Average Customer Rating:5.0 out of 5 (based on 3 ratings)
Shoei's RF-1000 is designed for the rider who demands exceptional quality, function and features.
Features
Aerodynamic Shell Design
Aerodynamic properties are maximized through extensive wind tunnel and rider testing.
The Aero Stabilizer dramatically reduces drag and lift coefficients, thus diminishing rider fatigue and increasing performance.
Two-Layer EPS Liner System
Two-layer liner offers unmatched ventilation with internal channels and exhaust ports throughout the helmet.
Integrated Upper Air Intake minimizes air turbulence and maximizes air stream in all riding positions.
Outlet holes in the Aero Stabilizer allow warm air to be exhausted.
The lower air intake provides an additional source of air flow.
The neck outlet vent allows for effective air exhaust.
Lightweight, Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus (AIM+)
High performance fiber materials are combined with extremely elastic organic fibers to create a shell structure that is ultra lightweight, rigid and resilient.
Anti-Fog System
The lower air intake provides air flow that helps to diminish shield fogging.
3D Interior Liner
Removable interior cheek pads available in optional sizes for a custom fit.
Chin strap cover can easily be removed to allow for cleaning or replacement.
Standard Chin-Strap Clip
Neatly secures chin strap.
CX-1 V Shield and Lock System
Q.R.B.P. (Quick-Release Base Plate) allows tool-less shield removal.
A wide, 3-dimensionally curved shield offers increased peripheral vision and optical clarity.
Scratch-resistant coating.
100% protection from harmful UV A & B rays.
A pre-set lever can easily lock the shield in place to prevent it from opening unexpectedly.
Pros: This is my first and only helmet...but, I tried many others on and rode with several different ones prior to purchasing the RF-1000. The Shoei by far is the most comfortable and vents the best out of all the helmets I've tried on. And I like that it's not crazy ostentatious with the vents and they're fairly discreet. Wind noise is negligible and I only notice it when the wind outside is really kickin'!
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: Purchased XL and it fits perfect!

great helmet
By Frank from Chicago, IL on 08/16/2007
Pros: Great fit and vents work well.
Cons: More road noise than my Arai Quantum II.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Comments: I'd never go back to my Arai after wearing this, feels so much better on my head and I think it looks a lot better too.
