The HJC RPHA 72 is a premium full-face sport-touring motorcycle helmet engineered for riders who demand aerodynamic performance, lightweight comfort, and advanced safety on every ride. This Value MC-5 colorway features HJC's signature blue and white graphic in a size 2XL, built on HJC's latest RPHA platform evolution.
At its core, the RPHA 72 features the Premium Integrated Matrix (PIM) EVO composite shell — a high-performance blend of fiberglass, carbon, and aramid layers infused with epoxy resin. This advanced construction, available in three shell sizes, keeps the helmet compact and well-proportioned across all head sizes while delivering serious impact resistance at a low weight. In size M, the RPHA 72 weighs just 1,429 grams, placing it among the lightest helmets in the sport-touring category.
Key Features:
- PIM EVO Composite Shell: Lightweight, multi-material construction borrowed from aerospace and motorsport applications for maximum strength-to-weight performance
- Advanced Channeling Ventilation System: Chin intake, top intake, and rear exhaust vents work together with internal EPS air channels for front-to-back airflow, flushing heat and humidity efficiently
- Pinlock-Ready HJ-48 Visor: Wide field of view with 99% UV protection, anti-scratch coating, and smooth ratchet mechanism; Pinlock insert included
