Shoei delivers the all-new RF-1400, their successor to the iconic RF-1200. Major updates include lighter weight, a refined head shape that keeps the intermediate oval shape of the 1200, better ventilation, and a fully flat CWR-F2 faceshield with vortex generators. It offers four shell sizes, a 3D Max-Dry System II liner, E.Q.R.S. (Emergency Quick-Release System), and Snell M2020/DOT certification.

Ahh. Thanks for this note. I went to the site and they're not there!
Do we know what this helmet will be called in Europe - RF-1200 used to be the NXR in the EU..
Hey I got my AGV K6 stolen and am looking for a new helmet. Do you think this is a better helmet than the K6? Or should I buy another K6?
Does anyone know if they this comes with the dark visor ? If not Can you buy separate for this helmet ?
$580? It's $720 on your website now.
I bought a Shoei RF1400 in the summer of 2022. In October 2022, I was hit hard and fast from behind on I-44 between Springfield and Joplin Missouri. The car hit me so fast and so hard... it came right up through the tailpipe, bending the middle of the frame upwards, throwing me skyward and sideways off the highway. I don't know if I was rendered unconscious or not, it happened so fast. I found myself lying a few feet into the grass off the shoulder. My lower body was broken pretty bad (three months later, and I'm just now transitioning from a wheelchair to a walker), but somehow my head and shoulders were not injured! This helmet took a number of impacts, as it had damage in two or three locations (front and back). Somehow, God blessed me that this helmet protected me... I'm writing this review for Shoei and placing it in a number of popular online locations to show my thanks for the RF-1400!
And thank you God!
Additionally, this helmet was super comfortable and fit my head snug as a bug in a rug!
(P.S. Don't ride your motorcycle on highways at night)
I e been hit from behind as well on the highway, 17:46 Definitely not fun. Broke 11 bones in that one.
For those of you considering purchasing an RF1400, I have been using this helmet for a couple months now and am 100% happy with it. I'm a huge fan of Spurgeon and all his videos but I personally think he overstated the center button for the visor release a bit. I recall watching this video before my purchase and his comments made me pause a bit. The button works fine and keep in mind as he opens the visor in the video he isn't wearing the helmet. With the helmet on you can feel the button while wearing gloves and once you try it a couple times you get the idea of why Shoei designed it the way they did. I say try one on for yourself and form your own opinion if you are that worried about it. Everything about this helmet is top notch in quality and I find it very comfortable due to the nice liner materials. I can't say that I have worn as many different helmets as Spurgeon so maybe the old visor design was easier, hard to say. The air flow seems very good, we had a stretch of 95 degree weather with high Midwestern humidity and the helmet did just fine as long as I was moving no different than any other part of my body. I tried HJC helmets at my local dealer and they all felt a little overstuffed in the padding department in comparison to the Shoei which seems to be just about right. I have worn sunglasses with mine and they work just fine and stay in place. These were hard to find when I bought mine, RevZilla was out of stock so I had to source mine from another dealer. Very happy with my purchase overall.
100% agree. Spurge your fired. 😂
Will it fit a round oval head shape?
Agree 💯
Those are great points. These helmets are still hard to come by especially certain visors. I bought my first RF1400 in the summer of 2021 ( black with white American flag on it ) and the selection was minimal due to supply issues. I just purchased my second one yesterday as I finally found one in matt black in a large. Although the smoke visors and the transition visors are on back order. Myself after using HJC helmets which were good the RF1400 fits like a glove when I put in on. I highly recommend the RF1400 helmets
I was able to source a transitions visor a couple months ago so it is possible but they are in very high demand. I basically checked multiple sources on a regular basis until I found one that would take my order. Even then it took a while to show up at my door. The visor is great and very high quality. It's a bit pricey but I'm happy with it. Takes an already very nice helmet up a notch.
I don't know why whenever I click Revzilla for a review I always think i am going to see Anthony.
Is he still around? Totally forgot about him till you mentioned it.
Do miss him and his reviews
@@MrTba198989 No he left revzilla or got promoted. Don't remeber exactly
Same, I didn't know anything owned revzilla
Maybe you want to see Anthony. ☺️
I’ve had icon , AGV , Sedici and now shoei. By far the best weather we’re talking quietness or airflow , and how comfortable. Won’t be changing out my shoei any time soon
I started off in the the RF-1100 and when I moved to the 1200, it was definitely a nice upgrade over it. It seems Shoei refined the helmet in bringing out the 1400 and I'll seriously consider giving it a shot when the weather warms up.
