      Yo Ruroc ... I'm definitely looking forward to getting my helmet back in the correct size. (It's my fault I ordered the wrong size) However I got a serious question for you .... I know you offer the ProtecTint Pinlock. HOWEVER ... can we PLEASE get a photochromic visor option? I'd much rather just have 1 visor I can wear for an all day/night ride situation. Carrying multiple visors when you know you will be transition riding day to night is a PITA!

    I love my 4.0 too. Excellent delivery. Excellent fit straight out the box. The best fitting after trying many other top brands. Used the online sizing guide. I find it very comfortable also. Never any pain or discomfort after hours of use. Love the air flow when needed through the vents. Looks great. Love the fidlock. So easy. Just super comfortable. Well pleased with mine after 6 months ownership. Had a slight issue with my Shockwave system. Sent me a new one no questions asked. Did not want the old one back. No issues with after sales for me.

      I love my helmet as well but to be honest I am a little disheartened because a couple of my friends have purchased Ruroc helmets and they've had some issues and when they're reached out to customer service they were treated pretty damn poorly. So I'm still keeping an eye on this but man I hate seeing that

    This is a fantastic honest review. I took a chance on Ruroc despite the love/hate reviews because the new Eox Ignis looks beautiful with my 2023 Baja Orange Road Glide Special. I have found I’m an in between size with helmets. I’m too big for a small so I bought mediums from Bell and Scorpion. Within a month they no longer fit me and are wobbling all over my head. I got the medium and it’s small enough that I actually have to take the time to break the padding in. That means when it’s actually broken in I will be able to keep it. I also found what you said about the ear room true as both my other helmets my ears had always felt compressed and hurt. The Ruroc has so much ear room for me. Thanks again for the review. It’s nice to see these guys get some honest love

    Great review! I have the 4.0 commander, wore it out of the box on a ride to key west and back, 3200 miles, helmet was great. Perfect fit. I did have a slight "hotspot" in the very back of my head that did alleviate some over time, but I blame that on my noggin. Had no issues in the rain.
    Also have the shockwave. Music is clear, easy to operate. The controls were hard to use, however, I ran it thru my phone. The only real issue I have with that is the comms. They kept dropping with loss of signal, that and because it is basically an extended phone call there is a 2-3 delay. So if somthing needs dealt with from another rider weather it be traffic or possibly a quick turn..you've missed it.

      Hi there, did you remove the extra layer of padding inside the helmet to loosen it up? That really has worked for anyone who said to me it was too small. Either way, sorry to hear you ran into issues with it, hopefully this gets squared away soon and you're back in a helmet you want

    • @MikyMiguel777
      @MikyMiguel777 2 года назад +2

      So I went thru the same issue… I order and 2 days later it was deliver to my door step. Sizing, I went with RUROC sizing chart… I couldn’t even get it pass my forehead lol I email them and send them a video so they could see how small the helmet was. They took like 3 days got reply, by that time I was already thinking of just returned instead of exchange. Their reply was to recommend sizing up 2 sizes up which is crazy but because they thought that the next size up will not fit either. At this point I think is just better to somehow find a used one on OfferUp or something try it on and dont place an order until I’m sure of the size.

    On Oct 2 .. I ordered the Atlas 4.0 Serpent in M/L based on their sizing chart. I received it about 5 days later since I ordered on a Sunday. Once I received it I couldn't get it on. Sent it back to exchange for the L/XL (They provided the label & they received the original last Mon Oct 17th) Today is Oct 28 I my replacement has yet to ship! Yesterday they released the "Riding essentials bundle" Which is the helmet, additional visor, shockwave, helmet bag, & pinlock for the price of the helmet. Since they hadn't shipped my helmet as of today I asked if they would throw in the bundle. No response yet ..... I'll update when I know more. My advice is whatever size their chart tells you to order go up 1 size!!

    Did your helmet have black marking around it? I received this color helmet Sept 30, sent it back for exchange and received the new one today, once again with black markings on it. I don't know if it's the packaging (which I doubt it), the helmet bag, or just back quality control. I'm very disappointed as I had to wait almost 30 days for an exchange and trying to get a full face to ride more in the winter.

    Nice video Ben. I concur with everything you said. I still really like my 4.0 also, I do swap between it and my Arai if I'm not recording video but I've spent a few hours at a time in the 4.0 and a trip to mexico here and there. 80mph + does give me a little bobble and some buffeting, but so does my Arai, so no faults there.
    Truely a good version this time around. I'll be curious what they choose to change up for the eventual 5.0, maybe that ambidextrous visor opening 🤞
