The HJC RPHA 72 is a premium full-face sport-touring motorcycle helmet engineered for riders who demand the perfect balance of lightweight protection, aerodynamic efficiency, and all-day comfort. Built as a significant evolution over the RPHA 71, the RPHA 72 introduces a redesigned shell, upgraded visor system, and refined ventilation layout. This listing is for the Solid Pearl White finish in size XL.
PIM EVO Composite Shell Construction
The RPHA 72 is built around HJC's advanced Premium Integrated Matrix EVO (PIM EVO) shell — a hybrid composite laminate incorporating carbon-aramid fibers, fiberglass, natural fibers, and organic non-woven fabrics. This multi-material construction delivers exceptional impact resistance while keeping overall weight to approximately 1,425–1,450 grams. The shell is offered in three distinct sizes with five EPS liner sizes, ensuring a proportional, compact fit across the full size range.
Wind Tunnel-Tested Aerodynamics
Developed in HJC's dedicated wind tunnel, the RPHA 72's shell geometry reduces aerodynamic drag by nearly 20% and lift by approximately 6–7% compared to previous sport-touring models. The result is improved high-speed stability and reduced rider fatigue during long-distance or aggressive touring rides.
Advanced Channeling Ventilation System (ACS)
The RPHA 72 features HJC's Advanced Channeling Ventilation System with 2 intake vents (chin and top) and 2 rear exhaust ports, delivering full front-to-back airflow that efficiently flushes heat and humidity from the helmet interior — keeping riders cool in a wide range of conditions.