Thanks for a great review. Honestly felt like a review and not a sales pitch. Much appreciated!
I feel like every tyre they review is the best everything. Wet grip dry grip will last loads of miles high silaca bla bla bla.....
Outstanding look at another benchmark by Shoei ... thanks for a well constructed & honest look at this next gen bucket. Cheers!
Just put my Sena SMH-10 on my RF-1400, even put the ear covers back in over the speakers (minus the foam which I cut off, but the 4 tabs stay on the fabric to hold it back in). You can separate the hard foam lining slightly away from the shell and slip the clamp in and the wires in. And the speaker boom hops under the chin curtain, just right. The clamp and unit gets near the shield but misses it. No extra ear pinching and I'm so happy. It has a lot of features, even a lever to snug up on the faceshield when the seal gets baggy. Oh and the air openings each have a midway detent (setting).
Used it for 90 miles of mixed 30 deg F GS riding and 25 more on a 250EXC on dirt snow slushy roads. It really seals out the cold and the pinlock, my first, is awesome. Did touch the slushy gravel road with my helmet and faceshield that rec'd many scratches, so I've ordered a new $70 clear shield, helmet faired better than the shield, me and the bike are fine. Had to hose off my riding gear. When I got gas or stopped to use my phone, I didn't even crack the visor as I had no fog, despite 30 deg. WOW, so much warmer and moister (a good thing) inside the helmet when its cold. You have to remind yourself that it is still very cold for the tire traction though. The center latch comes open when you touch the lift area with a little bump, no problem. When you close the visor just short of the click (latch) you have the slightest ventilation, nice. Push for the click and now its sealed, and with your chin down slightly with zero fairing its relatively draft free, lift your chin the the full time open rear exhaust lets come air waft through.
Thanks guys, love your content and since I am taking a second to respond here I will just add that Revzilla has hands down THE BEST customer service of any company I order from including Amazon!
That said, glad I didn’t wait for the 1400 this summer when I needed a new lid. I wound up with the Shoei RS as it’s the same as the RF1200 with slightly better ventilation and supposedly reduced noise. I saved myself $100 and don’t care about noise reduction since I ride with shield up anyway. Looks like the 1400 wouldn’t have been worth waiting for especially for those of us who don’t like that push button release.
I really appreciate the details and organization of this review. I love my RF1200 and I bet I'll love a new RF1400.
I was disappointed about the difficulty using a clamp-on comm system.
owned only Shoei since 1994. Got my RF-1400 dedicated last year. Love it, I just need a cheek reduction.
I just bought one and its my first helmet. It’s really comfortable
Upgraded from a Scropinon 420, to a shoei 1400, and I love it!
Love my nxr, (1200). Super cumfy and easy full day riding. Retired my neotec2 as it's just to heavy these days. Headaches, neck aches, turbulence. Will wait a couple years for the 1400 I reckon
Love my RF-1200 helmets, but I look forward to trying the 1400. The shell sizing and extra protection are a definite plus, and the pricing seems more than fair.
As a winter rider I've never wanted a closed rear vent, always good to get moist air out of a helmet
Just bought one of these today can’t wait!
Those are great points. These helmets are still hard to come by especially certain visors. I bought my first RF1400 in the summer of 2021 ( black with white American flag on it ) and the selection was minimal due to supply issues.

Waiting for the red white and blue to come back in stock I love the design of them
This is my first shoei helmet and loving it so far. It’s so nice comfortable and quiet
How's the button visor release? It's the one thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on this helmet.
Really wish Shoei had offerings for us with round head shapes. Would love this as an option.
Just got new foam for my 1200. Will keep 2 or 3 years and get a 1400
Another nitpick is that the front logo is too high , but I'd take it anyways, It's a Shoei.
I wish I didn't have a logo at all.
After I got my MC endorsement I went in and asked "What's a good overall helmet? Not top of the line expensive but not cheap." The salesman immediately said the Shoei RF 1200. It was a bit pricey but after an hour of trying on helmets in the store I kept going back to it. It just fit perfectly and was so comfy. After it got stolen I went and bought...you guessed it, another RF 1200. I'm hope the 1400 truly does have better air flow as advertised (that was one of my complaints), is quieter, and retains the fit and comfort level. I'm a little skeptical about the visor lock mechanism. Looks fidgety.
