Underneath the signature Sonic blue design is the standard ECE 22.05-approved design that promises maximum protection and optimized performance. The helmet features a PIM+ shell with various reinforcement materials such as carbon and carbon-glass hybrid fabric for reduced weight and improved shock resistance.
As with other RPHA performance models, the RPHA 11 Sonic also gets a larger eye port to enable better road visibility when assuming a tucked, aggressive riding stance. The helmet also gets rear reflective patches and an emergency-release cheek-pad system for added safety.
At least in the European market, this new helmet is available in various sizes ranging from XS to 2XL. It comes with an additional smoke visor and a pinlock insert. It goes for
€629.90, or about P36,000 in local currency. If this were to make its way to our shores, would you get one?
