Until it rains. The end result is that it’s really a pretender. A 250 dollar helmet passing it self off as a worthy competitor to a shoei or and Arai that costs 25 to 50 percent more. The RPHA 11 is a pretty average helmet when it comes to noise. On the ZX-6R your head is generally in the wind when riding on the road, and there it’s not too bad. On the S1000XR the fairing introduces some turbulence that makes it a bit noisier, but in both cases it’s not really much better or worse than other sport lids. Basically, as with all helmets you do still need earplugs.

The two top vents are rollers, which are extremely easy to use and allow you to fine tune the opening if you wish. These give a very noticeable blast of air at two points on the forehead, thanks to the lining not covering the ports.

Another thing to bear in mind, is that a helmet in say size Medium from one Manufacturer may fit completely differently to a Medium from another Manufacturer. Therefore we would always recommend travelling to a dealer to try a number of different brands to get the perfect fit for your head shape. The standard version of the RHPA 11 – which has a carbon fibre / aramid / fibreglass construction so would, I’d expect, fare similarly – only achieved three stars of the five possible in SHARP testing, being let down in the side impact tests.