I must've just got a good one, but I can say without question that the RF1400, at least the one I bought, is SIGNIFICANTLY quieter than my old RF1200. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah we compared it on a few different bikes with a few different riders, but rarely try touching on noise levels tbh. It has so much to do with variables we can’t consider for every rider (bike title, aero, windscreen, seated position, rider height, rider arm length, neck length etc) all factor into individual noise levels. But we are glad it lessened for you! Definitely a solid helmet from Shoei.
I LOVE this helmet. My other helmet is an LS2 Valiant 2 Modular. It's a great helmet but the Shoei RF 1400 is a step above in quality, fit and less weight. The center face shield release/lock is an improved design in ease and giving symmetrical forces into both left and right hinges. The solid click when it latches is darn right sexy! Something I thought I might miss was the drop down shade that my LS2 Valiant 2 has. But, my Oakley Polarized sunglasses fit perfect with no additional pressure and are an advantage in 2 ways... 1) they cover my entire visual field, not leaving the lower 10-20% unshaded and 2) my sunglasses are much better optics that give me a clearer, undistorted tinted view compared to the drop down shade. Hands down... the Shoei RF 1400 is an amazing helmet with some nice upgrades!
Which Oakley model do you guys wear?
Excellent review!!
I should have returned this RF 1400 helmet to Revzilla. My last new helmet was a Shoei X-11 and I loved everything about it but it was more then long in tooth. At home I tried out the new RF 1400, though a touch heavier then the X-11 it is very well balanced and you don't feel that weight. The center lock mechanism was different but figured it would not be difficult to retrain myself and it was easy.
All seemed good...until my first ride. What I neglected to check out at purchase time was the detent positions of the visor. The first two detent positions do NOT hold in place and the visor easily falls down to the closed position. The 3rd detent position does "lock" in place but the shield is now more then an inch open so you get a blast of air instead of just slightly cracking open the visor. You'll notice also that there is no small lever on the side of the visor to slightly crack it open so you have to depend entirely on the detent positions and as mentioned you can NOT just slightly crack open the visor because it will not hold in place on the first two detents.
Also, as others have mentioned the mechanism to attach & remove the visor is one of the worst I've ever encountered, Shoei went completely backwards when designing that. Otherwise a great helmet but the visor issues ruin it for me.
Good review. I would think that the front chin spoiler would cause more wind noise than the 1200.
Just picked one up. Love this helmet.
Was waiting for this upgrade for the last 2 years. I love the RF1200/NXR. Seeing the improvements I am glad that I stopped waiting and bought a bell race star DRX. lighter, better vision and for me more comfortable.
Lighter? How is it lighter?
My wife and son love their RF1200. Those improvements to the 1400 seem to make a great helmet design even better. If you are looking for a great helmet (ask yourself how much your melon is worth to you), you can't go wrong with a Shoei. I have an Aria due to it fits me better, but I did start off with an RF 200 (?) nearly 30 years ago...lol...that was a nice helmet as well.
These are excellent improvements. I like my RF-1200, and probably won't ever use a helmet without a full transitions shield. These all sound exactly like the little things I'd love to see improved on an already great helmet. The cheeks should keep the noise down a bit, too. I don't see the front button being an issue once you've had it a month, but who knows.
Does this have a transistions shield?? If not can you get one for it? How much?
@@jacobhendrickson8935 yes. I now use an RF-1400 with a transitions shield.
Fantastic review! Thanks a bunch!
Very good and sincere review thank you.
No wonder I couldn’t find any comparison reviews of Z7/8 helmets in English, turned out it’s called RF-12/1400 in America 😅 Great review by the way!
Great review as always. I like the changes to the venting and don't mind the small weight gain if it adds to the strength of the helmet. Hate the change to the centre opening visor. I have this on my HJC and find it fiddly. This one looks even worse than that. I would buy this helmet only after trying the visor opening mechanism with my gloves on. Can you get a transition visor for this model? These should be standard fit IMO. Otherwise the helmet looks like quality Shoei as usual.
Quietness isn't about subjectivity, if you have any indication of a tinnitus type ring in your ears after your ride then the helmet is not quiet. That's why I rock a Schuberth C3 Pro, I started with an HJC Rpha 10 and found after a few days of riding with it that my ears were ringing for 1-2 hours after each ride. The questions about noise aren't in the sense of asking how well a helmet does at preventing noise from entering the helmet but rather how well the helmet does at preventing that noise from damaging your hearing.
