@austinblevins6804 anything that was glued or meant to open/close is coming apart on mine. Silver visor scratched like crazy, and theres a SUPER annoying rattle noise if i turn my head a little. Road noise and build quality resembles a 250 dollar helmet.
I have 3 rurocs, but won't buy another. love the looks and style, but not worth it IMO. Reasons - Helmets are still noisy, want to lift at high speeds. Customer service left me hanging, indeterminate time between order and ship, The Liners are a constant aggravation, and honestly, just heavy for what it is.. Went to a Simpson Ghost bandit carbon fiber, and while they are not as cool looking, I have been enjoying every minute. Love the BlockFam, respect to all, but not going to drink the ruroc flavored cool-aid.
I had the 4.0 street king, look awesome but thats where it ends. The clips for the cheek pads broke within the first few weeks, chin curtain kept falling out found it very noisy even compared to a budget HJC helmet You could see the inner shell with the visor up, which would also move/squeak The vinyl/graphics started lifting in places Couldnt ride with the visor up as it would whistle like crazy My friend had a nightmare trying to get a refund or exchange which took a while so i decided to live with it and see how it went long term. I ended up selling it for a fraction of the £500 i paid 😣 I had them reach out a few days ago offering a discount on the 4.0 track but i just cant do it. Such a bad experience which is a shame as the design is cool. I cant even say you get what you pay for as there are so many better quality helmets out the for alot less money Ended up buying a Arai Quantic Dark Citizen which is around the same price of the 4.0 track but you get Better comfort, better quality and you can feel its going to last alot longer
Cool helmets, would love to try one someday, but just did a weight comparison to my Bell qualifier. It's not far off from even the lightest track version. Bell is 3.3 pounds, Track is 3.197 pounds (1450g)
That track version....I came close to purchase, but stories and reviews had me running for the hills. Sad because that's the best looking lid out there IMO. Hopefully they'll step up in a few years.
I have this helmet in the core carbon it sucks, looks cool aesthetically. But overall build quality/comfort sucks and is definitely not worth a 650$ price point. My first helmet (sedici strada II) was far more comfortable and quieter and it was 379$
If you buy an Atlas 4.0 CARBON, and find the cheekpads enormous and crushing your face. Order the 4.0 STREET cheekpads of the next size up. Still a good fit, but your face isn't being squeezed like a tube of toothpaste.
I’d like to come by and try one out for sure. I’m due for an upgrade. Been hesitant to commit to buying one as no one I ride with has one. I’d gladly be the first..
@@bmagada It's not that . Shockwave can only talk to another Shockwave within 3'. The location sucks, especially when you have on a heavy jacket and thick gloves. Tell me you can easily control the buttons at 70mph?
I’d like to see that color way in the carbon series of helmets I love the look of that gold with the carbon but I don’t ride track so I really don’t want to have to spend the extra money for the “track” helmet
are those side vent block off plastic pieces on the track edition available for the regular 4.0? Everyone says the 4.0 is nice but still a loud-ish helmet.
I wear a 4.0. When people say its loud they mean its not Shoei quiet. My previous helmets, an icon and scorpion were both louder. Honestly as soon as the visor is down theres a little wind noise, but loud is excessive as a description.
@@bmagada i figured as much... I'm the typical simpson wearer... they're comfortable, but loud on the highway. Ear plugs required for long trips. I've heard the same comment about all the ruroc 1-4.0... the black friday sale has me tempted
