HJC’s all over the place nowadays, and I mean that in a good way. From the more budget-friendly lids to the premium RPHA series, there’s something for pretty much anyone. Whether you want to spend a bit of cash or a lot of it, there’s probably an HJC lid for you somewhere in the lineup.
My experience with the brand can be traced all the way back to the HJC i10, an entry-level Snell-rated helmet that started my journey with Hong Jin Crown (HJC). I was so impressed with the brand that I just kept upgrading from there. I went through an RPHA 11 which served me extremely well. I could have just stuck to the ‘11’ all the way, but everything changed when HJC announced that they will be introducing an FIM-homologated lid, the RPHA 1N, also known as just the RPHA 1 in other countries.