I understand the idea of an evolution vs revolution, however going up in weight and the other items they pointed out makes me glad I didn't wait for this new model and went with a lighter helmet from another brand. Maybe I will swing back to Shoei when the RF1500 rolls around
I believe the increased weight is because they needed more foam to meet the newer safety standards. Without changing the shell to carbon fibre (as shoei believe in AIM multi layer resin fibre) there is little else they can do.
Y’all should see this gorgeous blue it comes on. I bought the black one bc my ninja 400 is green. Y’all, this helmet is the real deal. The aerodynamics are what sets this helmet apart, even more so in Texas. Mine is size large. Also, Military gets a discount but mine was $541 or so with tax. You have one brain and you get what you pay for. Don’t skim on your helmet. Do it right and ride safely y’all.
Spurg lookin like a 1 out of 3 on the beard scale

excellent review/introduction to... great video.
Hey Revzilla, can you touch more on this shoei adaptor you mentioned regarding comms mounting?
This is a great helmet. And its my 1st helmet. I didn’t want to spend the money but i bought it was the only helmet that fit good when I tried them on. Im very happy with this helmet after 2 months of use in the warm and summer and rain. Its quiet and comfortable.
What color? Wondering if black gets too hot on those hot summer days. Or do the vents have you covered even in a black version?
@@unkle5009 i got black/orange and white. The vents help. But i also crack open the visor to the smallest opening, that really gets the air flow. There is no way to escape the heat in full face helmets on these hot days. But i rather be safe than sorry.
@@maxcannon3002 I agree. I got the grey and will try your visor tip. Thanks!
Love that anthracite gray!
Coming from a Bell DLX MIPS this 1400 is a huge upgrade.
Great detail! 👍
I tried one on at Cyclegear and I fell in love, but they only have matte black at the moment, it's not even on their website it's so new. I'm waiting for a gloss white before I pull the trigger. Upgrading from a Bell MX9 ADV
Good review. You left out two things. One, the RF1400 face shield has less curvature top to bottom supposedly to reduce distortion. Also, the RF1400 shield is trickier to remove. I've ridden an RF1200 for five years and just purchased an RF1400 but haven't yet used it. I hate the front shield lock. I have no patience for complications getting my shield open. Also, my Sena bluetooth fits easier on the RF1200. I may return it, but the RF1200's in my size are getting harder to find.
Man taking my rf1200 on and off was a damn pain, but damn it’s a dream when it’s on haha
you may have the wrong helmet shape, is your head oval, round or long oval, arai, makes some of each shape.. shoei is only ovals
@@galehess6676 yeah I switched it out for a larger one and it was a dream
@@Okami1995 An overly tight helmet is a special kind of ouch haha I went from a too large version, to a perfect fit, and it is snug but so nice. Glad you found something that works.
@@galehess6676 yeah no kidding right? It was weird though, it fit like a dream when I had it on but putting it on and taking it off was a struggle lol
Many thanks for the review :-)
Thinkin about upgrading from the 1200 jus for that color lol
Awesome work, thanks.
Nice review. I just got my RF-1400 but haven’t road tested it yet... I wonder if you don’t have to lock the visor down when riding around town. You have to push it to click it. My old Shoei has the clip thing on the left and i could lock or not lock it.
I also wonder if this pin lock visor screen comes with a tint for sunlight. Rather than buying a whole other tinted full visor. This is new to me as well.
I still prefer the 1200. All that is important too me seems better on the old model. Like room for coms, weight, no bulky airwents.
Yep seems like they just updated it cos they felt they had to. My only issues with mine is the small whistle when the visor is open and it hurts my ear after 4 or 5 hours but that's a personal issue.
Just what I needed
Just ordered one in white, Shoei needs to hurry up and release the dam tinted visor already. But the helmet is comfy as hell. Coming from a Biltwell Lane Splitter.
That center release looks like a deal breaker for me. What were they thinking? Glad they fixed the front vent. I’ve got 20k miles on my RF1200 and I still don’t know which way is open or closed unless I’m riding down the highway. I almost got another one, but upgraded to an X14. I’ll keep an eye out for the 1400, maybe I’ll upgrade to that when the time comes. I’m not as in love with my X14 as I was my 1200
Not overall a bad design but think that centered push to open will probably stop potienal buyers. I like my 1200 although my only pet peeve is the eye slot needs to be little bit wider like bell race star, but i use the shoei for in town riding, bell for twisties and eventually track.
