.. Good deal from Competition Accessories also.. Got here pretty quickly also.
Not perfect but a quality product - HJC- rpha-max helmet CO
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Great finish, quality interior
Cons: a little hot, not as quiet as hoped
First of all, I was very disappointed with a whistling from the left side of the helmet. After some frustration and taping the side of the helmet, I realized that the left side pin for the fog shield was missing. There was an extra in the packet, when replaced it was much better. Watch for that. Once fixed the helmet was high quality and comfortable. It was not as quiet as hoped for but considering the mini-windshield on my BMW GS800 it was OK. Also a little hot on an 85 degree day, might not be the best for hot climates. Even given the comments above, I was very impressed with the quality of the finish and interior. I love the ability on a hybrid helmet to take a drink without removing the helmet. I have a big head my wife agrees so I purchased an XXL which fit great. Overall, I rate the helmet as a 4 and recommend it.
HJC RPHA max - John Woodworth KS
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Light weight very well made high quality
Cons: Size, chin guard and rider com interface
I ride a cruieser but I take my safety very seriously. My current helmet was a lower end HJC IS MAX wich was a good helmet but heavy and no where near the quality of the RPHA Max.The Good Light weight as the manufacture and numerous reviews have claimed. Very well made you can really see that the quality and function of this helmet is right up there with other high end helmets. The price from Comp Acc. was a huge factor in my purchase. This is alot of helmet for the buck. The pin lock sheild is another great value, and if you've not tried one they work very well.The not so good My only real grip about this helmet is the fact that HJC nust have thought that no one would want to add a communiction system to this helmet. I ordered a second Scala G9 set up with this helmet and every aspect of the instalation was a real pain. The biggest issue was instaling the ear speakers. Next the mike boom has to be just right in order to close the chin bar. The rest of my dislikes are more a personal thing than an issue with the helmet. If you wear glasses then you may experience fogging due to the breath guard and chin curtian. These are part of what quit the noise in the helmet. Bot can be taken out so all is well. Fit and sizing This helmet fits more like a full face helmet which is good. If you have no riden with a close fitting helmet it will feel strage at first. OK one last issue. I wish helmet companies would not change the shapes of their helmets. My old modulat was a rounder helmet and I had to buy a2xl buy the tape measurement I should wear a large, so I took an chance an ordered a XL . The RPHA Max fits TOTALLY different than my IS MAX helmet. Sevice and shipping and price where awsome from Comp Acc. I would and have started ordering as much as I can from these folks. I would recomend this helmet to anyone seeking a higher end modular helmet.
HJC RPHA-MAX Helmet - svmax
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Light weight, fit, no buffeting, internal sunshield.
Cons: NOISE, sun shield fully extended
I ride a naked SV650, and finally had the chance to ride with my new HJC RPHA-MAX Helmet .The light weight, great fit and lack of buffeting at any speed was a pleasure. I'd read and view many reviews prior to purchase that indicated this helmet was very quiet. Unfortunately for me I did not find this to be the case. At any speed above 40 mph this helmet is noisy and the noise increases dramatically as the speed increases. Earplugs will definitely be required when riding with this helmet.The internal sun shield is very convenient and even clears my glasses when extended. But, if fully extended second locked down position, there is a gap between helmet and shield across the top that is about 116 of and inch that will let the sun shine in. With the shield at its first locked down position the gap at the bottom is between an 18 and 14 inch but is more bearable than being at the top.

Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: very light, quiet and comfortable
Cons: will not work if you wear glasses
top of eye slot pushes down on my glasses if helmet is correctly seated on head. I can rotate helmet up a little, but then the ear holes don't line up.
