'EL DIABLO' SIGNS WITH HJC
2021 MotoGP World Champion Fabio Quartararo has joined the number one helmet manufacturer in the world as he moves forward in his already extraordinary career.
The 23-year-old racer from Nice, France, has earned 11 wins and 28 total podiums in the MotoGP class since his debut in 2019, and the first French champion in premier class history has signed an exclusive deal to wear HJC's flagship racing helmet, the FIM-homologated RPHA 1, when he lines up on the grid in 2023 to begin his fight to regain the MotoGP title.
HJC's new RPHA 1 is not like any other helmet in production today.
It is NOT designed with the road rider in mind, it does NOT have all the niceties of a road helmet, it is NOT for pottering.
RPHA 1 is the product of several years of development at the highest level of racing and its purpose is to optimise the performance of world class athletes on the world's top race circuits.
The big surprise is that HJC decided to produce RPHA 1 in large enough volumes to make it available to normal riders.
What you find in the box is the very same helmet used by HJC's world-class athletes in both Moto GP and World Superbike, complete with:
- FIM homologation
- Transparent racing spoiler (optional self-fit)
- Pinlock 120 (highest grade anti-fog)
- Tear-off films
- Dual locking tool-less visor for high speed use
- Emergency release cheek pads, interchangeable through sizes 2XS-2XL
Of course there are countless extra features which make RPHA 1 perform, from its SilverCool lining to its wind-tunnel developed aero and ventilation.
But the proposition is as simple as it is uncompromising; take it or leave it, it's a full-on race helmet.