I like that they brought back the Xxxl size for those of us with gigantic brains. Sadly the center lock and clamp for comms issue + no sunshade option is dissapointing.
Trying to upgrade from the RF1100. Any suggestions?
Absolutely going on my wish list. I am a fan of pin lock and chin curtain. Like the grey. I have a summer and winter helmet. My winter is a large in Black so I can wear thicker helmet liners. Hear in Southern California that Black helmet that looked so bad ass in January is murder in 100 degree summer heat. I have a medium light grey for summer. I could see this helmet for either but would have to try on with my Balaclava on. That's what makes buying certain items online tough. BTW I I am a fan of Revzilla.
Thanks for watching and the kind words.
Excellent points. Thank you.
Great 👍🏽 stuff! Have you done ✔️ any reviews for best retro/ neo helmets ⛑ on the market atm?
Just bought my RF-1200 on black Friday sale. Guess I'll wait 7 years for the next Black Fir. sale on this one!
Me too
ive wore the 1200 for years and its been a great helmet. I dont think youll be disappointed
Almost bought one too. Kinda regret not getting it however since I just bought an AGV K6 a few months earlier I'll wait a little while and see about getting the RF1200 or the 1400.
My RF-1200 already squeezes the crap out of my fat cheeks but everything everywhere else it fits perfect. I'm not sure I would like the new 1400 with even tighter cheek pads. But I do really like the new design of the air vents All the complaints you listed about the 1200 series air vents are exactly what I've complained about.
Have you tried to use thinner cheek pads? All of shoei’s cheek pads and crowns fit in all size helmets. Just check what size the current ones are and order the thinner size.
Keep in mind that with most Shoei helmets you can get a thinner cheek pad as a replacement unit. Might be worth looking into if your helmet never broke in enough for your liking.
I’m sold my arai fits my head badly returning it tomorrow lol
Did I miss the RF1300?? LOL 7 years of the RF1200... and this new helmet doesn't seem to be an upgrade.
Shoei skips the 13's because of all the superstitions about bad luck. They did the same from the X-12 to X-14.
Have you worn a RF1200? Hard to fix what ain't broke
@@enzobaldwin6121 weird though that a japanese company used the #4 though.
I love my 1400 absolute quality product
Interesting...honest review, and I felt that there wasn’t that much change either.
Nice motorcycle helmet but staying with my I purchased 2 years ago because I set it up with gadgets and till brand new got 5 year warranty on it!
I just bought one of these. I felt it was best helmet I was likely to possibly ever find available. Is it expensive? Yes I thought so but how expensive is your life? Not only that...these helmets look dope and when you own one you will notice how strongly built they are. Also look up the quality control these helmets go through. I heard anecdotally that 40% of their helmets are rejected by factory inspectors and the components are destroyed and recycled.
Molan - How is the wind noise while riding at highway speeds?
Things i could have fixed with the rf1200 were not addressed with the new rf1400 such a shame cause I love the helmet
Trying to decide between this and the bell star mips. Any recommendations on which to go for?
I have the older GT Air. Great helmet. What style of rider is the 1400 amed at? Cruiser, sports bike etc
Did they add anything to address rotational forces in a crash?
I've been a Shoei owner for a decade - RF1100s and 1200s. My #1 complaint is the US market graphics are garbage compared to the NXR (EU equivalen to RF1200). I've purchased quite a few from Chromeburner until recently, when Shoei brought the hammer down on US imports of NXRs to the US. I guess they don't want AWESOME graphics in the US? I'm currently riding with my NXR TALE TC-5, which I have never seen anywhere else on the road....... Here's to hoping the RF1400 design team has some good ideas for the upcoming years.
Bought this helmet recently. Measured in to a Medium multiple times. When i finally received it I struggled so hard to put it on and take it off but while having it on it felt snug and comfortable. Really hoping it breaks in properly.
Did it?
@@wacko1358 yup all good 👍🏽
I'm having that issue. The measurements say my tiny skull is perfect for the XS. I just got it yesterday, and since it comes stock with the 39mm cheekpads, the pads damn near prevent me from being able to put my head in and it damn near rips my ears off. Once its on, everything feels comfortable and snug except for those cheek pads which feel like a vice grip being tightened. Would going to a 35mm or 31mm pad be the play here?
