RidersDiscount Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Jorge Lorenzo is back as the defending MotoGP champion, and he’s doing it with a new lid from HJC. The HJC RPHA-10 is a helmet that was designed to provide a high level of performance at a light weight. Amazingly, it does both of these at a very reasonable price as well. The shell of the RPHA-10 is an advanced composite that combines carbon fiber, fiberglass epoxy, aramid epoxy and organic fibers in a precisely aligned weave that excels in strength, energy absorption and weight savings. HJC calls this their Performance Integrated Matrix (P.I.M.) construction and it saves weight by reducing unnecessary overlap and resin build-up. The PIM shell is not only strong and light, but it is also aerodynamic and quiet thanks to extensive CAD design and wind-tunnel testing.A hot helmet is an uncomfortable helmet, so HJC made sure that the RPHA-10 is able to keep your head cool and comfortable in warm weather. Ventilation comes from two large intakes on the top of the head, and one on the chin. All three are highly adjustable to allow for variable amounts of airflow depending on the conditions. These vents move a lot of air through the helmet without the higher noise levels that can come from some ventilation systems. Inside the shell, the full-removable/washable SilverCool liner helps wick away moisture and features a Gingko extract coating for a natural anti-bacterial guard.All RPHA-10 helmets come with HJC’s newest HJ-20 Pinlock shield and insert for the best in fog prevention. These shields also feature an easy to use center locking mechanism that prevents the shield from accidentally popping open if you turn your head to look behind you or to the sides.

RidersDiscount Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 The neckroll of the HJC RPHA-10 Lorenzo Monster features Jorge Lorenzo’s championship logo, which is a combination of the number one plate and his initials. The four stars represent his four world championships - two in 250 and two in MotoGP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
