HJC rolls out new Fabio Quartararo Snow Diablo replica
HJC has revealed a new Fabio Quartararo-inspired design aboard its flagship race helmet, the RPHA 1 V2 Carbon.
HJC has just rolled out a new Fabio Quartararo-inspired helmet design, which the 2021 world champion debuted during winter testing in 2024.
The new Snow Diablo design is now found on the company’s RPHA 1 V2 Carbon lid, which is homologated to FIM FRHPhe–02 standards for the highest level of racing. The RPHA 1 V2 Carbon also meets DOT and ECE 22.06 standards.
HJC says “the Snow Diablo design has been released on the RPHA 1 V2 Carbon base, not the standard RPHA 1 shell used during the test.” The reason for using the carbon base is to allow the carbon weave to better highlight the material’s premium finish.
Quartararo used the Snow Diablo helmet during testing in Qatar, before reverting back to his traditional red Diablo graphic for the start of the 2024 season.
The new helmet is priced at €999 (around £879), giving it the same price as the Quartararo Le Mans III lid.
As well as being homologated for use in MotoGP, the RPHA 1 V2’s shell has been designed using dedicated feedback from MotoGP riders.
It also makes use of HJC’s Advanced Channeling Ventilation System (ACS), which gives it a total of five intakes and four exhaust ports. Additionally, full front-to-back airflow helps flush out heat and humidity.
The new helmet will be available in sizes ranging from XS to XXL, while maintaining “a compact profile and a race-level fit across a wide range of riders”, according to the South Korean brand.
More information about the helmet can be found on the official HJC website.