I’d like to know more about the wind noise. My RF1200 is quiet except for the wind that travels my jaw line right up into my ear canal. I’d like to know if they’ve sealed that area with the new cheek pad design.
Looking forward to trying one on. Glad to see them use a center locking shield & reduce wind noise. My rf1200 shield has never fit tight against the seal even after tightening because of the side locking shield.
The 1200 is bad about that and the exact reason Shoei changed design in the 1400. I guarantee you this helmet is more quiet than the 1200 with the new upgrades. I'm not going to take someone's word for it that says, helmet noise doesn't bother him and doesn't ride with the chin curtain installed.👍
@@AzTurboMini That doesn't even make sense. Helmet noise doesn't bother someone? Helmet noise is the most atrocious thing ever created by the Universe. Air sucks. This review was nice, but I'm suspicious haha.
Good review as always, and I enjoyed how you danced around the center latch :) I love my RF-1200, but this looks like a sidegrade, with a major design flaw for many of us that much prefer the side latch.
The center latch is the main reason why I haven’t bought this helmet. I just feel like I’m gonna hate that part.
@@edgarg6559 I am new to latching visors. I've rode motorcycles for 25 years now and never had a latching visor full face helmet until last summer. I have a Sedici and I love it. But I think it latches in the center. What's wrong with a center latch?
@@edgarg6559 it’s awesome once you get used to it. (Only took me a few days)
On a related note, is HJC replacing the RPHA 90? It's discontinued at Revzilla and permanently out of stock except for the fancy variants. It was on my list for spring, wondering if there's a replacement coming?
I would love to have this in a liquid carbon wrap! 😍
Seems like the natural upgrade when the time comes from the 1100 in my closet and the 1200 on my head
I love my 1200. I just don't know how I feel about that visor release.
Agreed! I don't like it, but, they're such a great helmet I'll end up getting used to it. Unless of course I pick up another 1200 before they're unavailable just for good measure.
Rf 1400 vs x14 having a tough decision. Which is the quietest for loud exhaust and wind noise. Thanks
The RF1200 has been one of the loudest road noise helmets for me. As for street bikes, the visibility points are terrible for head down posture for crotch rockets.
when do the other visors become available been trying to buy one for so long now
they still use the PU finish on the bottom cheek pads.it tear after a year.just use fabric finish
My next helmet!
You should probably put a link to the sizing guide you mentioned either in the description or a card thing. It's awful difficult to try and search for......
If Sena has any brains they'll make a set of pads with a headset built into them for the RF1400
now thats a great idea !
How would you wash them?
@@seguetonowhere make it removable. only difference within the pads would be a recessed area where the system would velcro or snap into
@@seguetonowhere wash ? why would anyone wish to remove the masculine scent and colonies of Nitts from their Lid ?
Yeah but they dont just look at their head sets not even water proof nor water resistant ....
I bought the 1400 a few weeks ago, feels great. My only issue is with the chin curtain on, it sounds like the back windows of a car are open. Getting that resonating sound. Does anyone have a fix to this?
I do have a Shoei Ex Zero in XL but it is kinda big on my head. I used XL on my Bell Moto 3 and fits right. Should I down size at Large in a Shoei RF 1400? Thank you.
I love my RF1200. these are very minor changes which address some of the issue I have with the 1200 but I don't like the visor locking at the front, the 1200 was fine. And big chunky vents seem like a step backwards.
That front center visor latch is going to suck when youbhave an action camera mounted centered on the chin bar.
Is it good for hitting speeds like 180 to 220kmph !.. will it protect in case of crash at that's high speeds
i cant imagine helmet harder to get on and off harder than rf1200. but when its on, its awesone. i never want to take it off during shorter stops.
you may have the wrong helmet shape, is your head oval, round or long oval, arai, makes some of each shape.. shoei is only ovals
were those two different sizes when comparing the rf1400 and rf1200 on video?
I just bought on only for the Faust version which I think looks sick. I don't ride for long or often and only have an older Vulcan 900. Is this helmet a little overkill? I've been riding for 4 years on a $40 Fuel Helmet that's got to go lol.
Yay! Now I can afford the 1200 once the price drops
You’ll love the 1200.
That's what I just did 😄
Yep bought the 1200 today at the store, they discounted $100 off
You guys are lucky, I still use my 1000 lol
