HJC RPHA 71 Helmet - MAPOS MC-21

The HJC RPHA 71 MAPOS MC-21 is a full-face sport-touring helmet constructed from HJC's Premium Integrated Matrix Plus (PIM Plus) shell — a multi-axial composite layup designed to provide a high strength-to-weight ratio across the helmet's shell sizes. The MAPOS MC-21 graphic delivers a distinctive colourway within the RPHA 71 range.

Aimed at sport and touring riders who prioritise ventilation, comfort on longer rides and current safety compliance, the RPHA 71 combines an integrated internal sun shield with a Pinlock-ready visor system and a removable, washable interior.

• PIM Plus (Premium Integrated Matrix Plus) multi-axial composite shell construction
• ECE 22.06 certified
• Integrated internal sun shield with dedicated deployment lever
• Pinlock-ready anti-scratch visor
• Removable and washable SilentFit interior liner and cheek pads
• Multi-density EPS impact liner
• Adjustable top and chin ventilation system
• MAPOS MC-21 graphic colourway

Clean the outer shell with a damp cloth and mild soap; never use petroleum-based solvents, petrol, paint thinners or abrasive cleaners, as these degrade both the shell finish and underlying composite material.
Remove the interior liner and cheek pads and hand-wash in cool water with mild detergent; allow to air-dry completely before refitting — do not use a tumble dryer or direct heat.
Clean the visor with a soft, damp microfibre cloth or visor-specific cleaner; never wipe a dry visor, as dust and grit will cause permanent scratching.
If fitted with a Pinlock insert, remove it for separate cleaning with warm water and a clean cloth; ensure it is fully reseated and locked before riding to prevent fogging.
Operate the internal sun shield only when your eyes are forward and your attention is on the road — do not flick it while cornering or at speed.
Inspect the retention system (chin strap and buckle mechanism) before each ride; replace immediately if the strap shows fraying, cuts or the buckle does not latch securely.
After any significant impact — regardless of visible damage — retire the helmet from use; the EPS liner absorbs energy by deforming internally and may be compromised without obvious external signs.
Store the helmet in a breathable textile bag away from direct sunlight, fuel vapour, exhaust fumes and chemical storage; UV exposure and solvents degrade the shell and EPS liner over time.
