I just picked one of these in matte black. I can't wait to do an unboxing video and ride review!
I have been using a cheap Torc modular helmet that is INCREDIBLY NOISY and the wind comes through in videos no matter what I did. WITH A DEAD CAT OVER THE MIC!!
The second I put this on at Cycle Gear, I was sold! Way lighter and snugs my head perfectly. It was more than I planned on spending, but you get what you pay for!
Husband and I got 1200s for the price of the SRs (we bought them at the dealer when getting our groms, so they gave us a deal.) Because the 1200 is lighter, that made it much more comfortable for me & my size S head. So just a tip for the ladies with smaller heads/slimmer necks: the lighter weight lid is worth extra $ to not feel like a bobble head.
That's awesome to get the RF-1200's for the price of the RF-SR's! However, I'd advise to choose either of those based on what you're riding. Sport bike / leaning forward stance, RF-1200. Upright like on a cruiser, naked bike, dual sport, adv etc, I'd recommend the RF-SR. Makes a huge different, since the RF-SR is made for upright riding, you don't have to look as far down to see instrumentation. Rode with the RF-1200 for awhile on my Harley and it was a pain to see my gauges for sure.
Sometimes I wear dirt bike gloves on the Grom too 🤪 ha! I hear ya though, I’ve just gotten into the habit of depending more on sound/feel than checking the gauges. Don’t really watch RPMs in my car either, shift by sound/feel. Being able to comfortably look around and turn my head was important for me, so I benefit more from the lighter weight than the viewpoint. We all different!!
Just bought this helmet yesterday. Only got about 100 miles in it but it is great. Super quite and being in Florida I can’t get this thing to fog up. I have had tons of helmets and I’m really impressed.
Nice, it's a great helmet for sure
Your right, once you put it on you’ll understand!
I am riding with the Shoei RF-SR and I love it. It’s in all of my videos.
i had a nolan n44 then a bell qualifier dlx and now a rf-sr and the shoei is by far the best helmet of the 3, wiring in my 20s was cake and it flowed so much better than the bell, like night and day better. youre gonna be a happy camper w that
That's awesome!
I have this helmet. Wasnt sure at 1st because of price. But OMG NOTHING COMPARES TO THIS HELMET for upright riding. So awesome I bought a 2nd one.
Nice!
Great review. Have had many helmets, Suomy, Bell, Shoei. The Shoei, believe it is an 1100 was my favorite. Been going back and forth between a new 1400 and this one. This video made my mind up! Thanks!
Ordered mine last week and got it on Friday. My god what a comfortable quiet helmet. Also bought the transition visor for it and it works very well.
Nice!
For them in the UK/Euro looking for this one it is called the Shoei RYD, thanks for the in depth first look, been looking at this one.
Cool, thanks for the info!
I may end up getting that helmet in the flat blue to match my blue bike. I have an RF-1200 which I love but I would prefer a helmet optimized for the upright position and the RF-SR is that helmet. It was extremely windy today and at higher speeds I had to tilt my head down so it wouldn't get batted around since I prefer no windscreen except on trips. It's also so much quieter in it's optimized position (tilted down). I should just pull the trigger now because I know it's inevitable.
Just purchased a Shoei RF-SR in matte blue. Love the helmet.
Love that color!
My bike is street and I have no plans on riding a sportsbike, maybe a cruiser at some point. Which one would you recommend, RF-SR or RF-1200 if prices were the same? The RF-1200 looks more expensive and seems to be of higher quality.
Man you got to do a food channel!! LOL!!! "Fast Food and the bikers that love it!" Even Ms Blockhead mentions food! Nice video review.
Definitely needs to happen! haha
Great helmet. Get it if you have the means. I love mine (got the matte blue one).
Nice video man, you should check out the shoei neotech 2 with the sena installed... been rocking that helmet most of the summer... it's been my favorite helmet
Bought one in the UK ; called Ryd, I got deal with the photo chromatic visor which is great. I love the helmet, my previous shark evo one was more expensive and noisy. So bad I now have permanent tinnitus. A word of advice, on highways wear good ear plugs, tinnitus sucks . Btw, the Matt grey matches iron 883 grey denim . Been following you since the start, great channel. 👍🇬🇧
Just wish they had more colors but 2 thumbs up for safety and comfort!
Thank You for going in depth on the review. I love the attention to detail !!
My pleasure!
Just picked up a matte Blue one. Looking forward to putting miles on it.
I'm new into the scene picking up a grom in couple weeks after reading these comments and seeing this video I think this will be my first helmet purchase. I've typically got a pretty good sized beard. Anyone else rocking this with a beard any issues?
I've got a beard, no issue, even with the chin curtain 👍
I just got into motorcycling and I am thinking about getting this helmet!
Great helmet to start out with!
Awesome unboxing video. You gave real useful information and have a good presentation. One question, how strong are the detent? Can you ride at highway speeds with the visor cracked?
Great lid been ride one for a few months now. Good vid!
Thanks Tony!