Sick looking helmet. I'm on the hunt for a new lid so will be considering ruroc, shame we pay so much for them in New Zealand but I guess you get what you pay for. Keep the mint vids coming
For those not in the know. Ruroc is a low brow brand helmet maker. I love this channel but the Ruroc association still being plugged on here is embarrassing.
That black and gold helmet is sexy!! Would suit my bike perfectly (a dyna low rider s, black and gold) Pity there’s no distributors near me in Australia where I could try one on
I've only bought one helmet in 30 yrs online. I wore it but damn it didn't fit me right at all. Looked awesome but felt like dammit! Won't buy one unless I can put it on first. Current is Simpson Speed Bandit and fits my pumpkin head perfectly. I've been interested in Ruroc since Blockhead did your first video on them. Hope they put a few more distributors out there so more people can try them on and get to feel it before they buy.
Hi,👋, BlockHead , your helmet ⛑️ 😂 looks 👀 amazing, 😂😂😂, I did see some people passing comment about the cost of them, I think there are on par with most other helmets, Just don’t rub it too hard as you know what happens, 😂, 😮, I have used Roof Boxxer helmets since the mid 90s , the reason for wearing the Roof Helmet, is that the chin guard can be lifted up, to give you an open face effect, I’m hoping to purchase another bike in the not too distant future , and I might be buying a new helmet, the black and gold looks very nice, and I don’t think 5 to €600 or dollars is much to pay for safety, when I was in my late teens I had a serious accident doing just over 100 miles an hour, and there wasn’t much left of my crush helmet, ride safe ride free, Phil from the moulin France.
It be sick for Ruroc and Blockhead to have those helmet there as a 1st view, fit and sell point. Hope it get's through! It so deserved for both parties. Helmets look good for sure!
I am a new rider and I just bought one of these and have been told by some of my friends who ride that they are not good is this true. There seems to be a bug issue with quality apparently
Whenever I explain a pinlock to people that don’t know about them I tell them it’s essentially making your visor double-paned. I’ll never wear a full face without a pinlock….. Ruroc helmets Fn RAD! Really wish they’d offer a modular version
Last summer my best friend just had to have a Ruroc and despite telling him to never ever buy a Ruroc helmet, he did it anyway. It arrived and looked good (graphic wise) but it was rife with problems. The gasket around the eye port was already coming up and you could see this slap-ass glue job under it. The cheek pads were so thick that it caused him pain putting the thing on and it also had stitching coming undone on the L side. He tried taking out the liner to fix it and it two plastic snap pins broke off rendering the liner useless. 😂. Anyone reading this… DONT BUY RUROC. BlockHead should be embarrassed.
I swear when any of these helmet videos come up its a countdown to seeing a guy who heard from another guy about how theyre trash. Sometimes the internet motorcycle community is ridiculous with its 12th hand knowledge. I mean like the last video with everyone crying theyre unsafe, but never heard of anyone dying of head trauma while wearing one. Half of those people dont even wear helmets all the time.
I love how RUROC takes its customer feedback and adjusts their helmets based on that feedback as quickly as they do. Really itching to pull the trigger on that track helmet.
sort of.. they still leave you "the person who already bought one and has a problem" hanging.... which may or may not be fixed in a new generation you'll have to buy again. they do look great.
This is the way! 😅
This is the way.
ill never waste my money on another Ruroc again. Cool looking helmets for sure, they are great at marketing I'll give em that.
Why?

