Shoei RF-1400 MM93 Track Helmet

Shoei, A Company Known For Its Trustworthiness Symbolized By Its Logo, Has Successfully Blended Superb Quality, Stylishly Sleek Design, Utmost Comfort, And Safety Into Its Latest Iteration Of The Iconic Flagship RF Lineup, The RF-1400. Since Its First Introduction In 1984, The RF Has Been A Staple Bucket In The Moto Community, And Years Of Research And Development Have Led To An Evolution In Safety, Design, Comfort, Noise Reduction, And All-Around Quality That Only Shoei Can Provide.

Design Concept

Through Wind Tunnel Tests, Shoei Has Refined The RF's Aerodynamics And Ventilation To Push The Design Forward. The Company Achieved A 4% Reduction In Drag And 6% Reduction In Lift, Optimizing The Compact, Aerodynamic Shell Shape To Maximize Ventilation As Air Flows Over The Rider. Additionally, The RF-1400 Is The Lightest SNELL Approved Full-Face Helmet In Shoei's New Offerings, Without Compromising Important Characteristics Such As Wind Noise Reduction. The New Noise Reduction Technology Ensures That Riders Experience No Earache Despite The Helmet's Lightweight Construction.

Quietness

Shoei Designed The Spoilered Shell Shape Using Wind Tunnel Testing, Resulting In A Quieter Shell Design. The All-New CWR-F2 Shield System Was Also Tweaked Using Vortex Generator Technology To Displace Wind Turbulence. The RF-1400 Features An Airtight Window Beading System That Creates A Windproof And Waterproof Seal, So Tight That It Feels Like Trying To Open A Pickle Jar. The Helmet Also Includes Voluminous Cheek Pads And Removable Ear Pads To Soften The Impact Of Wind Noise.

Shell And EPS Liner Construction

Shoei's Proprietary Technology Integrates A Matrix Of Hand-Laid Interwoven Layers Of Fiberglass And Lightweight Organic Fibers To Create A Helmet That Meets Both SNELL M2020 And DOT Ratings. The Result Is Shoei's Strongest And Most Elastic Shell, Providing Optimal Impact Absorption For The Wearer. The RF-1400 Is Also Lined With A Dual Layer Of Multi-Density EPS Foam Liner, Which Aids In Impact Absorption And Allows Cool Air To Flow Through The Channels Created In The Liner. The Precise Placement Of The EPS Material Played A Crucial Role In Shaping The RF-1400's Compact And Lightweight Design.

Shield System

Shoei Completely Reworked The Baseplate Design For The RF-1400, Replacing The Old Baseplates From The RF-1200 With The New CWR-F2 Base Plate System. This System Facilitates Quicker And Smoother Shield Changes, With A Redesigned Shield Adjuster Mechanism That Is Smoother And More Precise Than Ever. The New Baseplate Gear Introduces An All-New "First Position" Shield Opening Feature, Allowing For Advanced Venting And Defogging. Additionally, The RF Series Features A Conveniently Located Locking Mechanism That Distributes Shield Forces Evenly Across Both Sides.

The 3D Injection-Molded CWR-F2 Shield Provides A Distortion-Free Field Of Vision While Protecting The Wearer's Eyes From 99% Of The Sun's Harmful UV Rays. The 2D "Outside" Surface, Combined With 3D Technology, Provides An Aggressive Look Without Compromising Visibility. To Eliminate Fog And Improve Lateral Visibility, The Helmet Comes With An Included, 10% Wider Pinlock EVO.

Interior

The Interior Of The RF-1400 Is Made From Max-Dry Materials, Which Are Fully Removable, Washable, Replaceable, And Adjustable. These Materials Absorb And Dissipate Sweat Two Times Quicker Than Traditional Nylon, Ensuring Maximum Comfort. The Soft And Durable Cheek Pad Fabric Provides A Plush Fit, And The Voluminous Pad Material Is Multi-Layered For Improved Stabilization And Noise Reduction.

For A Customized Fit, The Helmet Offers Optional Interior Components In Different Sizes.

Ventilation Performance

We Understand This Is A Detailed Description, But We Want To Highlight The Exceptional Features Of This Helmet. The Ventilation System Includes Three Channels That Regulate Six Air Entryways: Two In The Center, Two In The Chin Bin, And One On Each Side Of The Temples. The Center/Forehead Vent Has Been Relocated And Now Has An Additional Air Vent Hole Compared To The Previous Model, And The Side Vents Are More Extensive For Greater Air Intake. The Helmet Also Features A No-Fuss, Large 3-Position Lower Vent Shutter That Is Easy To Operate, Even With Gloves On. Additionally, The RF-1400 Has A Redesigned Enlarged Exhaust Vent With Four Outlets That Efficiently Remove Hot Air While Letting In Refreshing Cool Air.
