- Superb quality, stylishly sleek design and utmost comfort and safety are blended together at the company thats as candid of its trustworthiness as the logo emblazoned on its forehead: Shoei is proud to deliver its latest iteration of the iconic flagship RF lineup, the RF-1400. The RF has been a staple bucket in the moto community since its first introduction in 1984, and years of R&D have led the evolution in safety, design, comfort, noise reduction and just all around good quality that only Shoei is prepared to provide.
- The wind tunnel tests have refined the RFs aerodynamics and ventilation to help evolve the design forward. Shoei managed to wring out the RF1200 feets aerodynamics with a 4% reduction in drag and 6% reduction in lift. The compact, aerodynamic shell shape is made to maximize ventilation as air flows over you while doubling as the lightest SNELL approved full-face helmet in Shoeis new offerings. No rider wants to forfeit important characteristics that most lighter helmets compromise on, such as wind noise. But the RF-1400, while being the lightest in the lineup, leaves no room for earache with its new noise reduction technology.
- The shape of the spoilered shell was designed in a wind tunnel and through that testing, Shoei was able to provide a quieter shell design while also tweaking the shape of the all new CWR-F2 shield system using their Vortex Generator technology to displace wind turbulence. An all new, airtight window beading system provides a windproof and waterproof seal so tight, you d think it was your turn to take a crack at opening the pickle jar. The RF-1400 also sports some more voluminous cheek pads and removable ear pads to help soften the blow of wind noise.
- Proprietary technology integrates a matrix of hand-laid interwoven layers of fiberglass and light-weight organic fibers to deliver a helmet that not only meets SNELL M2020 and DOT ratings, but is Shoeis strongest, most elastic shell providing the wearer with optimal impact absorption. Adding to that, the RF-1400 is lined with a dual layer of multi-density EPS foam liner that also aids in impact absorption and allows cool air to flow unrestricted through the channels created in the liner. The precise placement of the EPS material helped shape the RF-1400 feets compact, lightweight design.
Experience refined simplicity with the Shoei RF-1400 Full Face Street Motorcycle Helmet, a model of sleek sophistication available in solid colors for the rider who values minimalist design paired with maximum functionality. Released in 2021 and emerging from Shoei's extensive heritage in helmet innovation, the RF-1400 has been rigorously tested in Shoeis wind tunnel to optimize aerodynamics and ventilation, resulting in reduced lift and drag compared to its predecessor, the RF-1200. This helmet features six air intakes and four exhaust vents meticulously engineered to ensure your head remains cool under any condition. The airtight window beading creates a robust wind and waterproof seal, while the CWR-F2 shield offers clear visibility and UV protection, enhanced by a centrally located release button for smooth operation. Constructed with multiple layers of fiberglass and a dual-layer, multi-density EPS liner, the RF-1400 provides exceptional impact protection. Its exclusive Max-Dry interior material wicks away sweat twice as fast as traditional nylon, enhancing comfort for prolonged wear. Removable and washable, the liner ensures hygiene and durability. Weighing just 3.64 pounds and now available in 3XL sizes, this helmet meets Snell M2020D, DOT, and FMVSS 218 standards, offering a blend of safety and style suitable for any street rider.
