I lifted the chin bar on my RPHA Max and heard a pop followed by a piece of plastic falling to the floor. The pivot hinge failed as seen in this picture.
This picture shows the face shield and hinge off so the broken plastic piece can be seen where it was.
Replacement hinges are available for $10 per pair. My helmet is toast though unless super glue will hold the plastic piece back on the chin bar.
This weekend I rode with a friend who has the same helmet. I told him of my issue and showed him on his helmet where mine had broken. His was cracked from the top to the screw in the same location so close to failure like mine. Fortunately he only has a $10 repair.