I love my 1200. And my 883!
It is the only brand of helmet that I wear that is super comfortable, shame because it ain't cheap ! Yeah i know . . . what's a brain worth etc but seriously !
Yes! Love this helmet!! Glad it’s being looked at it. Mmmmh Chick-fil-A
Should have gone with a Cookie Monster clip when you took out your chick-fil-a (or as us in Chicago referred to it until we started getting them chick-a-fil). Anyway I’m gonna be looking for a new kid next year. Going between the GT Air2 and the RFSR. Advice? I’m trying to give this motovlog thing a try. Thanks block
I need this now
It's the Shoei RYD in Europe, I'm doubting between this one and the RPHA 11, great review.
I just tried this helmet on at Cycle Gear and can't get how great it fit out of my mind! I am just trying to find the best deal now on a xxl in white..Yet I got a big bean! :/ I really like modular helmets but the $700 price for a quality Shoe version has me saying "full face I'm coming home..."
I love mine so much could wear it 24/7
Strangely this helmet did not feel as good to me as my RF1200 & Neotec. Yeah RF1200 they say for Sport Bikes but works fine on my CB1100/Goldwing, both upright riding positions. Good vid.
I normally prefer to wear a 1/2 helmet and recently replaced both of my 5 year old Skid Lidz with a G-Max G65 and an HJC-IS Cruiser II, each with a drop down visor. However, my new bike, Yamaha Eluder, the windshield is shorter and I'm getting bugs and debris over the top and still hitting me, as well as some buffeting. I'm starting to consider a full-face, but I also wear glasses. How comfortable is it around the temple if you have glasses on? The the "brow-ridge" rest on the glasses?
That chic fil a looked good lol
Oh it was. I kinda want it again after coming back and seeing this video now, haha
Dropping a like for the Chic-fil-a
Always wanted a Shoei helmet...thanks! 😎
I would love to have this helmet if n black size Large
They offer it in Black size L ;)
2 questions: Is the production date important for the life of the helmet? Where is it written in the helmet?
I love mine! Super comfortable.
It’s that about 5 helmets in 2 years? And that how many helmets have you had in the 2 years since?
Have you ever tried on a Scorpion? It has all the same features as that! Saved my face when I went down!
I have. Fitment wasn't the same at all. Can't comment on how it rode, but didn't feel as quality.
What’s up man. Thanks for the reviews. About to order this and get the transition shield too. Can I peel on the shoei logo on the forehead? I hate how they slap that on there all huge.
Shoei is still a shoei. I always like Shoei. 2nd choice is AGV
Thanks for the info
Yessir!
I’m buying this one just cause this video
Nice!
Still waiting on the RF1200 riding video 😂😂😂
I have the Shoei Qwest and I'm never buying anything but Shoei from now on. This helmet is the replacement for the now retired Qwest, correct?
when i was researching this helmet before i bought mine, everything pointed to it being the replacement and most reviewers stated that aswell
What size hat do you wear? You must have a big grape. XL?
Shad Rogers LOL a big grape! I’m dead 😂
Yup, XL grape! lol
What would you recommend for a grom?? That's going to be my starter bike since it seems fun as fuck. I was thinking of an icon variant but idk if it's worth it. What do you think? Pls help.
I would love to try one of these lol
How do u measure your head size???
Fabric or plastic tape measure 👍
Is this worth getting now or saving money for GT Air? Upright riding position.
Andrew Fennell I have been using the gt air for over 10000km great helmet. And the drop down visor is totally worth it. I ride a lot in autumn and winter as well. Lighting conditions can change vastly here in Germany during those seasons, so with that drop down you don't need to Carry an extra visor
Bo Ismono ya I live in Southern California. Just wondering if this is a good buy or spend the extra $150+ on the Air.
I have the qwest. This helmet sucks compared to what it is supposedly replacing.
Hey BLOCK just a quick question if you can. Did your 883 engine ever sound unusually loud? Like almost a slapping sound or loud clicks? Any help is apprieated from anyone.
Not that I recall. If you don't have an exhaust on it, it does have some clicks. If you're worried about it, best to take it in and have a tech look at it.
Has to be the exhaust, took it and got a safety check done on it and they said it was fine, plus it only has 2000 miles on it. Thanks for answering brotha. 🤙🏼
Somebody likes harbor freight.
Yessir! Love that store, haha
Second... thanks block for your videos.
Thank you!
did you eat the box ???? lol jk
400 dollars. Gawd Damn. My 100 dollar helment saved my life just fine.
The Wolf Im Canadian. These are going for $550/600 up here!
Kelly F Me too! The struggle is real
worth every penny
Quality costs. Once you wear one, you'll understand why! 👍
3rd. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Great now I can smell cigarette breath
I'd like to see some helmets WITHOUT the D-ring. It'd be nice to have a helmet you can wear gloves, and still be able to take it off and put back on.
Try this thing out, I use it on all my helmets. It's awesome - amzn.to/2McEYzk