Whaaaa???? Zuko AND Archie??? Oh, hells yeah!
Also, really want to try a Ruroc. My current helmet is wind loud. Hopefully it will fit me well
Just a couple guys hanging out. Hell yeah Brother. 👨🏻
Good damn…that black/gold track helmet is DOPE!!
I'm really digging this new update on the lid 🔥
Cool helmets, would love to try one someday, but just did a weight comparison to my Bell qualifier. It's not far off from even the lightest track version. Bell is 3.3 pounds, Track is 3.197 pounds (1450g)
I loved my 2.0 helmet when it's been awhile since I wore a full face helmet I need to start again
Good to hear you're going to have some in the shop for people to physically check them out, without needing an international flight lol
No need. They suck
That track version....I came close to purchase, but stories and reviews had me running for the hills. Sad because that's the best looking lid out there IMO. Hopefully they'll step up in a few years.

Omg the gold and black is a real head turner,that has to be the sexiest helmet ever. ❤️❤️❤️
I kinda want the Mandalorian helmet, tbh......
Me too!!! 👍🏻
I like them but need to try them on and see if I can put my glasses on
I wear mine with the helmet and its not a pain, but its obviously not fit for them either.
I’d like to come by and try one out for sure. I’m due for an upgrade. Been hesitant to commit to buying one as no one I ride with has one. I’d gladly be the first..
looks like your head is as round as mine is so it looks like a super nice helment
As soon as they make a modular stormtrooper helmet I'm getting one.
OH!........................the Shockwave really sucks.
Either upgrade it to Sena or Cardio specs and ease of use, or dump it.
both of mine work fine. Loud with no connection or battery issues.
@@bmagada It's not that . Shockwave can only talk to another Shockwave within 3'. The location sucks, especially when you have on a heavy jacket and thick gloves. Tell me you can easily control the buttons at 70mph?
That gold is shiny!!! ✨ that’s is sick
Another episode of Archie and Blockhead! Love it! Helmet looks badass.
Always a good time!

Ruroc helmets are cool, but dang they go out of stock fast. All the Star Wars ones are only sm and med. I wish they had a "in stock notification".
Sick looking helmet. I'm on the hunt for a new lid so will be considering ruroc, shame we pay so much for them in New Zealand but I guess you get what you pay for. Keep the mint vids coming
Avoid them. Google the company, all bad reviews. They pay guys like this to pump up their poor product
For those not in the know. Ruroc is a low brow brand helmet maker. I love this channel but the Ruroc association still being plugged on here is embarrassing.

Dat track helmet dooeeeeee 👀
I would like to see them in 3x. Most 2x does not fit and even my scorpion at950 3x is a little too tight
Does anyone has experience with how this compares to AVG K3 for example?
Why the ruroc helmet . The xl and the xxl is the same ???

I want this same helmet . IN BLACK AND ORANGE. WITH ORANGE VISORS
Shit i need that boba fett helm
It be sick for Ruroc and Blockhead to have those helmet there as a 1st view, fit and sell point. Hope it get's through! It so deserved for both parties. Helmets look good for sure!
Tell them to go one more size up please!!!!
Look nice, but they're subpar helmets that are way over priced for what they are ....
They have brand new 4.0s on the site that are literally 260 dollars for black friday sales. Also how are they subpar?
@@bmagada It’s Star Wars (Disney) branded, it’s definitely overpriced.
@@bmagadathey want 650 for that black and gold 1 😂.. And I might still get it 🤣
Arai or Shoei is the way to go, and definitely something Snell approved. Track option…really lol.
I am a new rider and I just bought one of these and have been told by some of my friends who ride that they are not good is this true. There seems to be a bug issue with quality apparently
They look good....but that's it
So you own one?
The Boba Fett show was trash. Temuera thinks so too.
When will Atlas 5.0 be released?
exos comes out April 24
What he say?
I have the 4.0 liquid carbon, great helmets
😂
How do I become a Show Store ?? 😁
I really wish they would make a modular helmet. Not a full face helmet guy. Very disappointing
I think Ruroc needs a Blockhead themed/ designed graphic!
Worst company customer service I've ever dealt with. And mediocre product. Would not recommend.

I love goooooollllllllllddddddddd
These things are way too tight. They need a bigger size.
ICON is the same way... not enough shell sizes.
Oh hey Ruroc, those guys who scammed me out of $800 for a piece of garbage helmet I literally wouldn't wear out of safety concerns!

Anyone reading this… DONT BUY RUROC. BlockHead should be embarrassed.
Are they made in China?
Ruroc has the all time worst reviews for customer service and build quality. I'd shop around to every other manufacturer before getting one,
They're just looks. A cheap bilt helmet works the same.
I'm sure you get what you pay for, and with the price, it's got to be quality. I plan on buying when I can afford one
