HJC RPHA 12 or Shoei NXR2?
Two premium sport helmets with different philosophies. The HJC RPHA 12 bets on the PIM EVO carbon-aramid shell and very aggressive ventilation; the Shoei NXR2 answers with the most refined fit on the market, a slightly lower weight (~1,390 g) and impeccable finish. For maximum ventilation, RPHA 12; for comfort, quietness and lightness, NXR2. We have a full comparison on the blog.
Is HJC a good helmet brand?
Yes. HJC (Korea, 1971) is the world's highest-volume helmet maker and outfits MotoGP and Moto2 riders. Its RPHA range competes head-to-head with Shoei and Arai in the premium segment, but at a tighter price. For daily and road use it is a safe bet with ECE 22.06 homologation.
How much does an HJC helmet cost?
HJC covers every price point. In the 2027 range, the C92 modular starts at €169.90 and the i72 full-face at €219.90; the i71 modular sits around €200-300; the RPHA 71 sport-touring around €300-400; the sport RPHA 12 around €450-550; and the RPHA 1 race lid can top €700. Overall it is more affordable than Shoei or Arai at similar performance.
What size HJC helmet should I choose?
Measure your head circumference in cm at forehead height and check HJC's chart for each model. HJC sizing is European and fairly standard, with an intermediate-oval fit on most models. If you hesitate between two sizes, pick the tighter one without pressure points.
What is HJC Europe?
HJC Europe is the European arm of the Korean manufacturer, based in Reichstett, near Strasbourg (France). From there it distributes HJC helmets in Europe and runs the official European website and shop, hjchelmets.eu, which lists official euro prices.
Where to buy HJC helmets in Europe?
The official European website (hjchelmets.eu) shows the full catalogue, the shop and a dealer locator. In Spain, Motocard and FC-Moto usually stock much of the range with shipping and returns. As a high-volume brand, it is easy to find in almost any specialist shop.
What are the new HJC helmets for 2027?
The HJC 2027 range adds eight helmets: the RPHA 60 Carbon (from €569.90), F72 Carbon (from €429.90), F72 (from €319.90) and i72 (from €219.90) full-faces; the i101 (from €299.90, P/J dual approval) and C92 (from €169.90) modulars; the i41 open-face (from €129.90) and the Y50 youth off-road helmet (from €99.90).
