Average Customer Rating:4.5 out of 5 (based on 1 rating)
One of the most technologically advanced helmets for street riders and clearly one of the best-looking helmets on the market.
Shoei’s innovation and cutting-edge design makes the RF-1000 a premium sports helmet.
Aerodynamically superior, the RF-1000 full-face sport helmet delivers wind tunnel proven high speed performance and ventilation. A perfect fit is achieved through removable and adjustable cheek pads and 3D comfort liner system which doesn’t shift during high speed riding.
Another facet of the legendary Shoei fit is the use of 4 shell sizes, and 5 sizes of EPS liners. The RF-1000 shell is of Shoei’s proprietary AIM + (Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus Multi-fiber Technology), which embeds ultra strong organic fibers into fiberglass.The result is a lightweight, yet strong, outer shell that is better able to absorb and disperse the force of an impact.
The RF-1000 Protection, at its technological best.

Pros: Very good adjustable venting. 5 Shell sizes. Effective breath deflector. Very light
Cons: Not the cheapest lid...
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: I'd call this a round oval fit.
My first helmet was a Shoei RF-900. It was awesome, but I dropped it and wound up replacing it with a Scorpion (exo-700) which is a very good lid for the money. I recently went back to Shoei and am very happy. The fit is fabulous, venting is superb and the (included) breath deflector actually works! A note on the "voyager" pattern. It's very hard to see in photos, but this helmet looks much better in person. The white areas are actually a two tone (gloss and sparkle) white on white flame pattern. It has a 3D effect and is beautiful. This really doesn't come across in photos.
