Perfect for standard intermediate head profiles.

Designed for touring with a slightly larger internal volume to accommodate high cheekbones and longer faces; features an extended rear shell for better neck coverage.

How to measure

Wrap a cloth measuring tape around your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Pull the tape comfortably snug, read the length, and repeat for consistency.

Engineering & Biomechanical Safety Analysis

Features Premium Integrated Matrix (P.I.M. Plus) carbon and carbon-glass hybrid fabric shell structure paired with RapidFire II visor replacement system with 2D flat race shield and dual locking mechanism. The interior utilizes ACS Advanced Channeling Ventilation System with Multicool anti-bacterial temperature-regulating interior with pre-shaped speaker cutouts for seamless Bluetooth comms integration.

The RPHA 71 is engineered as a high-integrity Touring protective system, utilizing a structural shell constructed from PIM Evo. This structural layup is engineered to provide progressive kinetic energy dissipation during impact deceleration, distributing localized shock across outer lamina layers while minimizing deformation transfer into the internal multi-density EPS liner.

Certified to DOT, ECE 22.06 protocols, the architecture is subjected to rigorous linear deceleration limits and oblique impact evaluations to mitigate rotational acceleration forces associated with diffuse axonal injury. For a deeper breakdown of rotational thresholds and impact testing speeds, consult our ECE 22.06 vs DOT vs SNELL engineering benchmark.

Internal geometry follows a Intermediate Oval cranial profile, designed to mitigate focal pressure hot spots across the parietal ridges while maintaining uniform radial clamping pressure along the zygomatic arch. Riders seeking optimal retention stability and break-in guidance should review the cranial aspect ratios and head shape guide as well as our 3D cheek pad density protocol.

Shell composite integrity and acoustic sealing are further optimized through channelized EPS porting and aerodynamic laminar profiling. To learn how shell composites resist stress cracking under prolonged environmental cycling, inspect the composite material comparative matrix.
